hi!
I'm on day 5, in ketosis, and feeling a little grumpy, so I started googling things.
In November, long before CD, I had a blood test and the results came back as borderline. I never had to see a doctor, so I assumed it couldn't be *that* serious, could it? I haven't given it much thought until today!
I'll be honest, it was because of excessive drinking and obviously I'm overweight, so I just assumed that CD -getting good nutrition- and not drinking at all would only help the situation.
but now I've been googling and there are all kinds of posts on ketosis straining the liver and kidneys, and heightening liver enzymes, which is the thing that I tested very high for in the first instance.
but there are also a lot of 'scare-mongering' articles about VLCD's being the devil, so it's a very convoulted area to research. I don't know what to believe.
who is telling the truth?
I'm just posting to see if anyone else knows any more on the subject than me? my doctors have been ZERO help, like I say, after the test, it was the receptionist who gave me the results!
I desperately want to lose weight, but I don't want to damage myself in the process! am I at risk? any advice would be a HUGE help!
