Hi guys,
well I've only been doing the diet a week, but what a week it has been! I've lost 10 pounds which is great, esp as I have pcos, but my tummy has been v acidy. Many kind people have commented on another thread that this can happen in the first few weeks, but also that this can be disrupting stomach lining/causing an ulcer.
The truth is I have been diagnosed with IBS before and suffered with stomach acidity occasionally. After eating some chicken two days ago it went away, but it is back today. What I would like to know, and daren't ask my CDC, is whether eating some chicken every day or every other day will knock me out of ketosis? I've done some research on the web and it says people on the atkins diet have unlimited meats but enter ketosis because of limited carbs - so technically if it's type of food, not calories, then it should be ok?
I would really love some clarification on this as this really is my last chance to lose weight in order to have children. Any advice greatfully received, and sorry to be a pain, but I'm scared I suppose.
