have you read the book? dr. a does a beautiful job of explaining what it is and the process your body goes through during it.

Ketosis is when your body is using fat for energy.

Thanks! I'm not going anywhere, I love this forum! Never have I seen such a large group (not a fat joke.. lol) of people who actually GET ALONG!

Every other forum I've looked at has fighting, bickering, name calling.. can't stand that! Sure people aren't going to agree all the time, but here, it seems to go over with a cordial and polite agreement to disagree, I love it

not to mention this is just the COOL place to be. heh

Thank you so much for the info! I see exactly what it is. Your article is perfect.
I havent read the first book yet. This is where I have obviously made a mistake and bought the wrong book first. I will remedy that for sure in a day or so when I can get to the store.
I am going on what I have read and doing my best for the next few days.
I have a million more questions but will hold off so people wont roll there eyes when they see a post from me!! LOL!! I love the little tickers you all have also at the end of your posts! They are very nice and would keep me on track especially if everyone and myself was looking at them!

Go for it! Ask away! I'm sitting at the computer, doing my "seated dancing" exercises and waiting for the sun to go down some before I can head out to the pool... lol Plenty of time for Q&A!
