You could try metformin (glucophage) or alpha lipoic acid. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Exercise is a good way to drive yourself into ketosis. The night before ketosis have a good lift. The next day do some cardio (if you are off cycle, otherwise avoid cardio). Someone once gave a rationale for not doing exercise to speed ketosis. I was unconvinced. Peace! ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Just Curius guys...how and why does alpha lipoic acid help with a low carb/keto diet? THANKS ------------------ "It's like mind over matter. If you don't mind...

Alpha lipoic acid drives glucose (and aminos) into cells, mimicking the action of insulin. Once excess glucose is out of the bloodstream, ketosis sets in. Peace! ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
