Ketosis is a popular weight loss strategy. Low-carb eating plans include the first part of the Atkins diet and the Paleo diet, which stress proteins for fueling your body. In addition to helping you burn fat, ketosis can make you feel less hungry. It also helps you maintain muscle.
For healthy people who don't have diabetes and aren't pregnant, ketosis usually kicks in after 3 or 4 days of eating less than 50 grams of carbohydrates per day. That's about 3 slices of bread, a cup of low-fat fruit yogurt, or two small bananas. You can start ketosis by fasting, too.

Since diagnosis and burning the cholesterol lowering diet sheet I have been eating fat from meat and fish and some olive oil too - my numbers from the previous years seem to be mysteriously absent, but from diagnosis onwards my trigs are reduced and the ratios improved. The nurse I saw at three months in said it was a delayed reaction. Sigh.
