I am going to get the book and start this diet in a few days. I am concerned about ketosis in the first phase....should I be?

THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!

Hi Carrie,

No, you don't have to worry about ketosis with the SBD. We don't enter ketosis. The Doc explains that in the book, but we are allowed "good" carbs (veggies) where Atkins forbids those, so we still lose weight but without the ketosis. It's not necessary to go into ketosis to lose weight, as so many on this plan have proved!!!

Remember...this is not "low carb"...it is good carbs, combined with good fats and lean proteins!!! And it works!!!

Good luck and welcome!!!

Thanks so much! I was reading this on the webmd and it did caution about ketosis...but I feel more comfortable that you and several others have advised that this will not happen...thanks again!
