Thanks for the ping. Funny thing, I hadn't been on a ketogenic diet in a while. Learned all the guys in another department where I work were on Atkins. Told them about my success with it in the past (let myself go, somewhat, later). They opened a drawer full of all kinds of snacks and stuff and invited me to join them. This was about the time you pinged me to the last thread when Dr. Atkins died. All these things reinspired me and I've been back on it since, losing steadily. Probably saved my life. Diabetes killed my father.
I've also been going to the gym, so I have been on a "targeted" ketogenic diet. Before and after working out, I take 20 grams of glucose polymers in water. This is a carb that is not sweet, and it goes straight to your muscle. Liver glycogen doesn't build up so you get the extra energy for your workout but tend to remain in ketosis.
