(how do you get into ketosis when you're eating regularly? I have never heard of this before)

They are called ketone test strips. Get the cheapest you can find because they all work the same. But they sell them for like twice as much in this diabetic brand.
I decided to go shopping first and see if I still want to end it later.

I get into ketosis by completely avoiding sugars.
After my refeed (ice cream or something) I go and do an hour or so of steady speed cardio. Then I go back to my regular diet of fatty meats, flax, and veggies. Completely avoiding sugars and getting a very low amount of carbohydrates (less than 15 usually). I always feel much more energetic and clear headed in ketosis.

How's your gut?

Better, but still a little gassy and tender.
I quit my fast at around the 42 hour mark. Next time, if I ever do this again for this purpose, I'm not going to fast but do what the instructions say on the Revitalx. Eat lots of raw greens and fruits while chugging a few shakes of the stuff. Which is DELICIOUS. My god that stuff is good.
It's helping too.
But I figure that if I ever have another allergen reaction or something of that effect, I need to have nutrients to help with digestion rather than nothing. There was this witch at Whole Foods I talked to that agreed and thought that I shouldn't be fasting since I'm already almost underweight.

Glad you're doing what's right for you. 
Still on my fast, and holding.

Damn, I'm proud of you Moth!
As for me, it's worse again. The area isn't as much bloated as just lumpy. And today I was getting sharp stabbing pains in my abdomen. I'm considering eating a big bag of nuts. Last time I did that, I had dreams where I was being raped it was so effective. But there are doubts that it would work this time, and if it didn't things wouldn't be nice.
