Hey Spot,

Did you watch the DVD?

Ketosis happens around day 3-7 depending on the person, their weight and previous diet. Its when you start feeling less hungry and your body starts using its stored fat for fuel rather than daily intake. You dont need to use ketostix to determine this as there will clinical features..... you will feel (hopefully) less hungry, your breath will taste slightly metallic, your tongue might feel furry, and some people report an energy burst. These might be just a few symptoms.

some people also get a kind of yellow coating on their tongue

Personnally I think the ketostix are usually wrong and unreliable and would not waste my money on them!

You will know when you start to not physically feel hungry any more.. A bad taste in your mouth and probably bad bread

I have mouldy bread.....does it count as bad bread.....

 

[spottitchsam]

Hi
Your chemist should not have let you have the shakes if you haven't watched the DVD, did they ask you to? Did you fill and sign a health check form?

A bad taste in your mouth and probably bad bread

LMAO Bad bread?? You feeling hungry lady??

stinkybreath
no dvd was menstioned,i filled in the forms on the friday but they would not let me have any shakes until they had spoken to my gp on the monday.

 

[Stinkybreath]

Hmm ok i didn't go through my GP so maybe you don't get the dvd if you do. I think it's bad that they didn't offer you it as it's very informative about what you are going to go through with LT. Maybe ask them when you go for your wi.

hahaha whoops!!! llol

 

[Theresa6]

I would agree with Stinky! The dvd has loads of info that supports you and explains some of the 'side effects' of LT... its well worth a view! Last time I saw it I copied it so I could reference it back!

 

[spottitchsam]

[Stinkybreath]

No you can't buy it, they will lend it out to you.
