happens when the body is almost completely fueled by fat.
This is normal when you are fasting or on a strict low-carb diet, also referred to as a keto diet.
The “keto” in the word ketosis comes from “ketones”, the name given to small fuel molecules in the body.
These ketones are produced when your food includes very few carbs (the main source of blood sugar) and moderate amounts of protein (too much protein is converted to blood sugar).
When you do this, the fat you consume is converted in the liver to ketones which then enter the bloodstream.
The ketones are then used as fuel by the cells in the body, just like glucose.
Even the brain uses them.
This is very important, as the brain (which is a very hungry organ) cannot be directly fueled by fat.
Your body is in ketosis when it produces enough ketones to measure significant levels in the blood (usually over 0.5 mM).
The fastest way to achieve ketosis is by fasting, but you can’t do that forever.
Ketosis gives your body and brain an almost unlimited supply of energy, increasing your mental and physical endurance.
It also reduces hunger, speeding up your weight loss.
Also, because getting into ketosis requires eating little carbs, it can help reverse type 2 diabetes.
It has also been used for a long time to control epilepsy – usually even without medications.
It is even showing great results in improving several other conditions such as acne, PCOS and even brain cancer.
