That's exactly what I was eluding to above, but I didn't go that route and balloon back out, I just fueled for the moment as I also mentioned above. HOWEVER I haven't done keto, I don't think I could do it, so I'm not totally aware of how that would affect things. The strict monitoring is something that I have found would mean I wouldn't last with doing it. Alternatively what I did was low carb, or what is called banting. My carb uptake was so low (~30g/day for about 2 months) that I have zero doubt that I was in ketosis for some time while being strict about the diet. But I have found that banting is more of a lifestyle diet and it fits in really well with me an the foods that appeal to me.
