Ketosis

The body, when not dieting, uses mostly sugar for energy rather than fat. With Lipotrim the sugar content of the diet is kept deliberately low so that the body's own sugar stores get used up quickly. Fat then becomes the major source of energy. During this process the body acts in a state of ketosis.

When fat is burnt rapidly, the body produces substances from the fat called 'ketones' and the person is said to be in 'ketosis'. The mild ketosis produced by the Lipotrim formula has a number of advantages for dieters i.e hunger is reduced and a feeling of well being is often experienced. Ketones can be detected in the urine of dieters and provides encouragement that body fat is being burned. If you are having problems losing weight on the Lipotrim programme we can take a urine sample, analyse the results and find the root of the problem. ketones can sometimes be detected on the breath. This is only temporary and can be reduced by adequate water intake and mouth rinsing with a mouthwash (ie Oraldene, Listerine and Cool Mint Listerine strips). Because the low sugar level of the diet is critical to maintaining ketosis, it is very important not to eat or drink anything else, apart from your daily servings of Lipotrim formula and approved drinks(see hints and tips).
