| I know that carb addiction thing all to well, have spent since January 1st trying to keep those pesky carbs at bay, well I am a week at 20 carbs or less....it is getting easier everyday....I guess a slow start is better then no start. |

| skinny I am hanging in there.. had a week and a half of eating too much of everything, trying to refocus, refocus, refocus.... I almost blew it all away, but am keeping on track... working the plan one meal at a time, not guilting too much, but learning why I ate that .... instead of being satisfied with lc food.... keep on keeping on.... c

| not a darned thing wrong with a slow start! the only start that won't help is one you don't do. Quote:

| I'm glad to hear your not letting a few times eating off plandetour all you've accomplished so far. I know how hard it is to get back on track. You are my inspiration, your doing so well. I haven't been to see the doctor but my lab results are in, my cholesterol is lower!!! Hooray!! dance2It was 183, down from 206, even my tryglycerides are down at a 92. However I do need to raise my HDL so I need to exercise more and of course lose weight, imagine that? Thanks Goddess for your feedback, it's appreciated. I've been back on plan for 4 days now and the Ketostix are starting to show low levels of Ketones again, whew.

| I like the idea of a miracle pill......if you believe the FDA, it's Alli, and I wouldn't touch that with a 100 foot pole! I'm finding it frustrating to be cheat-free and still not lose, just sit at the same weight for weeks on end. That's when it would be nice to wake up skinny, just melt during the night. However, it begs the question, where does all that fat go overnight, if you DID wake up skinny?! LOL!

| HELP!! I was recently prescribed the generic medicine for Glucophage called Metformin-500mg. I told him I was eating low carb and he said that was good as my cholesterol went down. However, when I got home I was reading all the fine print and it said do not take this medication if you have "high blood ketone or acid levels (such as ketoacidosis). I know ketosis and diabetic acidosis are not the same but is it close enough to cause me problems using this medicine? I'm not diabetic, this was prescribed to me to treat Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and I'm to monitor my sugar as the medicine may cause my blood to drop too low. I need help with this please????

| Tiffany, here's a site that might help: Metformin Information from Drugs.com It doesn't sound as though you have any of those problems, you don't have kidney disease, or congestive heart failure (I hope!), so you probably won't have issues with metformin. Let us know how it works for your PCOS.

| Thank you, I'll look it up right now. I'm just concerned that my blood sugar may become too low as I 'm not eating any sugar and mostly staying around 20 carbs a day.

| tiffany- as long as you're consulting with your doc and he knows you're low carbing, then i wouldn't be concerned. i do think it's a great idea to be reading the fine print, of course! i found this brief post that explained it very nicely - Ketone Question and a little more clarification here - Ketone Question you might do a search on the forums here for p.o.s. as well. i seem to recall lots of lc'ers saying that low carbing was helpful for them in dealing with that paticular conditon.
