Ketosis on OWL?

[DDBoles]

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if you still experience "ketosis" once you move out of induction and into OWL. Anyone know?

Thanks!

Yep, still in Ketosis.

I don't have DANDR handy so I don't know the number - but it takes a lot more carbs than what you get in the early stages of OWL to knock you out (assuming you're following the plan exactly) of ketosis.

Atkins is a ketogenic diet (that means it produces ketones due to fat metabolism.) A ketogenic diet is defined as a diet containing less than 100-130 grams carbohydrates.

The ketostix might stop registering when you get to 40-50 net carbs daily. But it really doesn't matter, because as long as the physical signs of ketosis are still there and you are losing weight, you are okay.

Yep I'm on the first rung of OWL and still in ketosis.
