Ketosis is a state which the body enters when you consume less glucose (which you get from carbohydrates) than the body needs. The amount of carbohydrates to avoid this state is unclear, but most people suggest that it is 100g or 50g.
But Ketosis is not dangerous because the body is fully capable of producing glucose on it's own, but it uses a lot of energy.

Why can not you get into ketosis?
One cannot go into ketosis if too many carbohydrates are consumed. Thus, one needs to be able to do two things. The first is how to count to 20. Less than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day, and ketosis results. 20 grams of carbs is only around 80 kilocalories or calories to the general public not used to precise jargon. The second is learning to use ketone test strips which detect ketones in the urine and quantify how much, if any, ketosis is occuring.

What is involved in the atkin diet?
The Atkins diet is built on restricting carbs and filling up on fats. This puts your body in a state of ketosis so your body learns to burn fat for energy instead of carbs. It does cause weight loss but personally I wouldn't recommend it. You need carbs in your diet.

When carbs are eliminated or greatly reduced, the body begins using stored fat for glucose by the process of Ketosis. When abundant carbs are available the body stores the excess as fat.

Ketosis means that the body is burning fat for energy. There is nothing abnormal about this state. If the body is burning too much fat, it may be a health problem.
