I remember how my first attemp...Beautifully put. <br /><br />I remember how my first attempts at Atkins inevitably crashed and burned as I left induction and started introducing more and more variety, color and carbs back into my diet. I know it's a powerful way of eating and helps out a great many people, but I think I need something more restrictive than all the carbs Atkins allows after induction. <br /><br />> I read somewhere (and i'm convinced it's true) <br />> that as we continue with a controlled-carb lifestyle, <br />> we get more adept at USING the ketones our bodies <br />> produce, and much less energy is spilled down the <br />> toilet. My ketostix have very rarely turned a dark <br />> pink, and even these days when i'm eating a VERY low <br />> carbohydrate diet, they're pretty pale. <br /><br />I heard this too, but last night I decided to try to get to the bottom of it. It turns out that over time, your body stops producing (in the same quantity) the one type of ketone that is actually measured by ketostix. Also, over time your kidneys do indeed stop shunting off ketones into your urine. Phinney and Volek have the best explanation of this process that I've seen, but they are still speculating in regards to the WHY your kidneys downregulate pushing ketones to your urine after you become ketoadapted. <br /><br />I wrote a little more about this on my blog (http://ketopia.com/why-you-need-to-stop-worrying-about-the-color-of-your-ketostix/), if interested. Or if you have The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living, just refer to pages 164-5. :)<br /><br />-MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-10310719411422137582012-09-09T18:51:33.741-05:002012-09-09T18:51:33.741-05:00Nuts, processed meats and cheeses are insulinogeni...Nuts, processed meats and cheeses are insulinogenic, as is some butter.

And you know, the Atkins...I think you're right. And you know, the Atkins diet isn't what it was in 1972. I read the latest book out of morbid curiosity and I thought it was a bit of a joke. Too permissive and politically correct IMO. These modern concepts of eating tons of vegetables, counting so-called net carbs, diet soda and artificial sweeteners and other VLC compliant junk food like the bars, shakes and almond flour lemon squares and all that shit ensure one will never lose all the weight they want. Let's face it, eggs, bacon and beef for every meal is very appetite suppressing and boring / unpalatable. A lot of people don't like that (even though it works) because they want to eat. We have no idea what Jimmy Moore ate before the ketone meter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14107632038306560194noreply@blogger.com
