Coooool . I dunno I'll have a look if I go shopping on the weekend. Maybe you could find it in a health food store if not supermarket?

Some do, but not all of them. I know that some teriyaki sauce products have it, so I did check the ingredients for kikkoman's. I didn't find anything of the sort. If you just check different brands for ingredients, I know you will find at least some that don't have alcohol in them.

cuz carbs are the primary fuel for weight lifting..most athletes who have perfected this kind of diet dont do it for days upon days straight..they do carbohydrate cycling..so, theyll load up on carbs all weekend, and then go low carb for the weekdays so they can use the fuel from the weekend..even then their bodies are much more different than ours cuz of everything they put it through so i'd personally be kinda hesitant to do it

but that'd be like if you went TOTALLY no carb right? What if you were having a little bit of carbs like some fruit and maybe some rice?

there's nothing wrong with weight training on a ketogenic diet. it can only help, since after a period of low carbing your metabolism slows down and muscle starts wasting.. weightlifting counteracts both of those things. though you'll probably retain a little more muscle on a low carb diet than you would on a low calorie diet, even without weightlifting.

I know this one girl who did the Atkins for two whole weeks, and she used to eat the most manly foods ever. She lost a lot of weight in those two weeks, but then she fainted so her mum said she couldn't carry it on. It's a very strange diet.

Did anyone see that programme on BBC Three the other night? Natalie Cassidy (you know, Sonya from Eastenders) was doing these fad diets and examining social attitudes towards weight. She did this maple syrup diet (nothing but maple syrup for FIVE DAYS! insane) and this cabbage food diet (and she was farting the whole time, lol)

maple syrup? is that the one that beyonce did which is actually supposed to be a detox and not a weight loss program?

that's unhealthy though, fad diets are the suck. Long live healthy life styles!

[rawrr]

Did Natalie Cassidy lose weight?

I heard detoxing doesn't really 'work', because the liver naturally detoxifies everything already. I wouldn't mind doing a crazy detox for a week though.
