hi. i'm pretty new on the board. i was just curious, is there anything that will help me get into ketosis faster? what about glucophage? will it help in losing weight on a low carb diet or is it just used to bulk up with a high carb diet? any info will be appreciated. i've checked the boards, but so far no one has talked about using it for losing weight, that's why i asked. thanks.

did you read the article on here about using insulin to get into ketosis in a few hours? I'll post the link if you don't have it.

No I didn't see the article. Would you pls send me the link? I don't think Glucophage works the same as insulin, atleast its not that strong. I don't want to use insulin and take a risk, Glucophage I wouldn't mind trying.

Not familiar with glucophage .. I know it lowers blood sugar, but I don't know if it will put you in ketosis faster than just avoiding carbs.

Glucophage(Metformin HCL) will increase
glucose clearance by 10-40%, therefore
getting you into Ketosis in about 48 hours.
Dosage: 1700mg-2550mg daily

You could also try Lipoic acid, which
increases glucose clearance by 50%.
therefore getting you into ketosis in 36 hours.
Dosage: 600mg/daily

Godspeed

Thanks for the info. I got myself 850mg tablets, so I'll be taking 2 a day. Should I take them together? I start my Atkins Diet tomorrow.

No, just take one in the morning with breakfast and one
with your evening meal.
Hope that helps.....and good luck on your diet.

Godspeed
