Re: Langan Update- Wean Almost Complete and Ketones Are Crazy!/

[Guest guest]

,

Thanks for checking on us. I am surprised that I have not heard

from the neuro, but I need to call them tomorrow to see if we need

to keep taking carnitine after keto, so I will ask and let you know.

Langan's BHBs are now closer to where I thought they would be-

waking was 0.9 yesterday and 0.5 today. I have not been able to get

a nighttime check- either Langan has gone to sleep too soon after

eating for one that would mean anything or something else has

happened to foil my plans. I will hopefully get one tonight, to see

if the pattern makes any sense. She had chocolate lowfat yogurt

tonight so I would expect no ketones, but you know with Langan you

can never expect things to go as expected!

Tomorrow is our first non-keto day in over 9 months. After making

dinner tonight (where I used the scale even though nothing needed to

be weighed at this point), I didn't have the heart to pack away the

scale. This is going to take some getting used to!

I hope all is well with . I'll be sticking around to keep an

eye on all my favorite keto-kids. Even though Langan will no longer

be on the diet, I feel like a keto mom for life!

> I would think that for her to have high bhb after fasting that

she is using stored fat for energy/survival rather than stored

glucose (glycogen) for some reason - usually the body will

preferentially use glycogen, but Langan sees to not want to do

that???

> I suppose there was no reason to ever check for ketones before

going on the diet, but she perhaps was in ketosis naturally on and

off before even starting keto - poss why she went too overboard

after being put on it officially?

> Or - is she losing weight right now and producing ketones that

way maybe? Probably too soon too tell I guess?
