ketosis ?

Are we supposed to be in ketosis? I checked today and I am not, is this ok? The scale finally moved today and am down another 10 pounds. So far 60 lbs. Rhonda

i would think not if you are getting your carbs in, Ketosis would not be any part of a balanced diet...i would go into it during my atkins days when i was not eating carbs or carbs were very low and that still takes a couple days to get into it, and low carb maintainence to stay in it.

I am not sure about whether we should be in ketosis. I have heard that if we are in ketosis, the weight loss is better? How did you check to see if you are in ketosis? Great weight loss, by the way. Sue

I find that I lose more when I'm in benign dietary ketosis. I have checked a few times over the past couple of weeks, and I am in ketosis, especially when I exercise I always feel better in ketosis - more energy, for sure (((skinny hugs))) wendyb

O****ep seeing people saying "they checked" if they were in ketosis or not. What the heck? How do you check that?! I must have missed this in my classes or something.... can someone clue a girl in?
