If the correct amount is taken ( I myself us 24 grams), it will only kick you out of ketosis for a very short time (I'm back in within the hour). The benefit it gives to keep muscle from breaking down and helping build far, far outweighs being kicked out of ketosis for such a short time!


This is why I end up confused! I think I'll have to get some dextrose and mess around with keto sticks to work things out!
