5 Day Ketosis Diet Question
It is a 5 day diet that your surgeon puts you on. The diet is nothing but lean protein(three 3oz portions per day), chicken & beef broth(1 cup per meal each day), clear liquids and up to 3/4 cup of egg beaters or whites per day(optional). This puts your body into ketosis.
You do this for 2 reasons:
1. To prove compliance after five days t you go to the dr. and they do a urine test to make sure your body is in ketosis. The test also tells the dr. that you have not eaten any carbohydrates.
2. This diet also helps to shrink and clean out your liver which makes the surgery easier for the dr. This will also help to shed quite a bit of weight during the 5 days.

The ketosis lifestyle should be your postop lifestyle forever. We eat protein first small a outs of veggies, cheese, eggs and sugar free. Not Splenda

Every time I have used Splenda or something that contains Splenda over the years it immediately kicks me out of Ketosis. It takes 2 days to get back in so I don't let Splenda touch my lips

Wow! Are you able to use any artificial sweetener without kicking you out of ketosis?
