KETOSIS

Hey All, Umm...I probably should know the answer to this but I don't!  What is Ketosis?   Thanks. Pam

From an excerpt out of Dr Atkin's book. Briefly, the body naturally turns to fat for fuel when carbohydrate isn't available.  When a lot of fat is burned, some of the fat fragments - ketones - get excreted to preserve the body's acid-base balance (because ketones are acid), and this is called "ketosis."

Wow!  I learn somethin new everyday. Thanks Dan.

Thanks Dan I wondered the same thing, but what are some of things it can do to you.

Dizzy, light-headed and really, REALLY nasty breath.
