A while ago I injured my shoulder weight lifting. Since it was painful to even sleep I couldn't lift weights and all my muscle turned to far VERY quickly.

After physical theropy last year and some exercising, the shoulder is great. I've been taking glucosamine as it helps with joints and ligaments.

I've been on the atkins diet for some time now and I'm currently reading his new diet revolution book. In it he says that glucose is what the body burns from the food we eat and comes from carbs (of course all of us are in ketosis and aren't eating the carbs that get turned into glucose)

I just wonder if taking GLUCOSAMINE is harming my diet? glucosamine and glucose sound very similar!
