    Generally have 1/2 a grapefruit, 1 kiwi or a cup of strawberries post
    workout, but half-1.5 hours post.

    If you're taking in the fruit as a means to replenish, you might
    want to look into how fructose and other 'oses are handled by the
    body.

    No. I just eat them to have some non-brown food in my diet. I've had
    some very excellent workouts on sub-10g carb days.

    In short, fructose will stay in your liver and replenish glycogen
    stores there (a problem with getting/staying in ketosis) where
    dextrose will more readily sent to the blood stream and thereby
    more accessible for muscle glycogen replenishment.

    I haven't seemed to have this problem as of yet. Very steady ketosis,
    very steady loss. I could see how others might have a problem, but
    carbs (even with the fruit) are like <40G every day, and <10% of total
    calories. Protein Power!
