Hi, Jay
Mainly, I'm interested in gaining a clue as to whether my reductions are fat, or mostly fat. Yes, we know protein is muscle sparing but until I lose more of this fat pad that hides my muscle tone, it can be hard to be confident. Also, when I have added exercise in the past, my scale-loss slows a bit. I want to have this to back up my comfort that the slow-down is irrelevant.
Plus, if I start showing really high readings, I would look at how much dietary fat I'm eating. I am very conflicted by people who report losing weight while adding tons of fat while it just makes better sense to burn the fat we're wearing rather than what we're eating. I started LC in '99 and the doctors at that time had descriptions of benefits to dietary fat in the early stages of losing. It's all anecdotal, but w/o anecdotes, this site would dry up. We are all engaged in anecdotes. I want to sort out where I fit in this question of dietary fat vs body fat. A constructive level of ketones would go a long way in my mind, toward achieving this.
I'm also just curious and they've come down a lot in price.
