    Has anyone else bothered to venture over to that "Ketogenic 1 month progress" or whatever it's called thread yet? Dude's a walking ketoacidosis case waiting to happen!
    Just reading that made me feel sick and my heart beat faster. I've tried going low carb many times in the past and it always ends up very, very bad. I get very weak, lightheaded, and nauseous. So to me, this sounds awful! I love my carbs. Mmmm.... bread.

    I try to do a lower carb diet, but I'm not even attempting keto. I've just got done studying what happens when there are too many ketone bodies built up in the blood....yeah, no thanks. lol

    That isn't really how it works. It's an issue for T1 diabetics, but that has nothing to do with keto.
    Oh, ok. Got a bit confused there, apologies.

    What did he mean by 'pissing glitter'? Sounded like he meant it literally, not in a 'farting rainbows and unicorns' sort of way. Is this a side-effect of super low-carb? Yes, I know it's no actual glitter, so what is it?

    I'm not exactly sure what he meant by "pissing glitter", and he never clarified.... I couldn't make sense of half of what he was saying. I did get he was having heart palpitations, but that's about it. I do know that if my piss was "glittering" I'd be hightailing it to the doctor's office!
    Yes! I had a mental image of a urine sample like a snow globe.

    I do this. The only person I talk to is my SO, but when he pisses me off, I have no-one else to talk to about it. No girly chats or girly evenings, but at work I pretend its all good. I make up stuff when they ask how my weekend was. Instead of saying "we did nothing but watch tv and work out" it will be "We went to the park and played ball games in the sun all afternoon and then went out for a lovely meal" something that says we did stuff, but stuff you won't remember in half an hour so I don't have to keep up the lie.

    This is me too. My SO works weekends usually. My sister is busy with her own family. I have one other friend but she has so many other friends she doesn't hang out with me too much (we were neighbors as young kids but she went to private school so we had different friends as kids). I'm always embarrassed to say I did chores over the weekend every week... I hate when people ask me how my weekend was.

    Don't worry about it - there are still doctors out there who get confused by it. So many horror stories on reddit. I've been lucky to have found older doctors who get it most of my life.

    We were discussing diets like atkins and my professor mentioned the ketosis part of it, and then we started discussing ketoacidosis. I must have gotten them switched around lol. Either way, not exactly a jar I'm willing to put my marbles in, kwim?

    Heh, I usually end up taking a dump an hour or two after weighing myself in the morning.

    I was so relieved to go to the bathroom on Monday since I was constipated for almost a week. I weighed myself in the morning & weighed 153 & lost a pound after finally pooping.

    THANK GOD for prunes & a ton of water.

    I confess that that once while shopping with my mom I farted in a thrift store & my mom thought it was a little old lady who stunk up the store.

    This made me laugh. :)

    Ugh, I totally understand being constipated. I've tried so many things to fix it. I've even complained to my doctor but she didn't seem to care. I'm getting a new doctor...

    I've tried: coconut oil, magnesium (the drink and pills), olive oil, Epson salt drink, prunes, culturelle, fiber, etc etc. I'm not sure what else to try.

    I take a stool softener with a stimulant laxative EVERY day. Nothing else works for me. I take two of the generic tablets and the stimulant isn't enough make me feel crampy, but it is enough to get the job done.

    I hate that too. I am a 44 year old single mom of a 4 year old. I also work full time 40-50 hours a week . Please don't ask me about my weekend unless you want to hear about laundry, vacuuming and a variety of other household chores and my big outing of a trip to the grocery store :smiley:

    Only half serious suggestion: sugar free gummy bears

    Slightly more serious - get a bag of sugar free Russell Stover's anything. Just not on a weekend you need to do anything important, like, leave the house.

    Could you imagine the conversation?
    "Uh, yeah, Doc, my piss glitters"
    "Excuse me?"
    "I'm pissing glitter!"
    "Let's take a sample. Hmm, yup, looks like Elsa's created winter in your bladder I'm afraid!"

    I used to keep sugar free mints/candy in my office. Anything that wasn't sugar free (even mints), I would eat them all in short order. Sugar free anything, I can only eat 2 mints per day or I'll be strapped to the crapper.

    Try a Pure Protein chocolate deluxe bar. There is actually a warning on bar about it having a "laxative" effect if it's over consumed. Let's just say, I've only had 1 bar and will NOT be eating any more of them. I was in the bathroom for over 20 minutes. :#

    I bought a food scale today so that I can weight things out for a while and get my portion sizes right and then I am going to return it because I am low on funds. I also tried out a body scale at the same store just to weigh in because I don't have one at home, nor do I go to a gym!

    All these confessions about pizza are making me want pizza.

    We are taking our Administrative Assistant out for lunch as it is Administrative Professional's Day, and this is what she chose. Everything looks delicious and I'm not sure I'll make the healthiest choice.

    WHAT! WELL NO-ONE TOLD ME! Dammit. I'm noting that on the calender for next year!

    I never remember it is admin professional's day but my company is so nice. They sent us all huge gift baskets full of candy, cookies, crackers, cheese etc from wine country gifts. I looked up the basket we got on the wine country site and they are $75 each. Omg... This is the third year I've gotten one. I feel kinda bad they give us so much.

    YAY! I'm so happy for you. Hope everything works out. I'm super jealous. :)

    I confess that at some point, in the last 7 days, I ate three Twinkies. I honestly don't remember what day I did this, but the wrappers are in my cupboard as proof ( my son's disappointment that his Twinkies are gone is palatable), and since I can't remember the day, I haven't logged them. Since they are made of foam, they can't REALLY count, can they?

    I find it awesome that your son's disappointment tastes good to you!!! ;)

    I'm listening to Jay Z, the uncensored stuff, loudly at my desk. lots of swear words. It's making me more productive. BIG PIMPIN

    When I was like 13-14 I had gotten super sick around Christmas time. My whole family was downstairs enjoying dinner and I was up in my room trying to sleep with probably a 103 degF fever. I couldn't sleep but was having a lucid dream/hallucination that I was on the boat from the Big Pimpin video and didn't understand why everyone was partying when I didn't feel well. That's all I think of when I hear that song.

    Confession: I know I'm PMSing but my boss is a dude and he's PMSing MORE...all I've gotten is attitude from him since Monday. This is one of the least productive but busiest weeks ever because we're both avoiding each other like the plague. It's making me want to go home and just sleep.
