Today sucks...
I had a glucose tolerance test Friday, and gained 7 lbs. Normally I wouldn't assume it's a gain, however, it's been 5 days from the test, and I am negative for Ketones, and this is the pitfall of Atkins, and a common event during most of life. I am doing a 3-7 day "fast" of 5 carbs. My ticker tape going from green back to yellow was very painful. I hurt inside...

Isn't it true that you can't gain 7 pounds of meaningful weight (fat) in that amount of time? Isn't most of what you are experiencing water weight? See, this is one of the situations where I would not have recorded that weight. I'd probably work my butt off until it went back down, then record it as a plateau. I don't see any reason to depress yourself over some water weight.
I think it's going to go away on it's own if you just drink a lot of water for a few days. I think you know how I feel about fasting, but to each their own :) Hope you feel better soon :(

What is a glucose tolerance test ? and why would it have you up by so much ? in such a short period of time ? It's not for me to second guess, but I would tend to agree w/ k8yk on this one! ...in the past when life has sucked - I bet you handled it much differently than a "fast" to get you back on track - so I am sorry you are in pain, I am - really - 'cause this seemingly came out of nowhere - and you have to re-face removing those pounds - but you DID before - and you WILL again - and you will do it w/ the love and support of your group!! Well, done - that's worth smiling over!!!!!!! Love.

Basically a GTT is a major hit of sugar. They give a measured amount of "liquid sugar" to test how your body can metabolize the sugar. Your blood is drawn at specific intervals (fasting, 1/2 hour after drink, 1hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, up to 5 hr. It's a pain both literally and figuratively! For anyone on Atkins, that hit of sugar totally messes up the ketosis balance! Sorry Kimm you had to go through that! I was a medical tchnologist in my former life and I always hated to be the one who had to administer the test, knowing what I was putting the patient through! You're tough and strong and you'll see purple again soon! Best wishes to you!
