Dumb Question??

[blubex]

Hi ,

Sorry I don't know if I'm being really thick ...I have started on exante today and am really hoping to lose three stone asap.

Can someone please explain what Ketosis actually means and how I will know when I am in it...and also how I would know if I came out of it??

Sorry just read loads of threads about how things can knock you out of ketosis and I am confused !!!

Thanks!

Ketosis is bascially the term used when our bodies use our fat as energy.Ketones are formed when glycogen stores in the liver have run out. The ketones are used for energy.

When the body is in ketosis you tend to feel less hungry, and will probably eat less than. The body switches from being carbohydrate-burning into a fat-burning one. The fat stores become the source of energy and you loose weight.
