Can someone please give me a complete definition of
what ketosis is.  The ones that I have come across
don't seem to explain enough.

Is ketosis simply the build up of ketones from the
burning of FA and Protien?

Is it not taking in enough carbs 500-700 cals worth
for the brain to function without using ketones?

Is it simply a low carb intake that although may be
more than the 500-700 cals required, proportionally is
low carb compared to the rest of the diet?

I eat about 150-200 grams of carbs/day, yet this only
accounts for about 20% of my caloric intake.
