lets see, iv been in ketosis since wed and it is now saturday. i wanted to stay in ketosis for 12 days and not 5 but even with the thyroxine, which im going to take a break from because my thyroid is becomming slugish, i feel cold. i think my metabolism is quite low. im going to try a 24 hr carb up to boost my thyroid up a little then use insulin on sun night to get into ketosis again. what are your opinions???

You are most likely right about your thyroid. take your temp in the morning and see what it is. if its lower than 98 or so , you need to eat more for a little while. a 2 day carb up is not long enough to upregulate your thyroid. I asked duchaine this question and he told me to eat maintainance level cals for a full two weeks to bring the thyroid back up. he said you can diet effectivly for about 5 weeks, then take a 2 week break eating maintainance level cals then back to diet again. this will ensure you dont have weight loss stoppage. You could try the 2 day thing, but the way i see it.. if it takes up to 4 weeks to lower it its not gonna come back in 2 days. if you try it, let us know what happens! peace IP: Logged |
