Re: What is ketosis?

there should be a graph on the side that shows different colors of purple, when you pee on the stick and it turns color...any color than beige then you are in ketosis.



When you dont eat carbs and replace them with protein and fat, your metabolism begins to shift. The first stage is lipolysis, and is the initial burning of fat to use as energy.
Ketosis is the second part of the process that takes place when your body's metabolism goes from getting energy from carbohydrates to taking it from fat.
