The Atkins diet does "jump start" weight loss, but keeping it off is another matter.  This diet is not very healthy, and some would say that dieting only makes you fatter.  If you try Atkins, do it for 2 weeks, then adopt a regimen of healthy eating and DAILY exercise.

it depends on the type of test; if it is blood or urine, depending on your metabolism, between 2-5 days, faster if your metabolism is high (ie if you are thin it is probably faster, and if you are bigger vice versa) It also depends on your usage, if you are habitual, it could take somewhat longer than if you are an occasional or one time user....if is is a hair follicle test, it depends on your ethnicity, but it could go back up to 18 months depending on your hair color and length (shorter for blondes than brunettes) this info should be pretty on the mark... thc from marijuana stays in longer because unlike coke, it is stored in your fat cells

Alcohol takes about 24 hours to be removed by the system (but regulated by other factors such as fatty foods, etc) and it is normal that you will feel sluggish the day after. The residual effects of alcohol can takes as long as a week to be removed from the system and most are done by the liver which is involved with other tasks in digestion so the triad of diet, amount of alcohol and time will determine the result. Many physicians and other professionals are alcoholic and are able to perform tasks expected of them but I would prefer a sober physician.

to obtain glucose, your body uses the food that you eat, breaks it down into sugars, carbons and waste, and then uses the sugar and carbons. you can guess where the waste ends up. anyway, if you stop eating, your body will finish digesting the last meal you ate. after that has been used up, your liver stores an approx 24 hours of glucose. when that has been used up, your body has 2 types of fat. brown fat, the fat that you have to keep you warm, and white fat, the extra energy-rich fat. your body will break down the white fat first, producing energy and something called keytones. in large quantities, keytones are deadly, but they come out of your system through urine. anyway, when the white fat has been used up, the brown fat is broken up. then the body begins to break down your muscles and begins to take nutrients from your bones. soon, you cant lift yourself up because you lack the muscles, your bones are more breakable than glass, and your body begins to dissolve your organs. not long later, you die. \n\nin someone who is diabetic, the body cannot digest the sugars that you have, so their goes the first two steps in the starvation ladder. you end up dying more quickly. all of the sugar builds up and is eventually pours out into your urine.\n\none last note, if you starve yourself, your keytones wont all be able to come out in your urine. so you will get a buildup of keytones, wich, depending on if you are overweight, would end up killing you before starvation does. this depends on how overweight you are.

Food takes 24 hours to process, but I think liquid processes in 30 minutes.\n\nI am like you, but then I was a hypoglycemic - now turned diabetic - and that has something to do with my ability to not retain soda.\n\nFor basic information on hyperinsulinemia - the precursor to hypoglycemia, check out www.hufa.org.

Depends on a number of factors. If you only smoke once in a while, it could take only a few days. If you smoke on a regular basis it could take a month or longer.\nIt also depends on the amount of body fat you have.\nTHC is stored in body fat.\nI used to smoke, but I quit. But I have been there.\nGood luck.

Ketosis is a really bad way to lose weight.  When your body goes into ketosis, it is essentially in starvation mode.  Your metabolism slows drastically to burn as few calories as possible.  In addition, your muscles start to be consumed to make glucose for your body to feed on.  You are better off increasing your exercise routine for a few days/weeks and laying off any excess calories.  Your body will thank you.

ha ha ha.. 7 hrs? Even something as durable and tough as chewing gum will start getting digested after such a long time! After all, digestion does not start in your stomach but in your mouth with enzymes that break down carb-chains into smaller carb-pieces... That goes for chewing gum as well!

Ketosis is not about calorie reduction, although that does play a role in weight loss. Ketosis is a state where your body switches from burning sugar (glucose) for energy and starts burning fat for energy instead. Used stores of body fat will then be broken down in order to be used as fuel, resulting in weight loss.

Keep your blood sugar down! Test for ketones when your sugar is over 240 mg/dl and keep hydrated. Keep all post D.K.A. appointments with your doctor and take care of your self so it doesn't happen again.

It takes an average of 18-24 hours for a meal to be fully digested and move into the large intestine as the waste that cannot be digested, which becomes feces.  The more one eats, the more one has to get rid of in the bowel movement.  It also depends what you eat.  Foods high in fiber, like fruits, vegetables, and whole wheats, have a lot of components that are not digested and move right through the digestive system.  The large intestine is about 6 feet in length, so it has the capacity to store a lot of stuff.  However, feces cannot be stored for very long times.  When fecal matter has moved into the sigmoid colon an rectum, the pressure increases and receptors in the rectum fire to the brain to tell other rectal muscles to contract and have a bowel movement.   Bowel movements with a week or more between indicates a slow digestive tract and possible backup of compacted fecal matter that is almost stuck to large intestine.  Laxatives or possible mechanical methods can be used to fix this.
