I have been on the diet for almost two months and I have lost about 25 pounds. Not bad, I think. ANYWAYS, when I first started my very very very low carb diet, probably only ingesting about 5 g of carbs daily for the first month, I noticed that my ketone sticks were more purple than the bottles top picture showed, I mean it was pretty much black.... Now that I am taking Chromium Picolinate, which is supposed to help increase lean mass and help burn fat and use up those extra carbs, when I take the ketone test, I am not as purple as before!!!

My question???

Is Chromium Picolinate ~ 200mcg a day going to help me with my Atkins diet. Or is it going hurt me...

Also.. I thought that Atkins diet puts a block on insulin use, but Chromium Pic. starts it back up.. AAAHHHH I dont understand
