Ketosis is the natural metabolic state in which your body uses ketones for its main source of energy. The average ketogenic dieter eats between 75% and 80% of their calories from fat, 15% to 20% from protein and less than 5% from carbohydrates. When you restrict your intake of carbohydrate...
Ketosis is a metabolic process in which your body shifts from using glucose as its primary energy source to usingketone bodiesderived from the breakdown of stored fat. Normally, your body relies on carbohydrates for energy, which are broken down into glucose molecules and transported into your cel...
Nutritional ketosis is a natural metabolic state in which your body is fueled mainly by fats and ketones, instead of carbohydrates (glucose). Nutritional ketosis happens when carbohydrate consumption goes low enough that a person’s liver can convert adi

What Happens to the Human Body when it Goes into KetosisArjun Walia
Ketosis is a metabolic state in which your body uses fat as its main energy source. Normally, the body uses glucose, or sugar, as its primary fuel. When carb intake is very low, your liver produces lots of ketones, which are fat-like compounds that your brain and other organs can use...
When you eat less than 50 grams of carbs a day, your body eventually runs out of fuel (blood sugar) it can use quickly. This typically takes 3 to 4 days. Then you’ll start to break down protein and fat for energy, which can make you lose weight. This is called ketosis. It's ...
This process, known as ketosis, occurs when the body's carbohydrate stores are depleted, typically through a low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet. There are three types of ketones: beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), acetoacetate, and acetone. BHB is the most abundant and is used as an energy source ...
A proper ketogenic diet is th key to the right level of nutritional ketosis in the body. In a ketogenic diet, most sources of carbohydrates are eliminated, which include: Fruits (except for raspberries and blueberries, which are low on insulin and glycemic index) ...
What is ketosis? Carbs are one of two major fuels for the body. We can also burn fat for energy, but the brain can’t burn fat directly. Instead, when eating very low carb, fat is converted in the liver to ketones that are released into the blood stream. This is a great fuel for...
