Does ketosis necessarily mean weight loss?
I have been on the Atkins induction plan for about six weeks, with “minor” cheats (one day each) at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am using the Ketosis sticks and other than those holidays, I am staying in ketosis. That should be good news.
The problem is that the scale just isn’t moving. Nor are my clothes fitting better (well, perhaps a little bit better). My question is does anyone think that I could be producing ketones solely from metabolizing dietary fat? If so, seeing the strips change color is, in fact, meaningless!
Or is it probable that I am really losing fat and the weight will drop more or less suddenly when my body chemistry changes? Thanks. Steve
