What can u tell me about Ketosis?

Adkins Diet,

I dont know about the calcium, but ketosis is when your body runs out of carbs to use for energy. The forces the body to go directly to fat for energy. The amount a carbs a person takes a day depends on age, sex, weight, and amount of exersise.


Ive been in ketosis before, and Im trying to get in it again. It usually takes about 3 days of limiting carbs to get into ketosis.

Along with starches, fruits must be avoided too, except for some berries which are low in carbs.

The burning of fat in the body by the absence of carbs, the body will burn the fat, you are consuming large amounts of protein. It really not advised by medical profession, but does work. also you need cabs for healthy brain activity and energy. so you decide.

Ketosis is a rapid fat burning process where your body uses its fat stores to live off of instead of the food you're eating.

I've never heard of it depleting calcium but I'm not a healthcare professional, so I am not here to tell you that it doesn't.

Your body has to have used up any and all energy it has from food intake. Typically this requires fasting for 3 days, or a prolonged period of eating significantly below what your body needs to survive. As in eating disorder below. People who lose dramatic amounts of weight in relatively short periods of time, people who eat 600 calories a day. That type of thing.

With a normal, healthy diet, your calorie deficit is small enough, and your weight loss is slow enough, that you are not in any sort of danger.

If you are worried about your bone strength, I recommend drinking calcium fortified soy milk daily and eating a yummy salad full of dark green leafy vegetables. Also, you can add in kale and spinach to your smoothies in the morning and it still tastes great while giving you the extra vitamins you need.

Also, vitamin D has been proven to be the most important thing in maintaining bone density. You only need about 15 minutes of sun a day to get it, but what most of the magazines don't tell you is you need to have a large percentage of your skin exposed to the sun in order for your body to be able to aborb enough. Try hanging around in the backyard doing 15 minutes of gardening each afternoon in shorts and a swim top.

I followed a diet plan that put ur body into ketosis. But unlike atkins u could eat a different food group on separate days. Think its similar to the cabbage soup diet but I never touched a drop of cabbage soup!!! The book was by Dr Caroline shreeve, called eat yourself slim in 14 days. 1st time I tried it I lost 11lb in a fortnight. My difficulty came when I had to switch back to regular eating. It's not something I think u can maintain long term.

I've been on a diet under ketosis for over a month. I feel better than ever with lots of energy. This is because the doctor gave me lots of miligrams of multivitamin, glucoase, and potasium. Plus inyections for vitamin b-6 and b-14. I've lost 16 pounds in five weeks.
