You sound really excited and happy with your new way of eating. Congratulations!

To answer your question, well, yes and no.

If you're relying on the ketostix as the indicator of ketosis, no. The sticks also register dietary fat being burned as well as alcohol. If you're drinking enough water, the colour will be light.

Go by how your body feels...frequent trips to the potty, funny taste in your mouth and some people report feeling hot or tingly. That's real ketosis.

When one achieves ketosis, does the body stay there steadily?

Ketosis = Weight Loss??

Does dietary fat get broken down into ketones, too?
