Well a ketostix is those urine analysis strips used by diabetes to see if their bodies are using carbohydrates.. but Atkins reccommended that dieters can use it in the diet to see if they are in ketosis and to what degree. It is nice to see the stick turn purple. I think it would be especially helpful when Im on the later stages of the diet and trying to find my optimum level of carb intake.. I will be able to see exactly when my body stops burning fat and goes back to just using carbs.
Also, interesting that you feel that way about going vegetarian, vouge! I feel teh same way
... yummy dancing carrotz...
Actually I initially tried to do teh induction phase as a vegetarian (with eggs as my main food) but it was pretty much impossible for me.. but definitely once I get into the lifetime maintainence stage I will be going back to veggie.. By then it will be doable just with eating whole greain foods and legumes instead of regular white bread etc...
oh..gota go.. hubby is calling me to get ready for aikido
