Moderate Ketosis

I bought the Ketone strips.  Results say I am in moderate ketosis! Yay!!  Is my goal to be in the "large" range?

Please explain! I'm a noob, what are ketone strips? 

From what I understand, when you reduce your carb intake as low as possible (many on here keep carbs in the 20-40 gm/day range), your body goes into a state of ketosis.  Instead of burning carbs for energy, your body is now a fat burning machine, which will accelerate your weight loss.
Vets, did I explain this correctly?

Here's some good info on ketones, low carb diets and so on...

The long and short of it, IMO, is to eat a balanced diet...working on your protein first but including good carbs, fruits, veggies, etc.  There is a bad side to ketosis - unfortunately, it's all too often forgotten about.  I eat carbs everyday...I do, however, watch what and how much I eat...and, even with those carbs, I've managed to lose nearly 100lbs in 7 months. 

I would ask you to also keep in mind accelerating your loss for what??  Eventually, you're going to add those carbs in again...100/day is healthy.  But, once you do, then what?  I only ask becuse I've done it.  Years ago, using Atkins, I managed a fast loss by keeping my carbs that low.  I became very ill and, gained it all back (and then some) when I started adding those carbs back in. 

To each their own - I would simply state to be very careful and consider a well balanced diet instead. Good luck!
