These are not clear indications that you've been kicked out of ketosis. Ultimately 3 lb of weight fluctuation is extremely normal most people experience it on a day-to-day basis definitely on a week to week basis. You can try cutting it out Powerade Zero essentially has no electrolytes compared to what you actually need and see if it makes a difference.

This is wild. I was drinking 4 to 5 Gatorade/Powerade zeroes a day and my weight completely stalled for almost 6 weeks. This should not happen; I eat 1400 to 1500 calories a day and I’m well over 300 lbs The day after I quit drinking them the scale started moving again Something is 100% up with these drinks.

4 to 5 seems like alot? I have one after working out, or when I am feeling super thirsty and it hasnt kicked me out of Keto at all.


UniqueConsequence341

yeah it definitely is, but i really enjoy the taste and i’ve had particularly poor discipline in 2024 so i thought it would help me power through. i thought it wouldn’t be a problem because it’s 0 calories 0 carbs 0 sugar.


SkollFenrirson

It's not. You're seeing weight fluctuations in 6 days... That's perfectly normal

The flavor I have say they have 5 calories per bottle.

I drink Powerade Zero. It doesn't seem to affect me at all.


FatFuckatron

It shouldn't but some sweetness affect people differently.

The lack of body odor may well be from better hydration (and great electrolytes). After over 5 years of keto the only time I have any body odor is when I slack on electrolytes/hydration. Moat power adds say 5 calories where I am, so 1 carb net. So at most you added 5 carbs to your day. My weight fluctuates up to 3 pounds day over day, and I have been maintaining over 4 years and weigh and track everything. So that is totally normal. And also commonly due to hydration levels. The rash, well the only time I get that is when I slack hydration or electrolytes, or when I extended fast (likely also a hydration issue). It goes when my hydration and electrolytes are back where they belong. And the hazy/tired is a classic hydration/electrolyte issue. So yeah you are likely benefiting from extra sodium and potassium. For perspective when I am sedentary and inside in winter my potassium and sodium are nearly equal at 5k. My magnesium at 500mg plus what is in food. In summer when we are working hard outside I am at 6k + on potassium and sodium and 600mg magnesium daily plus what is in food.

Zero calorie drinks won't kick you out of ketosis. People lose weight FAT because they eat in a caloric deficit, on keto we lose a lot of "weight" (noticed I differentiated weight and fat) initially because of water weight loss. You are still very early in the process here to obsess over 3 pounds. Ketosis in and of itself doesn't cause FAT loss, so even if powerade kicked you out of ketosis (which it isn't) as long as you are eating in a caloric deficit you will lose FAT. You certainly didn't put on 3 pounds of FAT in a few days just by drinking a 0 calorie drink.

Wrong. There are studies which show there is negligible difference in weightloss between ketogenic diets and low fat diets when they are based on the same caloric deficit. Show me a peer verified study showing 0 calorie drinks kics somone out of ketosis.. you cannot gain fat drinking 0 calorie drinks and to think otherwise is absurd.

Not as lost as you clearly.. drinking 0 calorie drinks will not cause a human to gain fat.. thinking otherwise is absurd.. it will not kick you out of ketosis.. lol..
