Low calorie diet to treat your ketosis

This article will discuss about ketosis. What is the problem with ketosis? Is the ketosis bad for the health? However, Atkins do not think that ketosis is bad. Is he wrong?

Ketosis is a state of the organism characterized by elevated levels of ketone bodies in the blood, occurring when the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. Some of these ketone bodies such as acetoacetate and -hydroxybutyrate can also be used for energy.

Ketosis is what happens when your body isn’t getting enough carbohydrates to use to fuel the body so it has to convert fats to energy. In other words your body is going into starvation mode and making an attempt to save itself. Limiting Carbohydrates is a very healthy and safe way to eat however, in my opinion anyway, I feel that removing too many carbohydrates will cause your body to go into ketosis, or eating none at all isn’t very healthy.

Whether ketosis is taking place can be checked by using special urine test strips such as Ketostix. When the body is in Ketosis subjects often have a “fruity breath”, and a darkening of their urine.

The Atkins diet is only for severely obese people. I know several women who ended up in the emergency room because of the Atkins diet, and the ER doctors said they get about five a week in there from it.

Atkins diet dates back to the 1960′s and is basically a semi-starvation diet that is very low in carbohydrates and high in protein. It usually contained less than 600 calories per day. A low calorie diet is usually less than 1,000 calories per day, but not low carbohydrate.
