Ketosis is the result of the breakdown of fat... which results with ketone bodies as a product.
You will see it after your body's glycogen stores have been depleted. Which is your body's stored carbohydrates in your muscles and liver.
The depletion of glycogen results in weight loss... a good portion of that being water.
You can end up with a "metally" taste in your mouth with ketosis. I have done it and honestly I felt like shit. Going on runs while on a ketogenic diet left me with no energy.
Ketogenic diets were for cutting down on the amount of seizures some patients struggled with. Current trendy ketogenic diets are for cutting out excess carbs by first starting out severely low and slowly adding in carb sources as you progress.
