Hi
I'm on day 4 of cd and have read lots of people saying about ketosis. I have never tried a vlcd before and had never heard of this. From what I've read it's a good thing. I read about ketostix which indicate ketones in urine, so decided to get some.
Went to boots this morning and bought them, and have been reading the instructions etc. Now I've worried myself as it says too many ketones can bring on something called ketoacidosis, which can lead to a coma
I know I'm probably just being silly, but can someone explain the benefits of ketosis.
I'm too scared to try one now
Does anyone know what would be too high a level of ketones?
Many thanks
Tracey
