Ketosis occurs when the body does not have any glucose stores left. So it has to switch to some other process to get energy. One process is gluconeogenesis in which the body creates glucose from fat/protein. The other is ketosis which is literally referes to the creation of ketone bodies from fat/protein.
Ketogenic diets force your body to adapt to using fat for fuel when glucose (from carbs) is not present, this is known as ketosis. Ketones are a by-product of ketosis and keto sticks (also known as ketostix or ketosticks) are urine testing strips which detect the presence of ketones in the blood. They are small plastic strips with an absorbent pad on the end, you urinate on the absorbent pad and it changes colour to reflect the amount of ketones present in your urine.
