Actually, Dr. Atkins wrote about low carb diets foiling oral glucose tolerance tests in DANDR (And I am a low carb book junkie, so I took note!!) I talked to my MD about it, and she wants me to do the test while maintaining my current diet. I am going to do the test next Friday, because the lab I go to is booked up solid for the next 3 Saturdays in a row. In the meanwhile, I found some good tips for lowering my fasting glucose levels, and I am going to work on that this week. I will definitely check out the protein power website. Thanks for that tip.<br />KateKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842219743861451533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101736009300812587.post-51476899364928539072011-04-15T18:40:35.038-04:002011-04-15T18:40:35.038-04:00Rule number 1, like it says in Hitchhikers Guide t...Rule number 1, like it says in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: DON"T PANIC. They're just numbers. You're already doing something to work on it, (and doing amazingly well by the way. I can't tell you how many people I've watched exercise day in and day out for years to get results like you have and haven't even come close!) It just gives you more ammo like you said. <br /><br />Also, I'm gonna try and find where I read it, but one of the many blogs that I've been reading said that those glucose tests don't work so well with low carb diets. Why, I don't know. I'll send you the link as soon as I hunt it down.<br /><br />And good luck on your egg fast! I just read about that yesterday, though I don't think I'd ever try it since eggs are one of my least favorite things. Ooh! And if you think it would help, there's a protein power forum for beginners and old hats alike. www.proteinpower.com They've already helped me with a few things. Maybe they would know more about the blood glucose test?Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385024270992453736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101736009300812587.post-37287086049669405552011-04-15T18:07:39.708-04:002011-04-15T18:07:39.708-04:00Kate, earlier this week I was telling a friend of ...Kate, earlier this week I was telling a friend of mine just about the same thing! Even though I've only lost 14 lbs (and most people haven't even noticed) I want to strut around in my bathing suit(did I mention I work as a lifeguard and so I live in one? even though I wear a uniform shirt and until a week or so ago, long pants over top. Now I have an athletic skirt that I wear.) even though I know I don't look as good as I feel. But it is a small and glorious victory nonetheless. So far I've resisted the urge to strut around in my bathing suit, but I have a bad feeling that day is coming. =) So savor the small victories and wear all the skirts you want! Way to go.Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385024270992453736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101736009300812587.post-86702367177095836182011-04-15T08:05:50.631-04:002011-04-15T08:05:50.631-04:00Thanks!

I weighed and measured myself today so that I could do the body mass calculations in Dr. Eades' Protein Power book, so I am happy to report that I weighed 212 today, which is great!! I'm going to do this weeks weigh in and measurements on Saturday AND Sunday, because I have a glucose tolerance test on Saturday morning, and I want to see how that affects my weight and girth. I've heard that it can cause you to put on water, and can make it hard to get back in to ketosis. That makes me a little nervous, but you've got to do what's right for your health, even if it sets your diet back a little bit ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the support, L!! Have an awesome weekend!!<br /><br />KateKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842219743861451533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101736009300812587.post-6978347475152221062011-04-14T19:46:45.556-04:002011-04-14T19:46:45.556-04:00Hey there, my name's Bethany and I've post...Hey there, my name's Bethany and I've posted on your blog once before. I started Protein Power 5 weeks ago and have had great success and I've watched my dad and brother use it time and time again and do really well to. The science that the Drs. Eades bring to the table was what finally won me over to PP as a way to lose weight. <br /><br />Anywho, I wanted to let you know that your blog is the one I found in the first few weeks of the diet when I was looking for what real people (as opposed to what was told to be expected in the book) experience on the induction phase of a low carb WOE. You've been really inspirational and down to earth and, to make things even better, express yourself really well. Keep up the hard work and let me know how Protein Power treats you!Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385024270992453736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101736009300812587.post-53857638002290624122011-04-14T14:28:51.683-04:002011-04-14T14:28:51.683-04:00It looks good and your net delta looks even better...It looks good and your net delta looks even better :)Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398098564051176583noreply@blogger.com
