    fish oil capsuals

    I am on my 7th day of induction & my ketostix are only just turning pink. I am usually quite purple by this stage. The only thing that I can think of that is different from my last Atkins journey is that I am taking fish oil caps. I take them for my arthritic hip as they greatly improve my mobility. I have read the label carefully & it says "no added sucrose" & all the other oses. Does anyone have any idea what the gel caps are made of? Do you think that they would make a difference to ketosis? I have only lost 1kg (2.25lb) up to yesterday & I usually lose about 4kg (10lb) in the first week of induction. I didn't weigh in today I thought I would wait till tomorrow & get the total for the whole week.
    Anyone think this would make a difference?
    Cheers Franny

    Well first of all, we need to know your starting weight a goal weight. Most people usally lose about 5-10% their weight on induction. If you have started and stopped induction a couple of times, more than likely your glycogen stores are empty and now are mainly losing fat. hence the smaller loss.

    As for ketostix...I swear I hate these things...

    As it has been said from time to time on the board, its like being pregnant...you either are or you are not. The different colors are just showing how many ketones have been deposited in your urine. the thing to remember is that they can be affected easily. If you are drinking alot of water then it will dilute it, if you are exercising alot, it won't hardly register...

    I think the easiest way to tell if you are in ketosis...is the appetite control.

          Yep, yep, the appetite thing is it.
          I have never used a ketostix in my life.

            I never used the stix .. to me, they are another form of bondage (much like the scale). Just do the right thing, eat according to the plan, exercise daily, and watch your portions.

              I must finally be in ketosis!!! Last night I didn't even want all of my meat, this is very unusual for me as I am a BIG meat eater. I felt satisfied so just thought don't eat it save it for tomorrow. Usually I would eat it anyway. Hopefully I am on the way to success!!!!! It is great not to be hungry all the time.
