It's hard to tell why we don't get back into ketosis. I've been doing lots of study about ketosis and whether it's really necessary for our bodies to lose. Sometimes, going back to the beginning and reading a book or a trusted website helps do the detective work. This one is comprehensive but concise.

Quoting Dr. Ron Rosedale on chasing ketones at the Keto Summit:

Quote:

“I don’t want people to have the mindset that it’s the ketones that are the benefit of the diet. They are a beneficial side effect, but the main benefit is that you are burning fatty acids from fat. The more fatty acids from fat you are burning, the less glucose you need to burn. And that’s really where you are getting the benefit…So ketones are great but the term ketogenic diet indicating that the diet is so good because you are generating all these ketones is a misinterpretation of the benefit. The main benefit is that you are burning fatty acids, and as a side effect of burning fatty acids you are producing ketones that your body can burn too!”
