Message: <blockquote data-quote="Resurgam" data-source="post: 1540674" data-attributes="member: 355878">ketosis just means fat burning - most people do that at some time during each 24 hours.I used to lose weight if I kept under 80 gm of carbs a day, and did two lots of exercise most days. I was also running around after the family back then, ignoring the insistence that eating according to Atkins was terribly dangerous.When I tried to do 20 gm of carbs a day I lost half a stone in three days and went very wobbly. I upped the amount of carbs I ate each day until I was losing about 1/2 a lb a day and felt just fine. We each have a level below which we lose weight - the Atkins term is CCLL for losing and then CCLM for maintenance levels. When you find out your numbers controlling your weight becomes very simple.I found that the foods which stopped me losing weight also spiked my blood glucose - there is a carbohydrate ladder which rates carbs according to their 'clout' which is also part of the process, but it is only important if you don't keep away from 'the usual suspects' for type 2 blood glucose control.</blockquote>
