hi-
no idea. The main advocate of ketosis seems to be Dr. Atkins- what do his books say? What about the NEW Atkins book- what do those authors say?

I don't know if I was ever in ketosis. Not important to me or part of my plan. SO I lost all my weight and have maintianed for over 6 years without it.

Welcome to this area- maintaining is a whole different mindset.

There are some great posts here and lots of info-
