No, the presence of gas in the body is not a sign of fat burning. Gas in the body is typically a result of digestion and is not directly related to the process of burning fat for energy.
Ketosis is an abnormal condition in the body as a result of the partial burning of fatty acids?
Ketosis means that the body is burning fat for energy. There is nothing abnormal about this state. If the body is burning too much fat, it may be a health problem.

What does fat help your body?
Fat is your body's way of storing energy for longer periods of time. If you were unable to eat anything for a long time, your body would be able to use the energy stored in fat to stay alive. Without fat, a person could only survive a couple days without food. Your body can also use body fat to suppliment your energy supplies if you are burning more calories than you consume.
Why is my body burning protein instead of fat?
Your body may be burning protein instead of fat because it needs quick energy or because you are not consuming enough carbohydrates. This can happen during intense exercise or if you are following a very low-carb diet.
Burning Fat Vs Burning Calories?
To lose weight and get in shape you must have a good diet and exercise regularly to burn fat. The first thing you must understand about exercise is that just because you are burning calories does not mean you are burning fat. Your main focus when you exercise should be losing body fat, and you can’t lose body fat just from burning calories. When we exercise, our bodies will start burning calories, but the calories that are burned are the calories from carbohydrates in our system. In order to burn calories from your stored fat, your body requires the presence of oxygen. There is a certain amount of oxygen that your body needs in order to start burning fat and the only way for you to measure the amount needed for your own body is to keep up with your target heart rate during exercise. Please understand that if you continue to only burn calories from carbohydrates, you will lose mostly “water weight” which leads to a decrease in your metabolism. Also, think of the calories that are burned from carbohydrates as your energy calories. If you lose too much energy calories then your muscles will not receive enough energy to increase your metabolism which indirectly burn fat. Therefore you must increase your calorie intake when you are on an exercise program to replace your burned energy calories. Burning Fat Calories during exercise During aerobic exercise, your body goes through several stages before it reaches the point where you are burning fat. You will hear people say that you are only burning sugar (carbohydrates) not fat during the first 10 minutes of exercise. This is true to a certain extent. I say this because you will continue to burn sugar past the 10 minute mark if you are not working out hard enough for your body to want more oxygen; or you are working out too hard and you can’t supply your body with enough oxygen for fat burning. When you exercise you must move at a steady pace (not too fast, not too slow) so your body will utilize your stored fat (not carbohydrates or sugar) as its energy source. Also remember that just because you reached the fat burning stage does not mean you will stay there. Staying at the fat burning stage once again depends on if you are moving at a pace that is right for your body. Make sure that you are within your target heart rate range. Burning Fat Calories at rest The only way for you to continue to burn fat calories hours after you have finished working out is through the anaerobic exercise of weight training. Weight training is the key to burning fat at rest. Weight training is an anaerobic activity that will cause you to burn more calories than aerobic exercise. The calories that you are burning during weight training exercises are mostly calories from carbohydrates (meaning you must eat even more calories per day for energy); but the calories you burn at rest are mostly calories from fat. The reason you are burning fat at rest is because weight training increases your metabolism which uses your stored fat as energy. To make your body the ultimate fat burning machine you must do aerobic (cardio) and anaerobic (weight training) exercises.
What will carbs do?
Carbs turn into sugar and that is what your body runs on for energy then it stores the leftover sugar and turns into fat, so if u take carbs out of your diet your body needs something else to run on. So it will start burning your body fat and turn it into energy.
What are some of the drawbacks of a fat burning diet?
Weight loss is accomplished through the burning of fat for calories, which happens when the body uses more calories in the course of a day than it has taken in. All weight loss involves the burning of fat. Without "fat burning," there is no weight loss. "Fat burning" is the only kind of diet there is that will result in the reduction of body weight.
How does fat burn while exercise?
When you move your muscles are using(~burning) up energy. Once the easiets avilable sources of energy (carbohydrates and sugars) are used up the body will start to process fat instead.
Will eating carbohydrates add weight to the body?
Yes. Carbohydrates is basically another word for energy. Your body needs them. However, if you eat more than you're burning off then the excess energy will be stored as body fat.
