    Spots

    Yes, a lot of people get spotty outbreaks as part of the general detoxing of carby rubbish. I certainly did!!! Perhaps you could just eat very healthily until Friday which would also help you slip into ketosis that little bit easier?

    **Desperate need some help as I've put on 1lb**

    I'm with Katie. I have noticed that around two to three weeks in people seem to stall or gain a bit. I'm not sure whether it is because we get a bit complacent and start adding things or because our bodies adapt and stall on certain foods. Get right back to basics, that always seems to help. :)

    on day 9 and need some advice

    This is all perfectly normal and will pass in time. It is just part of ketosis taking over and giving you a clean start. Just eat what you can when you can and drink loads and loads of water to help ketosis clean out the rubbish. :)
  102. Leanne1

    They are called Ketostix. I get the damn things free and still don't use them! :)

    From a Chinese I usually have either a chop suey and pour the sauce away or an egg foo yung. Indian is easier as then I'll have any meat from the Tandoor. :) It really is getting confusing having another Leanne here. Lol. :)
  104. Leanne1

    FAILED already :-(

    That's not a fail, that's just a stumble. Just get back on the wagon, drink loads of water to flush the rubbish through (that really does work) and carry on. :)

    Oh, poor woman. I know the Cambridge diet must work very well for some people but if she is feeling run down and tired then it is not for her. At least with Atkins she can get some food into herself and might feel a bit better. :)

    Hi Linz. I am glad you have the hypo's under control now. Didn't the doc give you any fast acting gel or injectable glucose? Are you carrying stuff with you at all times now? It's a damn nuisance at times isn't it?

    How long did it take you to get into ketosis?

    About day 5 for me. Is something stalling you?

    I think you need to go clean and green for a while. Just your chosen protein and green leafy veg. It will really give your weight loss a boost and will get you back into ketosis. Good luck, keep posting. :)

    Feeling tired and dizzy, is this normal?

    You absolutely should not miss meals, especially if you are exercising! Are you eating enough? Could it just be a virus or something?

    Have you got the number for the hospital diabetic nurse? Could you request that your GP or nurse call you? Make sure that you always have something to treat hypos about your person.
  175. Leanne1

    ¡¡ʎǝuɹnoɾ s,ǝpuolqǝǝzʇıp - same old, same old!

    I think you need to ask for an emergency appointment Linz. I am not surprised you are shattered. Hypos are horrendous and so bloody dangerous!
  176. Leanne1

    Is atkins the answer?

    Well, Atkins certainly works for my diabetes. :)
  177. Leanne1

    ¡¡ʎǝuɹnoɾ s,ǝpuolqǝǝzʇıp - same old, same old!

    I always carry a small carton of orange juice with me. If I get a hypo that sorts me out really quickly. I do think you need to see your doc. This is a really dangerous way to be going on.

    Is atkins the answer?

    Angi, I am also diabetic and Atkins has helped me get really tight control over it. I would recommend this WOE to any diabetic. Which type are you? I am type 1. Do you know we have a diabetic forum on here? Good luck and keep posting. Have a good read of the stickies and our diaries.

  198. Leanne1

    omg...am completely confused now..

    Yes, Jim's sticky is the best read you can have. Camo and Jessie, you both need more fat in those diets and you need to get 15g carb of green leafy veg from your 20g carb daily allowance. You seem to be heading in the right direction though. Good luck.

  201. Leanne1

    What are we eating today?

    Jessie, blood glucose monitors don't work like that. I'm diabetic. I use mine several times a day. You need to do the test 2 hours after eating and even then it may not be accurate for ketosis.
  202. Leanne1

    Half way there!!!

    You are an inspiration! Well done and keep going. :)

    takeaways on atkins

    At the Indian anything from the Tandoor is ok. Just don't go for sauces or rice etc. Chinese I usually go for the chop sueys and drain the sauce off or the egg foo yungs. Kebabs are fine as long as you don't have the pitta bread. :)

    Hi and welcome. You will need to have more fat than you appear to be having. Good butter, olive oil, coconut oil etc. Full fat mayo is good. On induction you need to have no more than 20g carb a day but not much less either. You also need to keep your calories up. You actually do need to eat...

    Ok. It does look as if you aren't eating enough. Also the Atkins bars do stall some people. Set your goals to 5% carbs, 30% protein and 65% fat. That should give you a much more Atkins approach. :)

    ketosis and general help

    Your food diary is still private. You need to go into settings, select Diary Privacy and set it to public from there. A lot of people seem to stall around 2-4 weeks in.

    Good question. The answer is that carbs are turned into sugar within the body. So, the most effective way to stave off/treat diabetes is to lower the carb intake. :)
