I Started Low-Cabing Today



Recommended Posts

I'm ready to restrict carbs, as I sleep so much better when I do and also I want to lose a little faster and not rely so much on the cc in my band. Today, just for the heck of it I used a ketostix I had from my last Atkins fail (my fault, not the diet) and I was FLOORED when the stick showed moderate KETOSIS!!!! I wasn't expecting that, since just yesterday I had a 1/3 of a chicken roll for an early dinner. I guess because of the caloric restriction in general, the body uses fat as a primary source of fuel. Soooooo, I'm actually/not-really already on "day 4" of Atkins, according to the stick. WONDERFUL!!

How many carbs are you planning to incorporate? It should be at least 20gm. Diets with little to no carbs are too harsh on the liver and maybe even the kidneys

Those things are EVIL!! My last kidney stone bout was about 5 years ago. I loveeeeee my doctor because when I had lithotripsy done I peed all of them out that same night. Now it's my hubby's turn next week, but it's so much worse for him because they usually inset a ureteral stent and that is almost as bad as the stones themselves

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
