i'll probably pick up a bathroom scale and some keto strips at rite-aid this afternoon. Krisguy does know what he's talking about, he's a diabetic and has been explaining some of the finer points of metabolism to me in #sporks for the last couple weeks.
as for caffeine overdose, LD50 for caffeine is something like 12 grams orally. you'd be drinking 300 some odd cans of mountain dew in a rather short amount of time to reach that, and your bladder would rach out and strangle you long before that happened.
and as for energy, i'm thiking Dr. Atkins should have a 5th stage of his dietary plan. pre-Induction. i would say that anyone considering a low carb diet eat what they normally eat but take serious notice at the carbs, refined sugars, pure starches, etc. that they're consuming. you don't have to eat the hamburger without the bun, but skip the fries and get a diet soda or water. i've been doing somethign like that for the last month or so and while it's making me a bit sleepier overall, i have a feeling it'll take a bit of the shock of the first 2-4 days of induction away. if nothing else it's less nutritionally devoid calories going into your system.
for lunch today i had a big plate of salad (probably more than the 3 cups of greens i'll have to stick to in the future) with half an egg's worth of hardboiled egg, some ham, cheese, mushrooms and tomatoes, a sprinking of bacon bits and sunflower seeds, and oil n vinegar dressing. definitely feel less weighed down from that than a big sandwich or burger (with bread/bun).
thanks for the support. i have monday off of work so i'll probably start Atkins friday night and hope the energy kicks in tuesday morning. |
