How does a person on low cal do lipolisys compared to someone in ketosis? I want to think there the same, but to lose fat on low cal you have to use your glycogen stores then burn fat. Where in ketosis you always burn fat. It's in the transition on low cal that you lose muscle. I read it has to do somthing about the liver not making glucose in presence of ketones. So it uses fat for glucose Here's a link if interested The Blog of Michael R.

There is a link to some information on the ketogenic diet can help treat if not reverse kidney damaage. I will post it and look forward to Dr. Eades comment.

In my opinion, if you are consuming fats such as coconut oil and butter ( if you consume butter ) and it is a larege part of your diet AND you are consuming enough protein you should be fine. However, you might want to have your thyroid checked. This diet will tell you what, and if, anything is out of place if you let it. If you have thyroid problems, you definitely will want to cut out soy in your diet...assuming that you are eating soy. I know my comment is late but I hope this helps.

The idea that total calorie intake must be lower than calories burned (which is always guesswork anyway) is "conventional wisdom" that has been disproven over and over again in many published studies. According to G. Taubes in "Why We Get Fat" that law of "calories in must be equal or less than calories out" to lose weight is based on a misinterpretation of a fundamental law of thermodynamics in physics-- which loosely states that the energy that goes into a system (ie calories) cannot be lost along the way, but has to used to do something (like become fat storage) or converted to energy and burned (metabolized). Because of the variables in our biological processes, notably hormones, our intake of calories and weight loss or gain is not as simple as a math equation lljames: your reply is based on misinformation.

In your case, you have only one kidney, but presumably that kidney is functioning fine, so you shouldn't have a problem. Having said that, though, you should check with your own physician, who knows you best, before making any kind of radical dietary change.

And they are complaining about gaining only 3lbs. What about inches? Are any of these people measuring their waste lines? Are you guys weighing yourselves the same time each day, preferably in the morning before you eat? You can gain and lose up to 4lbs every single day due to water weight. If you are drinking a lot of water, which you should be, it is normal to see a 3lbs gain over a period of 4 weeks. Also, are you sure you are keeping your carbs at a low? And what sort of exercises are you people doing? I've been only working out 6 days on low carb and already I'm in heavy ketosis, and whenever i'm in ketosis I always lose weight rapidly. Are you people checking your urin to make sure you are even in ketosis?
