Two cups a day?  I have to respectfully disagree with this one.  I do a 
LOT of wild berry picking every summer.  Even now that my knees and 
lower back are toast, I can still pick a quart an hour in a decent 
patch.  Twenty years ago, I could pick twice that fast. Let's just say I 
get quite "focused" on berry picking in the summer:  wild raspberries, 
wild blueberries, wild rosehips, wild lingonberries.  (June K. might be 
able to back me up on this!) Doesn't matter which berry, the rate of 
picking is about the same. Wild berries are small, but they tend to 
concentrate in areas, and if you know where a good berry patch is, you 
don't tell anyone...especially if it's fairly near a road!  Kind of like 
fishing holes....

But it is definitely possible to lose ketosis in a good wild blueberry 
or raspberry patch in early August.  Lingonberries, no, probably not 
enough sugar in them to make you lose ketosis no matter how late in the 
season or how many you pick.  Those babies are TART!
