A lot of people are still reading, don't worry. Keep at it, and know that if you mess up now all that time getting here will be wasted.



^^ That'll keep you from cheating

I just said that because it was a long post

Thanks for your encouragement man! It really means a lot to me!

Your right too, there's no way i'm going to cheat on the diet after all this. I'm not missing my carbs anyway... who needs em'

may I ask what the "pee test" is? I'm not up to date on ketosis, only know the basics. Is there a way to tell from your pee that you're in ketosis? Does it involve smelling or tasting it?

Hey Karky what's up man?

There are things called "ketostix" that you can buy in any pharmacy. You dip the strip in a urine sample and then there is a color chart that shows if you are in ketosis and how strong of a trace there is. They have them for people in diabetes to know if there are ketones in their bloodstream. I am not really sure why they need to know that (never looked it up because i'm not a diabetic and therefore don't really care).

First of all: that sounds awfully familiar, are you sure that's not a pregnancy test? Is there something you're not telling us?

I guess because they can't handle sugar, so if they have K in their urine, it means they're not using sugar as fuel. I'm not sure though

I'm fine man. How are you holding up? When will we get to see some progress pics again?

So you dont drink it, not even out of curiosity? Do you feel like you are progressing?

Heh, I didn't even think about the similarities of a pregnancy test..

I'm doing great! I can't wait to get the next set of progress pics up. I am very happy with the results. Since you asked I will put them up a day early... i'll upload them soon.

You lost me..heh.

You managed to lose 6 lbs in 1 week? Hope none of that was muscle, seems like alot.

....water. For every gram of carbohydrate you have 4 grams of water, lose the carbs lose the water.

Whenever I switch from a bulk to a cut or a cut to a bulk I usually gain or lose 4 pounds in just a couple of days. Mostly water weight and food weight. I am looking forward to my body fat test in a week to see how much bodyfat I lost!

I see. How are you getting your body fat measured and who is doing the measuring? Nonetheless you look a bit leaner in your last pic, good job.
