Francesca's Sneaking Food all of a Sudden

[Guest guest]

I don't know what's happening here, but Francesca has suddenly

started sneaking food. On Friday, she went into the kitchen and had

a couple of bites of my almond croissant covered in icing sugar (I

was speaking on the phone in the other room), then a little while

later she had a grape (or she only admitted to one!), then she helped

herself to her night time cookie which I had left on the side wrapped

in foil to defrost. (I gave her butter after the croissant). 8pm

blood ketone level was 3.9 which I was amazed at.

Yesterday, she seemed fine, then this morning her ketone level was

just 2.4 which seemed low, but the meals yesterday were a bit all

over the place, as we were out and about all day.

Today, at 4.15 she asked me " may I have my snack " , which was fine -

usual time. She then ate at 7.00, then while I was out in the

garden, at about 8pm, she raided the freezer and ate 5 of her keto

cookies (still frozen, bless her!). Consequently I didn't give her

another one at bedtime!!!

Her ketones don't seem to be significantly lower since we increased

her calories two weeks ago, so I don't think it's that her appetite

is not being suppressed, but could it be that???

Help...
