Hello Everyone,

I am very new to the LC way of life. Several years ago I did PP and lost 30 lbs.... however I gained those as well as several more back when I returned to my old way of life

Anyway I am know re-evaluating and making some life changes in terms of my diet and eating LC. I am trying CAD. A few years ago when I did PP I thought that is where I learned about ketosis, but I went through my PP stuff and couldn't find out about it.

The Heller's (who wrote CAD) say ketosis is bad. I know I am in ketosis because I have the copper taste in my mouth and I bought some sticks and they turn purple.

Can someone give me a quick refresher on what exactly ketosis is and what it does in the body? I thought I learned about it through PP, but apparently I didn't. I read on another site that ketosis is an Atkin's thing, so I thought I'd ask the experts!!

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Thank you very much!! Being still so new to all of this (and this board) I am not sure where to find everything. I appreciate your help!!
