What is the longest you've been in ketosis without a carb up?

[LewdTenant]

I am on day 8 of my diet now and have been in Ketosis since last week monday Aug 18th.

I was planning on carbing up on Wed, but it would be more convenient to do it on sunday if I want to do it right. My energy levels are decent. My concentration is still there. I also added fiber to my diet recently. I have yet to drop out of ketosis since last week and my ketostix are measuring 5mg/dl-40mg/dl

I'm also taking 1200mg-2000mg/day ALA and 800mcg/day of chromium. 1 tspn/day sugar free metamucil.

My diet is on point. Have not missed a workout yet. Carb cravings are in check since i work in a restaurant and still eat 5g carbs/day or less.

Any input would be appreciated. I have a long day on Wed my planned carb up day and I can't afford to get sleepy from carbs which is what happens to me all my life.

It is possible I can do the carb up on Friday or Sunday. sunday will be optimal.

The main concern of staying in ketosis any longer than that without a break.....is the loss of lean muscle tissue.

I started 2 sunday nights ago Aug 17th. Sunday morning I was down 7-8lbs. I have not weighed myself since then. My last 2 workouts were cardio at home and I took today off since my day was so damn busy. i'm glad I did not attempt my carb up today. I had a lot of unexpected red tape to go through for school registration.

I was told I was not admitted as a student when I went to add some classes. I had to go to the Student Admissions office. A lady there told me one of transcrpits were not official. I suggested she call the college and voila. It is official. But that means more scrambling around to get my classes and school started on Monday! I'm attending the classes I was to attend and hope everything falls into place.

for the first time I cheated today. I had about 3 bites of cheese pizza and a lot of ground beef maybe 50g protein at one siting. I was not able to eat for 6 hours because of the debacle at school and it was a high stress day initially being told I would have to go to school next Spring

carb up on sunday. I am already planning it.
