what exactly is ketosis??

[betterthanu]

I have seen products for it in supplement stores and have seen fellow lifter's talk about it, but what exactly does it refer to. IT is a protein or carb deficient diet????? What exactly is it used for. Thanks for any info to the most informed educated board around.

Ketosis is a state the body goes into when it has lack of carbohydrates and in a fat burning state. Ketones are bi-products of fatty acids being burned. There is an amonia taste in the mouth and piss, with sweat sometimes smelling like it as well. Ketosis is not something you buy, but a state you can go into. Keto sticks, jhowever, can be purchased to measure whether or not the body is in ketosis. Some others hewre can expopund on this more scientifically..i just give the definition for dummies like myself.
