[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2179253, member: 355878"] You need to differentiate between ketosis which is what you want, burning fats for fuel, and ketoacidosis, which is high blood glucose and high ketones, usually, and most undesirable. Ketones can be measured using urine sticks or strips similar to those used in blood glucose meters. Eating a low calorie diet can be detrimental to the metabolism, slowing it down and making a permanent alteration to the speed at which it operates. Low carbing usually means eating a diet which makes up for the lack of carbs with protein and fat. Many people report that they feel more energetic eating a low carb diet - personally, I have gone back to work as now have the strength to hoist knitting machines around again. [/QUOTE]
