Guest guest Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Joanne, I'm trying to sort out the differing websites that make conflicting statements such as... 1) ketosis all the time is good and natural 2) if you eat low carb all of the time, your body becomes so efficient at burning ketones for fuel that you won't actually test as being in ketosis after a period of time (so how do you do it then?) 3) You will lost muscle tone from long-term ketosis 4) Athletes should rotate between ketosis and carb-loading to prevent muscle loss & to provide endurance 5) There are negative health effects from ketosis that must be monitored (this is reported in ketogenic diet literature) I know you have been researching this info for years, so I'd love to hear your responses. My cousin fought the keto diet for her daughter's intractable epilepsy for over 10 years. She finally rolled up her sleeves and tried it and it was the best thing they ever did -- but they are closely monitored for " adverse health effects. " My kids and I do much better off the starchy carbs, but I am not sure we have ever been in ketosis for any length of time.  Thx,  >________________________________ > >To: " fibromyalgiacured " <fibromyalgiacured > >Sent: Friday, July 27, 2012 5:55 AM >Subject: Laurie: Why we have so much pain and why it will not go away > > > >Laurie > >Right now it is better to focus on the diet and get it working for you.
