Now are you ready to find out the catch? Well, actually the human body will always choose carbs and storage mode. Glucose is the preferred form. Carbs are needed for energy. Without them it will be far more challenging to do sports, practice yoga or attend HIIT class. The more active you are, the more likely you are to need carbs in your diet. Pick a ketogenic diet and integrate the right amount of carbohydrates if you go to the gym on a regular basis. There are two options for you to choose from. You can eat carbs right before your workout routine or immediately after it. This, hopefully, sustain performance without affecting ketosis. You might also want alternate periods of ketogenic dieting with periods of moderate carbohydrate consumption.

Now it’s time for you to learn to detect whether you have already reached ketosis. The amount of carbs you can consume and still lose weight varies from individual to individual. In some cases people restrict carb consumption to 20g per day. Others will still losing weight even if they eat 30 g of carbs a day. Use urine test strips to see the presence of ketones. It’s a very simple way to find out if your body is in fat-burning mode.
