Ketosis question
I know that I probably should already know the answer to this but I've
loaned out my DANDR to a friend and I can't look it up. I know that ketosis isn't a bad thing, but do you have to BE in ketosis in order to lose weight? If you can lose weight w/o being in ketosis, does this mean you aren't losing fat? I've always been curious but I don't remember this part in my DANDR. If it was there, I don't think I really understood. TIA! -- Linda 296/205/160 LC since Oct. 13, 2003 http://home.att.net/~lewis_linda/index.html

TIA! -- Linda 296/205/160 LC since Oct. 13, 2003 http://home.att.net/~lewis_linda/index.html The process of burning fat is lipolysis. Ketosis is a secondary process that occurs at a very low carb level. Quoting from my copy of DADR: "Ketosis occurs when you are taking in a very low level of carbohydrate from the food you eat, as you will during much of the weight loss phases of Atkins." And I apologize for accidentally sending this through email.

If it was there, I don't think I really understood. Lots of people lose weight on high carb low fat diets, so you don't need to be "in ketosis" to lose fat. Some people just have a hard time doing it, and find that ketosis makes it easier to set up the chemical processes involved in fat metabolism. Actually, though, I think pretty much everyone on a hypocaloric diet goes in and out of ketosis throughout the day as caloric demand exceeds caloric supply.

If you biked 100 miles a day and burnt 5,000 calories but ate 4,500 calories (all in carbs, say), you'd lose weight even though you aren't in ketosis. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply
