Think I am be entering ketosis. Yesterdays creamy meal seems to have done it: urine has a sharpo metallic odour which I recall from last time I did Atkins. I feel well,almost hyper, as I did last time. Protein/fat diets boost the production of hormones says Phil the Pharmacist so perhaps its that. However, I note that despite yesterdays long walk my joints aren't painful this morning. It may be the glorious high pressure weather but I am beginning to wonder if Atkins doen't make me leave out something to which I am sensitive. Lactose? Gluten? Who cares if the pain levels are down. Back to the forest adn another long walk.

My theory is that cutting out the white carbs reduces inflammation in the body. That would partially explain the reduced cardiac risk on this diet. Reduced inflammation would lead to less pain, etc.

Stacy is right, high-carb foods leave us in a state of chronic inflammation. It takes a few months to really see the effects in your joints. Ask GlennM, he has arthritis but it has gotten a lot better since being on Atkins.

Oh and I am allergic to wheat, lactose and soy, so this diet helps me immensely.
