EscortNreg Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 in the long term its gonna add up to quite a bit, but A) as said, its only about the same as i already spend out and B) its going to be doing good for me!Stupid us for trying to persuade you off it, we all forgot that starving yourself is good for you Rock, hardplace? The advice is all taken on board m8 and i will be having a good chat to the doctor about it. Its all designed to put you in a state of ketosis More info on ketosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 So you are KNOWINGLY putting yourself in a state of Ketosis? AND you know what Ketosis actually is? I actualyl don't know what to say apart from ok do it, obviously nothing us can say will persuade you otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actualyl don't know what to say apart from ok do it, obviously nothing us can say will persuade you otherwise. Thats why i want to talk to the doctor about it. Can you explain to me what Ketosis is? Is it the same thing you get when you go on the atkins diet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) Pretty much yea, it's when you starv yourself so much that your body has ran out of glucose (energy) so it takes it from the next available source... which is fat (then muscle then BONE!), but it can't fully convert fat which leaves you with a lot of fatty acid (ketones) deposited all around your body/circulatory system, in your liver and kidneys for example....VERY DANGEROUS. P.S. No point in going to your doctor, he will only say no, and if he advises it and lets you go on it... you really want to seek a new doctor.

LiamGTR Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) Also if you mentioned diabetes, research Ketoacidosis (Ketosis for people with diabetes/or risk of...) Much more serious case...

So basically the effects of high collestorol?Similar, although high col doesn't affect the PH (acidicty) of your blood, more just cloging your circulatory system/blood to the heart Edited April 11, 2010 by LiamGTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamGTR Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 >>>> Some medical resources regard ketosis as a physiological state associated with chronic starvation.That's basically what that diet is all about, starving yourself of atleast 1400kcals a day (by only having ~600kcals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Skellington Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Why not just consider what I said dude? It's much safer. Again - Eat 3 yogurts a day, if you need a snack then have a portion of fruit. Only drink water & energy drinks (energy drinks are vital - Red Bull, Relentless, Red Rooster etc not Lucozade) and make sure you exercise for 30 minutes a day minimum, even if it's just walking. After a month of that I guarantee you'll have lost at least a stone, quite possibly nearer to 1.5 stone. I guess it'd be classed as a crash diet, but at least your body is still getting food, and healthy food too. The energy drinks are used to speed up your metabolic rate and obviously if your body isn't used to being without sugar you'll be tired more so the energy drinks also replace that for you and keep you awake.

duffa Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 you've already said your diabetic... i've been having a google about on this diet seems it stops all glucose and sugar intake... so wont this effect your diabetes ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i'm going to guess that the yogurts will have the sugar in them he needs, i've never seen a yogurt without added sugar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it what you will, but it works and doesn't effect your state of mind nor does it make you feel weak. Doesn't me anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
