Cindylynn, I don't mean to scare you, and others may disagree, but Yes you can drink too much water. You can overindulge on anything. Do you remember not too long ago, parents who made their kid drink too uch water and she died. I don't know how much is too much, but if you're asking the question, I'd advise you to think twice. There is a formula which I unfortunately don't remember, for how much you should drink. Maybe doreen will see this post and tell you the formula. chris

Hi all

Hugs Cori

Im really tired and not feeling well so hope to actually read up on how you are all doing tomorrow ...

Ive completed my 4th day on Kiss and Im down 5 pounds. I had gained from the holidays to 152 to 162....started KISS at 159, and am 154..so its helping me get back on track.

Got a question mainly for KISSers but also maybe for those on the FFP -I do not know how low your calories go on that plan...but I was wondering...

What prevents the body from going into that protective starvation mode when cals get too low? Ive been at the 750-1000 calorie range...does ketosis block that from happening? Anyone know?

If it does then it brings up another interesting question that Im wondering about. It seems that one could get into ketosis...and then fast on nothing and the body would burn fat reserves..NOT that Im considering doing it..but its just interesting to know. It further seems that if that indeed does work ...that this type of fasting would be even more efficient than the traditional method of fasting? Ie...getting to the ketosis phase alot more comfortable then fasting on nothing for days to get there..

Does anyone know of anyones thats done this, and what the results were?

No biggie if no-one has an answer for the latter but I am hoping someone knows IF and if not then WHY doesnt the starvation mode mechanism get triggered on a KISS diet.

Thanks...hope that all made sense Im typing in mindnumbing exhaustion.

Have a good night all,
Glim.

Fat Flush is way too complicated to try to do without the book.

Try to at least get a copy from the library before you start if you don't have your own copy.

Cheers.

Homemade Cranberry Juice

12 oz. bag of cranberries
4 cups of water

Boil until cranberries pop and juice is nice and dark red/wine colored. Strain and cool. Makes about 32 oz. of juice - enough to last 4 days on the Fat Flush Plan!

Cori, Bless you! Between the cost of the flax oil, flax seed, and cranberry juice I wasn't sure I could swing it especailly after Christmas. Going to see if they marked the cranberries down yet! I'm looking for the book at a reasonable price so I can get all the info. Told my husband about this and he just rolled his eyes and asked about all the other books I insisted he buy for me that were collecting dust. I just told him I use them all... for reference. LOL Mary
