What to eat on the ketogenic diet?
Normally, carbohydrates that you eat (especially sugar) raise insulin
levels, preventing your body from burning fat. But on the keto diet, the lack
of carbs and insulin allows for maximum fat-burning. And when your body
switches to fat as its primary energy source, your liver produces high-energy
ketone molecules during the breakdown of fats. Ketosis occurs when you eat
a very low carb diet
or fast for prolonged periods. In a state of ketosis,
ketone bodies act as a clean-burning, readily available fuel source for your
brain and vital organs.
