- A substance which prevents ketosis might be described by some people
- as _increasing_ compliance on what would otherwise be a ketogenic diet.
- No more paper-dry mouth with killer bad breath, no more headaches and
- fuzzy feeling, etc. Ketosis is sometimes described as causing euphoria,
- but I've experienced euphoria, and ketosis is no euphoriant for me.
-
- Anyway, I'll read the study and comment more at that point.
- The idea that a slice of lemon in water would make a difference
- in compliance on a diet is truly bizarre to me. Of course, when
- you're on a VLCD, you don't have much else to engage your imagination.
- All sorts of things loom in importance.
-
- If you decide to go on one of these regimens again, I invite you to
- get the Ketostix out and start pissing. If a gallon of diet Coke
- makes any kind of difference, I'll buy you a can of Cambridge Diet.
