Check out http://www.tuitnutrition.com/ for some excellent myth busting on ketosis. Also useful info on gluconeogenesis and a few other topics.
I always feel like tearing my hair out when ppl declare they are ‘kicked out of ketosis’ or ‘a diet must be below 20g carbs to be ketogenic’ or a whole host of other stuff. Basically, if your calorie intake from carbs (and some protein) is too low to fuel your body, then you are running on a sliding scale of ketones - whether they come from dietary fat or bodily fat. It will vary through the day, and depending on what you eat, but the on/off switch is a nonsensical concept. So many myths...
I hope you enjoy Tuit. I think she is great.
That blog entry puts the tin hat on it for me, can't believe I wasted twelve quid on keto sticks when, as Amy says, my scales and tape measure were telling me everything I needed to know. I live and learn. Thanks for the link.
