I have been wobbling lately. It started with some Rebel Ice Cream and Breyer’s Carb Smart Bars. I had also been occassionally eating some Lily’s Chocolate. I’ve been staying within my macros. About 1400 calories per day. Protein at 90-105 grams, fat usually around 60 grams, and carbs under 20. My weight has been fluctulating between 186 lbs, lowest so far and 191 lbs for the last month. I’m at 198.6 today. I don’t feel like I’m in ketosis and urine strips say no. I’ve been craving a lot and hungrier than normal. Now for the question? Will a 72 hour fast get me back into ketosis? Thank you.
Yes. Fasting will get you back into ketosis.
Stop using the urine strips. They are not reliable or accurate and depend on your hydration.

Strips are like $.60 a piece. They will tell you definitively if you’re in medical ketosis or not.
