Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 I think you answered your own question. Why worry about it when you've lost 20 lbs in 30 days. Keep up the super work. Lyssa Group Opinion Please I have lost 20 lbs in 30 days. I have NEVER gone into Ketosis.....not even a speck of purple on that old dip stick! The general opinion in the past is that it is " good " to stay out of ketosis as there is no extra strain on my kidneys.....I have NO cravings at all and am not cranky in the least. I do take Premerin .9 daily (have for 7 years as I had a surgical hysteo) and STILL am losing weight. Thoughts...comments, etc. If it is good to be in Ketosis, is there a way for me to get there without fasting completely (just a joke). I drink tons of water and eat about 20-25 carbs each day.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 The sticks seldom turn for me and I have lost 25 lbs. You might have a " bad batch " of sticks. One way other the other....I doesn't matter. You are doing everything right.....and it's working. Way To Go !!!

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 Karyl - If you are losing, don't change anything. Why mess up a good thing? Susie __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 Karyl - as other's have said - some people don't even register in ketosis. Part of this could be due to the amount of water you're drinking - and that is great. Don't worry at all about the ketosis factor of this - you are doing wonderfully and you are losing. So keep on doing what you are doing because it is working!! Take Care G. 230/218/130 Sept. 13/00 You can't change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sails.

I do Karyl, Dietary ketosis is NOT hard on the kidneys; high protein is hard on the kidneys of someone with kidney problems. But, if you have been losing weight and have not been changing the color on the sticks, then don't worry about it. Your obviously doing it right and are very successful! Congratulations!

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2000 Report Share Posted October 16, 2000 Karyl, you are not alone. In my household my hubby, daughter and I all went lc at the same time. Jerry never turned purple and lost faster and better than either Lise who was in ketosis in the mornings or me who was in ketosis at night. As long as you are losing and feeling good, just keep up with what you are doing. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
