Ketosis ...does everyone get this?

[los in it]

I ask because ive seen it mentioned on here a few times and since starting the LSD (day6 ) I don't seem to be "feeling" this at all!
does everyone go thru this or am I doing something wrong ?
I just need to make sure im doing this diet thing right
sorry for been such a worrier

 

[Butterfly_lady]

You wont go into Ketosis with carbs hun, its low carb diets (even if they are high fat/cals) that put folks into ketosis

I am on my lsd too! I am not sure what you should feel with that ketosis happening..

I am sticking to my diet sheet too. I am only having things that are on it and the amounts exact the same too. I am not hungry.. I am not feeling bad.. (I had some dizzy moments during day 4 but like a few sec only couple of times during that day..). I get a bit shaky and weak feeling if i dont eat too long (like blood sugar going too low as i am diabetic so thats what that feeling reminds me of). But if i eat my regular 3 meals i am fine.

I am worried my liver is not shrinking.. But i am following the diet sheet to a letter!!!

I wonder if my water intake helps with feeling ok? I am having around 3.5l a day..

My diet sheet lets me have 50g of carbs( from the list on the sheet which can be rice, pasta, potato, swed, slice of bread ect..) with lunch and 50g of carbs (the same list as before) for dinner. Also i can have 2 portions of fruit a day, and a pot of low fat low sugar yogurt. And for breakfast its non sugary cereal with milk.

So the diet has carbs in it, but thats what the sheet says and i am sticking to it!

No one said for you not to stick to the diet sheet!! I was asked about ketosis which was what I answered! Ketosis isn't needed for the LSD diet, low cal/fat is needed for the LSD!

Im feeling just like that too! Im eating regular and following the guide feel a little "spacey" but only last seconds and have had nothing thats not on the sheet
glad to hear that I wont get ketosis due to the carbs so one less thing to worry about !
I can only pray that my liver is getting smaller
thanks guys for the speedy responses it means so much to have you all supporting me I hope I can do the same for you all

My pre op diet sheet was low carb. But not low enough to keep me in ketosis. For me to be in full blown ketosis I need to stick to between 20 and 30 carbs a day. If I go beyond this the hunger pangs come back. Ketosis is the best way for me to loss the weight but I have never been able to stick to it for more than a few weeks at a time due to my life style of socialising at the weekends

20 to 30 carbs really only allows for, along with protein and dairy, green salad veg, a few cherry tomatoes, broccoli cauliflower, a handful of strawberries and a handful of nuts a day, celery, cucumber eat.

If you wanted to learn to to get into ketosis at any point you could do worse than look at the Atkins diet phase 1

This is how I am hoping to loss my weight once I get back I to solid foods.

Oh sorry if i upset you Butterfly_lady I wasnt suggesting you said not to follow the diet. Maybe just put in a wrong words or order.

I was under impression that ketosis is a must to shrink the liver! Stupid me..

But you put me at ease now saying that you dont have to go into ketosis on lsd. Thank you! As my head was going crazy worrying why i dont feel all those symptoms people describe they go through.

Sorry again if i upset you.

 

[Butterfly_lady]

:thankyou:

So long as you follow your providers instructions your liver will shrink, I remember licking my fingers after doing o/h packed lunch and going into panic mode :8855:

I was so paranoid when my op got postponed until the next day the surgeon was so sorry and said as I'd not eaten all day I should get room service to bring me a chicken baguette salad and chips!! I was so scared that when room service asked me what I'd like to eat I asked for a muller lite yogurt

I would probably do similar thinking it was just a test to check if i am ready for surgery

I am really scared of going to the hospital and waking up to be told the procedure was not done.. For various reasons and one being my liver not shrinking enough.. I keep reading the diet sheet few times a day just to make sure i remember my allowance correctly

I too thought that ketosis was part of the LSD so we are thickos together!
like you I was driving myself nuts over it ...its such a weight(no pun!) off my shoulders like you im reading the diet sheet more than the daily papers !
thanks again everyone

My LRD was four pints of milk a day - so there was no need to worry about 'not doing it right' lol. No ketosis involved as far as I am aware. On a channel four programme the other night about diet food they showed a normal liver and one that had too much sugar alcohol. The second was enormous and the normal one was much bigger than I expected. No wonder the surgeons need us to reduce them x

 

[Jacwat]

Is that all you have 4 pints of milk a day! Have I got this to look forward to? ha ha x

 

[NorthamptonGirl]

Yeah mine was three pints of milk and up to 3 low fat yoghurts... how i don't miss it!! x

 

[los in it]

I saw that ! that liver was the size of a sliver platter !I keep putting both hands under my right breast and saying to myself "shrink liver,shrink!"

 

[Butterfly_lady]

My LSD was 3 pints of milk 4 muller lite yogurts 1 sachet of sugar free jelly and 2 oxo cubes glad it was only for 13 days lol
