Kick Start

I read about this on the grads board - have taken a quick look, but here is the link if you are interested: http://www.bsciresourcecenter.com/proddetail.php?prod=5DKS

this might be what i'm starting on Monday as opposed to the 5 day pouch test. I have to chew stuff or i'm going to get crazy. Seems pretty easy if i'm reading it right. I printed it out so that I can make the magic work. ANDI

I thought it would be easier to follow too, I may try and get hold of some test strips so I know if I'm in ketosis or not. Here's to Monday

our drug store has them, I'm going to have to pick up some serious proteins this weekend so i can start on Monday. I have gained about 5lbs since the bar mitzvah and I want it gone before it invites others to join it! I also find that i'm having some psychological food issues, i'm now eating when i'm not hungry, that's pretty new for me and I want that to stop. I will have to keep a drink handy and see if i can work it differently starting on Monday. I will also put all of my supplements into snack bags so I can grab them in the morning and be out the door.

The diet that they are suggesting is the Atkins starter diet. I did this many years ago and it was great. You cannot cheat at all and the cravings do go away. I think that this is kind of what the pouch test does for me. I used to check my urine daily and it is easy to be in ketosis. It is different than ketoacidosis which is what most diabetics are testing for which is a bad thing. If you are thinking of doing this diet there is a ton of info about the Atkins diet. H

I am gonna do this on Monday instead of the pouch test....I need to chew too! Trish
