Thank you. I don't eat keto anymore but with prioritizing protein my carb intake has inadvertently been reduced. Add on that I don't eat after 6:00pm due to reflux, I probably was in ketosis. I couldn't explain how one drink my first day of vacation lead to getting really drunk. I thought it was due to not drinking with food. This makes more sense to me. I am skipping drinking my coming vacation but this connected some dots for me.

@@mrs.fussaplenty395 Awesome, I was hoping it would help someone! 💜

Just for the fun of it, I checked my blood ketone levels before I ate breakfast this morning. The level was 1.4 mmol/L and rough number wise I ate at least 150-200 g carbs yesterday. That is crazy, cause when I did the keto diet I had to eat under 30g of carbs daily to even get into nutritional ketosis. That was 5 years ago and my body hasn't gotten healthier or any less insulin resistant since. I have no intentions of doing keto again but this is great info to have. Thank you

@@mrs.fussaplenty395 My Labs have been better than pre-keto. However I've never been STRICT keto. Generally "dirty lazy" meaning I don't log (I did for a while) but generally stay on track mostly. I'm not concerned about being precise; too constricting for me.

@@mcmomma2083 That's awesome! It was also too restrictive for me and couldn't imagine eating that way for the rest of my life. I did keep some habits with changing my philosophy on fats and adding moderate amounts of healthy fats into my diet. Improving the quality of the carbs I eat. I was eating so many calories on a keto diet that it seemed impossible that I could be losing weight but I lost 60lbs in 8 months. I used to believe that restricting calories or carbs was the way to go but found that balancing all the macros in my diet works better. Now I just try to eat a balanced diet of lean proteins, complex carbs, and healthy fats. That definitely feels like something I can do for a lifetime.
