Hello all
Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before, but my research has been inconclusive and I thought you lovely people may be able to shed some light!
If ketosis means we are burning fat for energy, then since on Atkins we tend to eat a lot of fat, doesn't that just mean our bodies will use that fat, instead of the nasty stuff stored on our thighs and tummies?? As per the induction rules I am counting carbs and not cals or fat, which has been great, but I'm a bit worried that my ketones are a result of the buttery lamb chops I just ate, not me burning off my own fat!
Can anyone shed any light? Sorry for the random questions!
