Yeah, it's pretty well "meat and eggs" for the first couple of weeks. In response to Lane's mention of blood glucose mine was 94 on the last test, which is at the warning level. Under 100 is considered "normal."

I take Allopurinol for Gout, Urate crystallizes around your joints, so I will have to be careful to drink a lot of liquid to keep from having an attack. A gout attack will drive me off the diet. I have Colchicine on hand to handle an attack.

I normally drink two quarts a day of water a day, which is on my list. I make into iced tea with splenda, which is allowed. I don't think the caffeine will increase my appetite that much.

If I stay with good quality meat in small portions and keep the eggs at about six a day, I think I will get by OK. The diet allows 20mg of carb the first two weeks, but I see no reason to even go for that much. I should be in Ketoses by midweek. I am buying Ketostixs to check my urine.
