This is my second time around to lose 100 pounds using a low carb method. The first time around I was eating 15 grams a day and peeing purple consistently. I lost the 100 pounds in less than a year.

Wammo-bammo, magically the 100 pounds comes back, so I'm doing it again, for the final time.

This time I didn't try the ketostix for four months, and I am also losing at much slower pace. So, I thought I would use myself as an experiment because I noticed my breath wasn't bad, either, at any point in time.

I started a protein fast on Friday and by Sunday I was barely pink. I'm still eating zero carbs and I'm back to negative. By the way, zero carbs is very boring and I'll never do it again because it only leads to disaster.

Results are in, my body has become much more efficient. I'll have to be more patient. Throw out the ketostix and just dig in for as long as it takes. I understand from reliable resources that would be about a lifetime long!

It's a commitment one must make with oneself.

Everyone, throw out your ketostix!!!!!!

Thank you.
