Health The Ketogenic State
When carbohydrate intake drops very low, the body enters ketosis, burning fat for fuel and producing ketones. The liver converts fatty acids to ketone bodies that brain and muscles use for energy. This metabolic state may offer benefits for weight loss, diabetes, and neurological conditions. However, it requires careful management and isn't suitable for everyone.
💡 Did you know?
Your brain normally runs on glucose but can get 70% of its energy from ketones during ketosis!
