Do they throw you off?????

[SonnyBlack]

Sup bros...I am currently thinking of starting my first CKD diet and I wanted to know if these certain items might affect the diet and throw you off Ketosis:

1.) Diet RC (with Splenda)
2.) Crystal Light
3.) Coffee
4.) Equal (sugar substitute)
5.)Smoking Cigarettes(Atkins says it might...go figure!!!)
6.) 5-HTP (L-tryptophan) as a supplement for mood swings

Also I heard that you should eat mostly eggs and steaks while on this diet...but I am kind of confused as to what kind of steaks you should eat with this diet that have the right fat/protein ratios and wont throw you off ketosis.

steaks... Anything is fine as long as it's fatless (very lean)... I don't think coffee throws it off... I drank 3 cups a day when i was on a CKD type diet and i dropped a lot of weight.. I've read that the caffeine in coffee and tea (moreso in tea) speeds up the effectiveness of fat burners that contain ephedrine
good luck

bump...any other suggestions???

items 1,4,5,6 are no good-- the rest are good, you can eat unlimited steaks on this diet and egg whites are better than whole eggs for low carbs

actually item # 1 is ok... I drink diet rite cola all the time and stay in ketosis...

this is made with splenda instead of aspartame....

1, 3, & 4 are okay for me. I don't know about the rest. eat the good fats like flax on this diet otherwise you will look and feel like shit with all that animal protein. Also, eat fish & get fiber supps.

so does this mean that 5-HTP can affect you in a bad way during this diet bros???im confused now.
