There is a misconception that carbohydrates are completely avoided for weight loss. When you take the carbohydrates away, your body runs out of glucose and is forced to burn its secondary fuel – fat. When your cells burn fat instead of glucose, byproducts known as “ketones” are produced, creating a state called “ketosis,” which leads to a loss in appetite and significant water loss and also to fatigue, nausea and low blood pressure loss, which leads to osteoporosis. During its passage through the ureters, this bone material can solidify into kidney stones.
