A question......

[Deniz]

Can one gain FAT in ketosis?

[*Emma*]

Simple answer..... Yes

[*Emma*]

if you let me know why your asking, i'll explain it more to you!

if you follow atkins to the "T" and youre in ketosis you wont gain weight, but you dont have to do Atkins to be in ketosis.

If you overeat your legal foods, you can gain weight or not lose it. Those ketostix only indicate that you are burning fat. But they don't indicate if that fat is the fat you recently ate or if that fat is your body fat.

Right hun

Thanks for your reply

Well Im asking it because Im wondering whether I gained fat after I ate some stuff but stayed in ketosis

So how do you gain fat in ketosis?

You can be in ketosis without atkins right? How does that happen? Diabetes? Thanks!

[Deniz]

Hi not2late! What about if you ate non legal foods like syrup and stayed in ketosis but the scale went up? Is that fat?

Thanks

you can eat up to around 100g carbs and still be in ketosis, all ketosis means is that your body is primarily burning fat - so yes as long as your cheating within 100 carbs you could still be in ketosis, but i doubt very much you would lose fat, more than likely gain it!

[Deniz]

This is really confusing!

[Deniz]

so you can gain fat in ketosis if you cheat, but it means you are burning fat and gaining fat at the same time

its burning the fat your eating instead of the stored fat that your trying to get rid of

If you follow the plan - you neednt worry about this aspect of things.
