Ketosis

[neilsbird09]

My sticks aren't showing as strong a colour either but on reading about them, the longer you are on a low carb diet, the more your body adapts and you don't excrete the same amount in your urine. They can even show no change at all after a while but it just means your body has completely adapted to burning fat for fuel and is doing so very efficiently

You don't have to be in ketosis to lose weight, I'm losing weight at the moment and I'm not in Ketosis, you probably won't be in ketosis in OWL either.

Sorry. Whats OWL?

 

[neilsbird09]

But you're still using your body fat as fuel Jim? Is that right?
