Re: Questions about ketosis and weight loss

[Guest guest]

Hi Joanne,

Thanks for the reminder about the supplements. I knew I needed to add the

mag, calcium and C in the evening, too (and usually forgot - so this

motivates me to try harder), but I didn't read the list close enough to

realize that I should also be adding my heaping T. of nutritional yeast

then, too (in addition to taking it in the morning). Ideally, I'll try to

spread the C out to 4x a day - don't know if it's going to happen :-(

What I'm currently working on right now is the water fast once a week.

Last Friday I did it, except that I drank my broth and took my supplements

in the morning and then I had my sauerkraut and oil before I went to bed -

so, a partial fast. The biggest problem was the amount of activity and the

feelings of weakness (I lift weights and do interval workouts on M/W/F).

So, I'm trying one today (Thursday) because I'm out of the house a lot

today and don't have a lot of time to eat anyway. I already messed up this

morning because I forgot and had my broth (but nothing else). So, I'm

going to drink only water until Friday morning's broth, right? I wasn't

going to take supplements today - or should I?

I'm also trying to figure out how to get everyone in the house doing bees

diet. I think they all need it (everyone's been on gaps since December and

we spent 2 months on intro for Lent). Healing has been occurring

(dyslexia, dyspraxia, asthma), but there's much too much craving for

fruit/honey/baked goods/cheese/peanut butter (I limit fruit to 2 servings a

day, baked goods to once a week and less than a t. of honey in dripped

yogurt once a day, 1-2 oz. cheese and less than 1 t. of peanut butter a

day).

So, my biggest concern is weight loss. 3 of my six kids are very

underweight, 2 are perfect weight and 1 could lose 10 pounds. Dh has 2

pounds to lose to get to his target weight (he's already lost 38 pounds),

so I know he won't be motivated to do this, either. I've lost 29 pounds so

far and would like to lose another 11. Is there a way to be in ketosis and

maintain (or gain) weight? Or should they not go into ketosis? I know

candida is an issue (not by testing, just cravings) - so trying to figure

out how to do this with them.

Thanks!
