Details: What Is Ketosis? On a low-carb diet such as the Atkins Diet, you must aim for a state of ketosis. Ketosis occurs when your body stops burning carbohydrates for energy and switches to burning fat. You should go into this state during the first few days of the plan, as soon as you begin depriving your body of carbohydrates and supplying it with mainly fat and protein. During ketosis, your body produces ketones. Why do I need these tests? These tests detect ketones in the urine and so will give an indication on whether you are in a state of ketosis or not. But is the presence of ketones a sign of diabetes? Yes it can be. Usua
