Holy shit. That's scary that you black out after just four drinks. If you come to V25 you might just die. Did you literally go from a standing to on-the-floor posistion on the train?

It might not be good for you, but it fucking works. 55 pounds in 12 weeks with zero exercise is a result that I think "outweighs" any potential drawbacks.
At least, that was my stance until this morning. We'll see what happens later today.
That's an unhealthy amount of mass to lose over that period of time, and probably has a lot more to do with your issues then lack of carbs.
Not to mention, losing that much weight that fast will wreak havoc on your leptin levels, setting you up for some major falls thermodynamically later on.
Well a few weeks ago, you asked if John and I wanted to get together with you and Jess this weekend, cuz she was finally coming out to Boston. Is she still coming out?
Get off the fucking Atkins Diet

Jebus, don't you realize what you're doing? Your body has switched over to almost complete ketosis at this point, where you can no longer breakdown carbs properly because for so long you've been breaking down ketones instead. Yup, you're body is a fat-burning machine now (Mammals are intended to be sugar burning machines) Anyhow, ketones, when they break down, can eat away at your organs and cause organ failure. You're poisoning your pancreas, liver and kidneys, every time you intake any significant amount of carbs because you can't process them. You're well on your way to giving yourself diabetes if you're already passing out from small amounts of sugar. THESE ARE THE REASONS WHY THE INDUCTION PHASE IS ONLY supposed to be 2 WEEKS LONG

I don't disagree with your points, but I didn't pass out because I had sugar. I didn't have any sugar/starch last night or this morning.
That said, I'll probably be curtailing the fAtkin's this week, instead of going until my birthday like I had planned. If I want to have any hope of surviving V25, I need to get back to a moderately healthy food intake.
