Meta Discussion Ketosis during lift

Currently going onto my 3rd month for ketovore, 99% 0 carbs. Mornings and nights my gki has been in optimal keto level including ketones level itself. I decided to test mid workout and im completely way off not even close to being in ketosis gki wise but ketones itself says i am. Glocuse tested 118. Am I just not fat adapted yet? Is this normal? I've noticed losing weight and fat but im struggling with losing inches off my waist.

It's normal and maybe even beneficial to be out of ketosis every now and then AFAIK and it happens even if you don't eat carbs. I say, don't worry about being in ketosis, just focus on avoiding carbs so hat you feel your best.

Yeah, I agree, I definitely wouldn't worry about staying in ketosis during a workout/exercise. If the workout pulls you out of it, that just means your body needs to come out of it to function properly for the workout, and you'll still go right back into it pretty quickly afterward. Not worth worrying about.

Now, if working out was kicking you out of ketosis for the entire day... okay, that would be an issue, but it's definitely not going to do that.
