Ketogenic state is a completely normal metabolic state. Newborn babies who are exclusively breastfed will enter the ketogenic state within 12 hours after birth. If your diet is very low in carbohydrates, moderate in protein and high in healthy fats (saturated fat and monounsaturated fat), the concentration of ketone bodies in your body will increase until ketone bodies become the main energy source of your body, and then your body can operate with very little glucose.
During the extremely low carbohydrate diet, serum glucose and insulin levels are extremely low, and ketone bodies can be used as alternative fuels to power the brain, heart and most human organs. Compared with glucose, ketone body is the priority fuel of the heart, and it can provide energy for most brain cells as efficiently as glucose. More and more studies have found that ketone bodies can have beneficial effects on aging, inflammation, metabolism, cognitive level and sports performance. Keeping ketone body state, fat as the main fuel, when ketone body concentration is enough, brain thinking is enhanced, and controlling blood sugar level can make people healthier and live longer.
Ketogenic diet is an excellent way to reduce fat. When you burn fat, you will produce ketone bodies. When you get used to ketogenesis, your energy sources are mainly body fat and fat in food. However, when you eat too much carbohydrates, they will be converted into body fat, and in this case, body fat is difficult to be burned by the body. Entering the ketogenic state is entering the fat burning paradise.
Nutritive ketogenesis can make the body start to burn fat and produce ketone bodies to supply energy, which can only be achieved through a diet with low carbon water, moderate protein and high fat.
The method of limiting calories is not very effective for most people. On the contrary, a ketogenic diet will make you less hungry, and it will improve your brain function. Isn't it wonderful to let your brain guide how much you should eat and let your brain control it?
Ketogenic diet can improve many chronic diseases and health conditions. Ketogenic diet may be the diet of most hunter-gatherers on earth, except in tropical areas, because these areas may be rich in fruits for most of the year. Since the beginning of the 20th century, it has been found that many Inuit living in the Arctic are in a state of ketogenesis, and it is very rare for them to suffer from chronic diseases.
