The Ketogenic Diet: What to Know
What is Ketosis, and How Does It Work?
Ketosis is a metabolic state where your body burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. This happens when carbohydrate intake is so low that your body’s glycogen stores (its usual energy source) are depleted. In response, your liver begins breaking down fat into molecules called ketone bodies, which provide energy for your brain and body.
Ketosis can occur under several conditions, such as:
Following a very low-carb, high-fat diet (a ketogenic diet).
Prolonged fasting or caloric restriction.
Engaging in extended physical activity without sufficient carbohydrate intake.
