Thanks again!
As it turns out, I had a BIG wooosh overnight. Down 4 more pounds! That is very satisfying as last time I was on Paxil, I started to lowcarb, and lost nothing.
If the weight loss is slowed, that's okay, I'm nearing goal anyway. I couldn't handle no loss or any gain though.
I've done a bit of research since my first post, and it appears that "High protein" is aparently only dangerous to those with liver problems if they develope a mental condition "mental encephalopathy". High protein is thought to contribute to this condition. High protein is not a danger otherwise to those with liver problems and is generally not restricted. This comes from several liver specialists, not lowcarb people.
High fat has been mentioned to possibly be a problem. Don't know if that's just more of the same from the "all fat is bad" group, or if there's something to that.
Also read that rapid weight gain can actually make one develope or worsen fatty liver. I guess due to the liver processing more fat than it's ability? They didn't say why, only that rapid loss could cause it. Hmmmm.
At 3 or 4 lbs a week for me, it's been pretty rapid. May have to look at slowing down the loss, which I need to do soon anyway since I've got about 15 lbs to goal.
Hopefully all this info can help someone else avoid this. This all started with me 3 years ago, my first time on Atkins. I had the book, but didn't know much more about it at that time. I had heard and read that lowcarbing was dangerous and could harm the liver. I didn't really believe it, but would be lying if I said the thought wasn't in the back of my mind. With my drinking history, and worrying about liver problems, perhaps this is what caused my tail spin into panic disorder hell!
