Well, there's good news and there's bad news.
The good news is that yesterday morning, the strip showed me firmly in ketosis after only two days of a fat fast, which means I could go back to as much salad greens as I want (without dressing, I eat it in handfuls like chips or popcorn when I watch TV), along with lean pork chops, fish, hard boiled eggs, etc.
The bad news was I had a fainting spell. Not a low blood sugar faint, though. A couple of my meds have a side effect of occasional fainting. I know what that feels like, and I know what a low blood sugar faint feels like. I can't really put it in words, but they're very different sensations right before it happens. This was very distinctly a meds one. But when I came to, my best friend (unable to know which kind it was) was feeding me the last few bites of a chocolate bar and a second full-sugar coke.
*sigh* Back to the drawing board. At least another pound came off.
