I've been following low-carb for about a month and a half, with great results. I feel better than EVER, I'm not relying on early-evening naps to make it through the day, and the cravings have virtually vanished. I have a few observations though, and was wondering if any of you guys have had similar effects...

1. My urine is generally cloudy. It almost looks like there's bits of cotton in there or something... is this normal? (I use ketostix regularly as a psychological boost, so I can't help but to notice this). I'm assuming it's from the ketones...??

2. Every two weeks or so I'll go out for pizza, or whatever it was that I may have been missing. I definitely can't eat as much as I used to, but to say the least, I definitely don't hold back. I'll eat around 100-120 carbs, but what blows my mind is I don't seem to leave ketosis at all... the next day I'll test small, but I'm still not negative, and within 12-18 hours I'm back to purple. I don't even put on the water weight, which would indicate that my liver had stored the carbs as glycogen. What's up with that?

I should also probably note that I enter ketosis *very* quickly... within 18 hours. Maybe it's just my metabolism and I'm considered lucky...?

Any comments would be much appriciated!

You may be one of the lucky people whose CCLL is well over 100!!
