The mechanism of this MCT -
ketone metabolism appears to be that your
body treats MCTs
as a carbohydrate and not a fat.
Ketones are what your
body produces when it converts fat (
as opposed to glucose) into energy, and a primary source of
ketone bodies are the medium chain triglycerides (MCT) found in coconut oil.
However, a mild walk for 20 to 30 minutes before breaking your fast will burn fat
as that's the point where your
body will try to save glycogen and will switch to fats and
ketones.
This is also why you don't starve to death when you restrict food for weeks at a time, because your
body is able to convert stored fat into
ketones that are used
as fuel instead of glucose.
A case study documented by Dr. Mary Newport discusses
ketone bodies, an alternative fuel for your brain, which can be produced when your
body converts fat (
as opposed to glucose) for energy.
These
ketones act
as a fuel for the
body to produce energy.
Are you prepared to work through «keto flu» and other potential drawbacks
as your
body shifts from glucose to fat (
ketones)
as its dominant fuel source?
This, in turn, releases
ketones as a byproduct which can also be used by the
body as an energy source or fuel.
As for
ketones, they're like superfuel for the
body, generating steady, clean - burning energy with less toxic by - products than glucose (which is great for the brain).
These
Ketone bodies are produced when glucose is not available
as fuel source.
A ketogenic diet focuses on using
ketones as your
body's energy source.
Your liver then responds by converting stored fatty acids into
ketone bodies, to be used
as an emergency backup fuel to keep your brain happy.
