Ketosis
Ketosis is caused by not eating enough carbs. Many bodybuilders favor the ketosis because it allows them to eat a lot of both protein and fat. But we all have to be careful on a low carb diet. “Carbohydrate deprivation can cause dehydration and its easy to confuse dehydration with loss of body fat,” says Bill Dobbins co-author of The New Encylopedia Of Modern BodyBuilding
If you are worried about having too little carbs, there is a test you can take, by obtaining some Ketostix available at most pharmacies.
