Hi — if my ketosis sticks are turning dark pink-to-purple, does that definitely mean that I am LOSING (inches or pounds)? Is it possible to be in ketosis and NOT be buring fat? Thanks in advance for your help.
Meh, lost weight, stopped, gained…gotta get back on track. Anyone wanna join forces? I could totally use a support system.
I’m going shopping in a couple hours and to be honest….I CANT WAIT!
I’ve been staying on about 15-18g of total carbs per day.
Today, I went to donate blood. They strongly suggest that you have something to eat or drink afterward before you try to leave the facility. This is the first time I’ve donated blood since doing Atkins, and even though I had a lot to drink and ate a good meal before going in, I did feel just a little light headed when I first got up.
I drank a whole bottle of water, and looked through the snacks. Most are things like Little Debbie cakes and Lance crackers. But I found a package of roasted peanuts with only 6g carbs (2 of fiber). I chose to eat that before leaving.
I know it’s not Induction-approved, and it put my total carb count for the day up to about 24 g. What do you think? If I just get back on to the lower threshold tomorrow, everything should be OK, right?
How should I count the carbs for the Davinci syrups? The bottle says 0 carbs per serving (2TB) but I know they can say that if it’s below 1 carb. So, I’m wondering how many carbs I should count if I’m using multiple servings (say for recipes.)
Ok, I’ve done this before and I’ve never experienced these two things. My breathe is absolutely rancid. I find myself chewing on sugarfree gum even though I know I shouldn’t. I can’t help it! I think if I smell my breathe (mostly when I go to brush my teeth), I know others can smell it. And I’ve had a headache for probably the past 3 days.
I’ve never had these side effects before when doing Atkins. Today marks day 6 so I guess it’s normal for these things.
Does anyone have any suggestions or any idea on when these might go away?
Thanks in advance!
Paige
I’ve been waiting on these last 10 lbs for years (in between having my children!) I started induction 3 days ago and can’t believe the results already! Nothing has gotten me past this plateau!! Anyone else working on that last 10 lbs?
