sc101071 398 Posted September 2, 2016 Fat burning mode bc the carbs are depleted. Usually get there with an Atkins type low carb diet. You'll notice darker urine. Ketones are released in the urine. A byproduct of the metabolic processes. Hence the name. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! make it a great day If you Google you will find tons of info on it, I am not sure I could avoid fruit though.
