Exactly!!! <img border="0" alt="[wave]" title="" src="graemlins/wave.gif" />
The only way to know first of all if the 0 carb diet is working, is to do a keytone test!!! When you have a carb definciency, your body is supposed to start burning stored fat as a energy source, the only problem with this is....when you have a 0 carb intake, your body has to burn something off as energy and because the body believes it is starving, it will start burning good muscle off and storing the fat as a reserve for fear of notknowing when it will eat....case in put...look at the ethiopians!!!! Extended bellies, 1 inch arms, no muscle just a little fat and bones!!! The 0 carb diet is a joke...eaten in moderation they will do you more good than harm, just eat complex carbs from good sources!!!
