I've been looking for them where did you find them and how much????

[keekahari 0]

I got them at CVS for 13 bucks for a 50 pack, which is kinda expensive. I saw somewhere online that they had them for like 8 bucks for a 100 pack. I will try to find the website again.

You have to ask for them at the pharmacy desk.

Just wanted to share this with you all. So be careful!!!

Ketosis is a process in which your body converts fats into energy. During the conversion, ketones are produced as a by-product. Ketones can give your breath a sweet, fruity smell that may be mistaken for alcohol.

Your body normally uses glucose to meet its energy needs. Glucose comes from the carbohydrate in your diet. A healthy, balanced diet should provide you with all the glucose your body needs, so that ketosis does not take place. However, if your body does not have enough glucose, perhaps because your diet is very low in carbohydrates or you are starving yourself, it will begin ketosis to obtain energy from its stored fats instead. As a result of this, the ketone levels in your blood will rise. Prolonged ketosis can be dangerous as it can change the acidity of your blood beyond the level that your body can tolerate. This can eventually lead to serious damage to your liver and kidneys.

Recently, diets that recommend you eat lots of Protein and very little carbohydrate have become popular. These high protein-low carbohydrate diets – known as ketogenic diets – are intended to work by forcing your body to begin ketosis to burn fats and create quick weight loss. Because long periods of ketosis are dangerous to your kidneys and liver, ketogenic diets are never recommended by health professionals for more than short-term use, typically no longer than 14 days. Many nutritionists warn their patients – especially women in the early stages of pregnancy – against following them at all.

Thanks for the info Tanya. I usually do a week and I am no longer in ketosis.

[Teresita 0]

That was good info. Tanya but it is just so tempting to stay with the high Protein because you do see that quick loss. Just knowing that the long term damage to other organs isn't worth it. A week at a time sounds like a good idea Sasha, keep up the good work.
