Peanut Butter stalling me from getting into Ketosis?!?!
So I have been eating strictly Keto, carbs at about 25g per day and hitting my protein and fat goals, but I am still not in Ketosis. I started on Thursday 2/18 so it has technically been 4 days and I tested today with a Ketostix and 'nothing' - I am trying to be patient, but everywhere I have read said it normally only takes about 3-4 days to get into Ketosis. But maybe i had that much glucose in my system before starting?! I don't know!
Anyways, i have been having about 3 tbsp of peanut butter (Jif Creamy) everyday. Peanut butter gives me life, like I love it so much, so originally I was stoked that I could have PB while on Keto. But after looking at it, I didn't realize how much sugar is in there. Do you think that PB could be stalling me from getting into Ketosis?! I feel like I should nix it all together. :( Which will be a sacrifice I am willing to make if it will help me lose.
Please advise.
