Common Questions and Answers about Slim fast ketosis

Avatar f tn A low carb diet causes the body to go into Ketosis whereby the body uses its fat as a source of energy. Also when you are in ketosis your body feels less hungry. This all sounds good except that this can also lead to kidney issues (even failure), osteoporosis, and kidney stones. Stay balanced and control your calories and you'll lose weight and avoid the side effects. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Is it ok to drink slim fast while pregnant? I have gained too much weight so far. I started out tiny and now my mid section is huge! I'm not looking to lose weight but eating hurts. My lower back is in excruciating pain and I know it's from the weight gain and due to my belly sticking so far out. I'm only 25 weeks pregnant and I feel the only option is to eat tiny meals to keep up my energy because after I eat my stomach feels so tight b it just hurts.
Avatar f tn Has anyone had any luck on the Slim-Fast diet? I just started it, I need to lose around 30lbs.
Avatar f tn hi has any one done the slim fast diet----(milkshakes) and lost weight.How lond could u go on for? I'm planning to go on it but will do only one shake for dinner and have breakfast and lunch as normal.
Avatar n tn This is called ketosis. They happen overnight in most people (due to the extended fast) in small amounts. They also occur during weight loss. They also are seen in people eating a low carb diet where fat rather than carbohydrates are being used for energy. They are not dangerous in the presence of normal blood sugar levels. Ketoacidosis is a very dangerous condition that can happen in persons with diabetes.
Avatar f tn Welcome to the community. Try walking at a reasonable pace. Also look into yoga as it's low impact and done at a slow very deliberate pace. Be sure to watch what you eat as well - might also help the e-coli infection.
Avatar n tn This may be ketosis or in your case post exercise ketosis. You smell like acetone in a ketosis state . This is as close as i can find to nail polish; acetone is an ingredient in nail polish remover. The reason for ketosis is due to not enough glucose and so the body has to break down stored fat and convert it into energy instead. Metabolizing fat raises blood ketone levels therefore leading to ketosis.
Avatar n tn Dietary Ketosis has nothing to do with BG until your liver runs out of stored glucagon it can continue to raise BG (ie 8 - 10 hour high when fasting) how low are you going on the carbs? you can be in Ketosis with high BG. Ketosis means your body is using ketones for fuel instead of glucose. Diabetesforum(dot)com has many people doing diatery Ketosis.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know how I can purchase the Slim Ball pills DESPERATE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avatar m tn Episodes nearly always occur in the morning after an overnight fast, often one that is longer than usual. Symptoms include those of neuroglycopenia, ketosis, or both. The neuroglycopenic symptoms usually include lethargy and malaise, but may include unresponsiveness or seizures. The principal symptoms of ketosis are anorexia, abdominal discomfort, and nausea, sometimes progressing to vomiting. If severe, parents usually take the child to a local emergency department, where blood is drawn.
873325 tn?1295461896 Your poor little girl. I looked this up and her symptoms do fit the diagnosis. Lack of carbohydrates play a big part. Has she been seen by a pediatric endocrinologist? If not, this would be my next step. Read the article below and hopefully it will help. Ketotic hypoglycemia: the "disease" Ketotic hypoglycemia more commonly refers to a common but mysterious "disease" of recurrent hypoglycemic symptoms with ketosis in young children.
Avatar f tn t eat sufficient carbs then you will start suffering the consequences like more cavities, lack of calcium etc. This is what my doctor told me. I have ketosis by the way.
649848 tn?1534633700 ) Long term effects from an extended time in ketosis. Using fats and protein instead of carbohydrates (ketosis) as far I can tell, is a starvation mode our bodies have to prevent us from starving in times of low/no food. It is not clear how staying in ketosis for an extended period of time will effect a large population where a lot of people. Does the increased protein/fat breakdown cause kidney stones and liver problems?
1767041 tn?1313765451 Interesting post. I'm not sure what you mean by a "water fast". do you mean ony water -no food for the duration of the fast? If I were you I would not attempt any kind of fasting without consulting a doctor first. Personally I think if had the will power to fast for 21 days a year ago you have the will power to embark on a more triditional mode of dieting with a view to sustainable long term weight loss.
655875 tn?1295695107 Slim Fast was getting difficult to stay on track. I found myself cheating on the diet. My friend told me about the protien shake that Dr. Oz uses. There are a few recipes on his website. Right now I am using the Ultimate Breakfast Smoothie. It tastes awesome and it actually keeps me full for over 6 hours. I have zero cravings for food and sweets. I've cut back my dinner portion.
Avatar n tn Say you were about 16, anemic, and borderline diabetic. Would the Ketosis diet do any good in this situation? Please help and give detailed answers please, and if you know anything that would make following the diet easier, I would be much obliged in hearing it.
Avatar f tn aspx Pay careful attention to your breath, your body odor, or urine if any starts to have a fruity sweet smell. This is the beginning of ketosis caused by the body switching from burning carbohydrates to only fat. It is telling you that your carb intake is way too low. Ketosis can be hard on your kidneys so don't eliminate carbs altogether.
Avatar n tn Based on what you have posted,you have submitted your urine after a 16 hour fast (is this correct?).I would like to agree with your physician that this could have led to the ketonuria.Ketonuria given hours of fasting may be insignificant.As shown in your case, the ketonuria was not noted during repeat analysis which may strengthen the previous statement. As for the proteinuria, you may have what they call asymptomatic proteinuria.
1707055 tn?1316144521 First off, there is no healthy way to drop pounds fast. When you lose weight, you want to do it slowly in order to keep the pounds off and have the weight loss last. Second, according to your weight tracker status on your profile, you are already in a healthy weight range, so why are you trying to lose more weight? It's not healthy to go below a certain weight and your body needs many nutrients, especially as a growing teen.
1767041 tn?1313765451 ) I will not be taking in any protein for the first few days after the fast to allow my body to switch back from ketosis. Protein consumption while in ketosis causes a lot of stress on the liver. More on this soon. Be sure to check out my latest video.
Avatar f tn No, I don't think it will affect kidney stones, but.. Slim fast has horrible ingredients, and I would not feed it to my dog. From their website, they list Hydrogenated soybean oil, High Fructose Corn syrup, etc. Soybean oil will make you fat, and so will high fructose corn syrup.Suffice to say, stay away from Slim Fast! Eat whole foods instead. At best, these drinks may cause rapid weight loss, but they are not healthy and usually the weight comes back later.
515251 tn?1254443201 Well very simply, eat less, move more is what I've been told over and over again! Easier said than done, I've never lost my post C-Section weight/jelly belly but I must say that when I did the low GI diet and basically cut down on complex carbs (bread, spuds, rice, pasta etc) the weight seemed to immediately come off my stomach area. This might be just specific to me as that's where I need to lose most of my weight, but maybe it's worth a shot.... Good luck....
Avatar f tn so to me it would seem that you had already missed ovulation and your chances of pregnancy would be slim especially if your taking the emergency contraceptive. Hope this helps.
1968463 tn?1374757813 What I may do, is just make sure to also eat small meals with my meds. Or, I can do what I know works....slim fast shakes two times a day and good sensibel meal for dinnner. I honestly think that it is more the feeling bad and not being as active as normal that has me gaining weight. i just dont think that I want to go so extreme while dealing with everything else I have going on. I think that it would just be impossible for me too do anyway.
Avatar f tn About 4 months ago we began to notice that our 2 year old was drinking a lot of water. I was getting up 3-12 times a night to refill and give her more water. I gave it a little time thinking it had something to do with her teething (2 year molars). After a while, I mentioned it to our pediatrician at her 2 year checkup. She didnt seem worried about it, but it progressed to the point where I was getting her water all day long and then all night long.
Avatar f tn Actualy there are not many studys and research on ketosis. Ketosis was used to threat epylepsy. Yes they had some problem with kidney stones but they were for years long on ketosis (extreme hardcore ketosis) . Also there are more types of keto dieting some are healthy some not, more info you can get with lyle mcdonald ketogenic diet, there you have everything about ketosis, every research and all pros an cons about ketosis ever (its free you can download it) .
Avatar f tn Went to the Restroom and when I was done and cleaned myself I saw a clear slim it didn't seem and to touch it was really gooey. What was it? 36+3 , 2cm dilated 80% effaced..
Avatar f tn Are slim jims ok during pregnancy..
