Re: and Jean: Ketostix help us determine our threshold

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have not used any of the ketosis sticks. It is said you will reach a point

where the ketosis will not show up on the sticks. I used to check my ratios, and

my carb intake was low enough, it was most likely I was in ketosis, and also

could tell some by how outgoing I was. I have been through some of the atkins

books, and their site. It can be some good info, but certainly you do not need

or want to take any of their products(Joanne has said this some before). Those

products try to be a substitute for all those foods we cannot have and be

healthy-bread, crackers, cookies, etc. They use artificial sugars, and sugar

alcohols, and processed grains. To cut down on grains, it is best to

soak/prepare in some lemon juice or apple cider vinegar some brown rice, millet,

and there was mention of some thing else, By Bee, but cannot remember it, oh yes

it was buckwheat, which is a seed. then gradually reduce them. You will start to

lose interest/and taste for off diet foods. This site has some great success

stories with pictures.

begin with an induction diet where you are allowed 20g of carbs. Everybody,

enters ketosis on this diet, and this is how people loose weight on the Atkins

diet.
