[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1621267, member: 355878"] Ketosis simply means using fat for fuel - and most people do it for some time every day - it is absolutely normal. If your blood glucose is low then ketones in the blood or urine don't matter. I checked my own carb consumption more closely recently and whilst I set my level at a maximum of 60 I am probably under 50 most days - but I am over 3 stone lighter than the maximum I recorded. I have to have ketosed that fat - it would not have gone otherwise - and it is fat, my scales measure fat content and I have a slide rule so I can see that my non fat weight has stayed the same.
