Agree or disagree?
I was wondering if you keto gurus agree or disagree with this statement:

[quote]For the most part, I simply see ketosis as a ?side-effect? of fat loss (burning to be more accurate), more than something to be explicitly sought out. That is, when you accelerate fat oxidation with the methods above, you tend to enter ketosis. Ketosis in and of itself isn?t any big deal. For that reason, I won?t talk about monitoring ketone levels with Ketostix or anything like that. Frankly, using a low-carbohydrate/ketogenic diet for the fat loss phase of the UD2 has more to do with lowering insulin, raising catecholamines, and ramping up fat oxidation; ketosis is simply a tangential effect.[/quote]

From my understanding, ketones are just a by-product when the body uses fat for energy.

Agree with Kyle on this one.
Ketosis is a sign that you are in a good hormonal position to lose fat. Not necessarily then end all be all aim of the diet.

x3.. Totally in agreement.
