Well I am back at it

Davidtxs · 09-23-2009, 08:50 PM

After losing alot down to 320 I gained it all back I am at 364 now with health issues, my cardiologist told me that if I dont get it off I wont see 60. So its TIME to get serious again well I have said that before but there is too much on the line now so with some help from genaw.com and my george foreman lol I am giving it a shot. I love some of the stories on here maybe I can be one soon.
I am starting with Induction so the next two weeks will be tuff.
Thanks and look forward to posting some positive results.

Welcome! remember it only takes 3-4 days to get in ketosis and then the hunger suppression and energy kick in. No worries!

its beginning to kick in I have had lots of energy the last two days considering I came home from work Friday and bp was 60/50

Teresa123 · 09-25-2009, 08:48 PM

and glad you are feeling the energy already!

As far as the sf life savers, I think you'll just have to watch it and see. If they cause you hunger or cravings, you'll want to ditch them. Unless you are eating a lot of them they probably won't slow your weight loss down. As far as how to 'calculate' sugar alchohols....well, it depends on which ones and how your body responds. A lot of people just calculate half---so if one serving has 10 carbs from sugar alcohols, you are probably pretty safe to count that serving as 5 carbs. HTH
