Yesterday was my sons birthday. I had great intentions of staying strict LC, but it didn't happen that way. I ate meat, cheese, 5 crackers with the LC spinach dip and a butt load of fruit. The worst offending fruits too, grapes and oranges. Did it do me any harm? I don't know, since I ate it all with meat, there were no heart palpations and I never felt my blood sugar spike. Later in the evening my tummy got a very unconfortable bloat going on. I did not eat any cake or ice cream, probably my saving grace. Any residual effects? No cravings this morning, I had a piece of Pizza Quiche for breakfast, no cravings at the moment. Am I in ketosis? No idea, I've been sick so my mouth is thick and nasty anyway, no way of knowing. I was in ketosis for several weeks before this though.

My tummy bloat is still there but not as unconfortable and not quite as bloated. Defanitely need to avoid the fruit and crackers.

Anyones thoughts of what excessive amounts of fruit and a few crackers will do to a person? Throw me out of ketosis? Whats the bloat from? Would 5 crackers cause bloat? Is it possible for fruit to bloat me?

I'm actually intrested to see if yesterdays fruit attack effects me and causes cravings or if fruit doesn't really bother me at all. By the way I'm feeling now, I don't think it bothers me. I'm thinking its the refined sugar that gets to me, calls me by name and all that.
