Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / February 2005Hit the 25lb mark!
Yay! 25lbs gone since I originally started in December (I did induction for 2 weeks, went off over the holidays [because I'm dumb] and then restarted induction on Jan 4th. Kind of a nice feeling to hit that mark, though I'm setting 10% mini-goals for myself. 3 more lbs and I'll have lost 10% of my body weight! Then my next goal will be 26lbs for 10% of my weight (rounded up!). I'll keep doing that till I reach goal, it's nice to have mini-goals to keep you going =) ----- 285.5/260.5/120 monthly-goal: 5 > Yay! 25lbs gone since I originally started in December (I did > induction for 2 weeks, went off over the holidays [because I'm dumb] [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > ----- > 285.5/260.5/120 monthly-goal: 5 wow your doing great!!! congrats Angie > Yay! 25lbs gone since I originally started in December (I did > induction for 2 weeks, went off over the holidays [because I'm dumb] [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > I'll keep doing that till I reach goal, it's nice to have mini-goals > to keep you going =) Great job, Amanda!

Going from a low-carb diet to a sudden sugar load was probably your problem. When I went off LC last Dec 1st I had no symptoms at all, but I'm not diabetic. SignatureWysong Age 60. Height 5'6" Starting date: 1/8/05 171/ 165 / 140 lb Starting date LC 7/01 at 207lbs Stopped losing on LC 11/01 at 165lbs ========================================== Crap - I forgot to get my official stamp of approval and sign the little document promising only to have thoughts that conform to the official ASDLC guidelines. I hate it when that happens. (credit Sophie) ~~<~~<~~{@ ~~<~~<~~{@ ~~<~~<~~{@ no im not diabetic, i just tell folks at restaurants i am so they dont mess my food up when i ask for no sugar/salt/spices etc and they dont get the passively threatened lawsuit. i think the hyperinsulinism doctor atkins describes in the book is exactly what i have. when i did a fasting glucose test, it was normal, around 90. when i came back after eating a normal meal, it was 290! i have the highside of diabetes, but not the low side.

Bad news, you probably are diabetic. Two random glucose tests, (like after a carby meal) 200 or higher is the definition of diabetes. The high side is the only one that counts to get the dx. Have you had an A1c or an OGTT? Often, in women. there is already damage from high BGs by the time the fasting number starts to rise. If anything you eat makes you go to 290 you have probably already lost at least some of your first phase insulin response. But, since you are low carbing, the OGTT is probably the only test that will show it. http://www.geocities.com/lottadata4u/deterioration.htm http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/Newly%20Diagnosed.htm SignatureNo Husband Has Ever Been Shot While Doing The Dishes thanks thats good advice. while im bummed about being misinformed maybe i can do something positive to correct it......;/ Signature_____________________________ This be Tia's SIG!!!

I would wake up extremely hung over, suffering a migraine, weak, nauseous. Also, I wouldn't have gotten any sleep the night before because I could feel my heart banging in my ears, loud enough I would swear my husband could hear. A couple bouts of that made me really realize that forays into sugar just wasn't worth it. Keeps me in check. I don't think so much an "Atkins" thing, it's a sugar thing.

Honestly, no. I had like turkey dinner and booze mostly ;p Starches mostly - I probably had the odd cookie or something but nothing near what I would have usually eaten ;) I only gained 3lbs from going off it like Christmas day and restarting Jan 4 ----- 285.5/260.5/120 monthly-goal: 5 Congratulations on 25 pounds Amanda!!
