Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 I was not paying 100% attention,but it just seems to complicated to me. With atkins, i know what i can eat, i eat it, and that's it. I don't want to know from balancing anything.....and as i said, the reward meal would kill me....

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 Cathy, Ketosis is explained in Atkins book on page 57-63. It says that when you burning Ketones you are burning fat, now they said when you body is burning ketones it is burning poisons!! How can not burning poison be good?? At least I thought that is what they said?? They confused me on this point. Frist they said ketosis was bad, and never really said why and then when explaining ketosis they said it was the burning off of poisons from eating not enough carbs. She didn;t explain it exactly like that but thats what I got out of it. I am going re-read that part tonight and see if I can unconfuse me!! There is too much going on around here right now.

And, you really only get to that many ketones if you're not drinking enough water....not flushing out the ketones, poison, whatever. I know they just said the blanket statement " ketosis is bad " , though. I feel good about the Atkins plan and what he says about it. My weight is coming off slower than I'd like (16 pounds in 7 weeks), but I feel much more energetic than I used to. And, I know I'm not disciplined enough to have a " reward meal " each and every day. I have one " reward day " per month. I just had it Saturday and didn't gain, thank goodness! The next reward day isn't til Thanksgiving now, so I have to be good! Oh, well, I've rambled on.... just wanted to give my interpretation of ketosis and cad.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 I know that I would cheat on the diet from Oprah. It sure sounded like the people were trying to eat all the good foods and still stay on the program and the authors kept telling them thats not how you count the foods. Oprah said she still had 5 min. left in her hour so she had a piece of choc cake!!! I could stuff myself in that hour. Penny I am doing a happy dance for you, for you being a pound down! WTG.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 I agree with you Cathy it is confusing I did research on ketosis when I started this diet I even had the blessing of 2 uroligist that say being in ketosis dosent harm you unless you are in the large and darkest purple for a long time(this means your dehydrated)and that can damage your kidneys. Sorry but I will take the say so of 2 speaialist over this Dr. because I know my Dr.s are lisiened and really did go to med school and not just have a doctorant degree. --- Cathryn Fahey cmfahey@...> wrote: > I'm sitting here watching Oprah and I'm a bit > confused!

They just want their names out there to sell or gain fame. There was a ridiculous news article out there yesterday that said that some doctor in some government role somewhere said that gaining weight is due not from genes, but only from less exercise and more eating, and that's all there was to it. They'll argue their points forever. All we have to understand is that it works for us and that we feel better than before. I personally have not heard of anyone becoming sick or dying from doing the Atkins diet. Has anyone else? It's been around for 20 years!

Guest guest Posted October 12, 1999 Report Share Posted October 12, 1999 Cathy- I also wondered about the Ketosis thing. To be honest that kinda shocked me and made me a little nervous, saying that it's poisioning your body. And they didnt say that that a trace or med. amount is ok, just large is bad.. I would definately like to know more about this!!! I'm going to search online and see what I find., i'll let everyone know! -- Smiles, Mollie Michigan 177/166/135 eat to live, not live to eat!
