Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss
Recent Posts
For me I just stayed 20 until I was through with losing. Cheese sodium does not stay with me, but bacon sure does! Must be the nitrites.
Ketones/ketostix - Any ketones equals ketosis, kind of like being a little pregnant or a little dead. You either are, or you are not.
Ketostix are affected by how old they are, the humidity where you tested, the humidity where you keep them - and of course, like you know, ketones are hugely affected by how hydrated you are, which is usually why optimum time to test is first urine upon waking, since it tends to be the most concentrated of the day.
Any is good baby! You are doing it! Maybe drop the supadelicious bacon for a bit and see if that was being a culprit. I would suggest dropping the cheese, but I would not suggest anyone doing something I sure would not wanna do! :}
Muwah.
The best ketosis indicator for me is not the stix, the taste in my mouth (I do not get it), or stanky breath (only have morning breath, my other day's breath is fine), or pit stank (only happens when I have stress combined with hormones or sit under florescent bulbs for extended periods of time, then my pits stank of angry tiger whiz) but the calming of the "gimme" cravings.
I haven't bought yet but when I do I will be glad to post them.

Please do check the useful stickied discussion threads at the top of the welcome page -- Are you trying to get your intake primarily from processed low-carb foods at this point? And ... What is a lean/green meal?
(I'm a fan of the labrada shakes, but check the carbs on those ....)
Are you tracking your intake?

Happy Friday Low carbers;
I am waiting to get a lap band and decided to get busy with as low carb as I can get.
Doing great all week!
2 shakes per day and 1 lean/green meal.
Today: 1 Labrada banana shake and 1 Atkins Stawberry so far.....
I googled Atkins Rungs after I read your earlier post and found it all online. I've bookmarked it and also gotten out my old hardbound 72 Atkins Diet Revolution to read.
Thanks for all your help. I appreciate you!

Which book is this "rung ladder" from?
