Ketosis...

[kurious_oranj]

A quick ketosis question -
Does ketosis definitely stop hunger pangs? I ask because I am on SS and am in ketosis (the wee stick says so) but I still get quite bad pangs of hunger, though not so bad as on days 1 and 2. Does this go away completely, or will I still get very hungry as I continue with SS?
Thanks,
k_o

I have been told that the coldness is due to the sugar change over process

Im a bit worried, i looked up ketosis on the net and came up withthis on the nhs direct site, all very worrying, ketosis, is quite a serious state to be in.

Severe ketosis is a problem, or the ketosis that you get when you're diabetic and not managing your sugar levels properly...the mild ketosis that you are in on CD is not a problem.

I've just restarted Cambridge to lose some baby weight that accumulated whilst I was pregnant and not allowed to do anything low carb! I started on Tuesday and was showing a deep pink ketosis when I tested before bed last night. I dont feel cold yet but want to - I'm boiling all the time (might still have some pregnancy hormones floating around I guess, or maybe its general fatness!!!). So dying to be a bit cooler.

One thing I did notice when I did Lighterlife was that I would be particularly cold after drinking a lot of water - if I did a litre or so in a short time. I think the water does cool you down as much as ketosis itself. So to remedy that try and take small sips little and often rather than necking a litre 4 times a day! Others may not find this of course but I did.

What a great diet heh? I did a weigh in after 2 days and I'd already lost 6 pounds.

How's about using the milk you've bin told to have in your shake insted of making it with just water, it might be a little more pleasant tasting for you then.
Gota be worth a try.

I am on my 3rd day and am in ketosis.. so


AM BURNING FAT>>>WHOOOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

I feel great, not tired, don't feel hungry either... will not get complacent though... will just keep adding on this site to make sure I get support from you all..

Good luck to anyone who is struggling.. or to all who find it ok...

hiya, my Ketosis reading is TRACE 0.05 is this what it should be?? It was actually a toss up between the negative reading and the TRACE, I honestly think it was closer to the TRACE. I'm just into day 3. I have done CD COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY, drank the water and had 3 shakes a day, nothing else. I felt like HELL for most of yesterday and although I still have a fuzzy head and a bit of a headache, and... maybe a little sickly feeling too, I feel a lot better than yesterday. Could I be in ketosis? oh, TOTM for me too.

Does EVERYONE get the feeling of wellbeing when they are in Ketosis?? If I'm in ketosis at the moment I don't feel that great, maybe I won't get that get up and go feeling

Im coming to the end of day 3 and similarly mine showed nothing really to note. Is there anyone who can advise on this. I am starving today altho days 1 and 2 were fine.

Im also interested to know how days 4 5 6 7 will be. I have struggled today but stuck to it and drank all my water and some!

Thanks

hi all,
ive also posted this as a main thread. could really use some advice.
i have been doing lipotrim for the last 3 weeks and was in the mid range ketosis (reading of between 4-6) and was feeling no hunger at all.
i switched to CD yesterday and felt great all day but on waking this morning i was starving and have been all day. tummy is rumbling very loudly (so loud the kids keep frowning at me) and ive checked and im only at trace reading of ketones (0.5 bottom reading next to negative):cry:
what happened, why did my ketones abandon me? ive completely stuck to shakes and i drink plenty of water.
at this rate im going to end up eating (especially after 3 weeks of nice ketosis state) :sigh:

Any help would be great

hiya, i am heading to day three tomorrow and felt very down on day one, a little better today but still hungry:sigh:, it can only get better i think as each day passes, why dont you do what i have done and order some ketostix or purchase them from the chemist that way you can do a test to see how far into ketosis you are

hang in there hun, its difficult trying to adjust isnt it, but the end result will be sooo worth it,

take care
