Introduction
When you don’t eat carbs, your liver switches to burning fat for fuel. It converts fats into fatty acids and ketones and sends them to cells for energy. This state is called ketosis – your body runs on fat, not carbs. However, even in ketosis, you burn dietary fat first, then body fat.

When a person is in nutritional ketosis, they will have blood ketone levels of 0.5 to 3 millimoles per liter.

Why am I not losing weight if I am in ketosis?

Conclusion
Normally, when a person does not lose weight on the ketogenic diet, it is because they have not reached ketosis. The most common reason for not going into ketosis is not cutting carbs enough. According to a 2019 article on the ketogenic diet, carbohydrates should only make up 5-10% of a person’s calorie intake.
