Normal healthy cells readily adapt to using
ketone bodies for fuel, but most cancer cells lack this metabolic flexibility.
Therapeutic ketosis causes the body to shift from using glucose to fatty acids and

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.
Your cells have the metabolic flexibility to adapt from using glucose
for fuel to using
ketone bodies, which come from the breakdown of fats — hence the name «ketogenic.»
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.
Dr. Mary Newport writes about
ketone bodies, an alternative fuel
for your brain which your
body makes when digesting coconut oil, and how coconut oil may offer profound benefits in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.
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.
At low intensities, you're burning mostly fat and
ketones for fuel so that your
body could spare its muscle glycogen
for higher intensities.
Unless you've already been eating a paleo or primal diet and are somewhat keto - adapted (burning
ketones for fuel), it is a good idea «reset» the
body in order to regain the metabolic flexibility to go into ketosis or even stay in ketosis despite eating some carbohydrates.
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).
Also, though it wasn't his goal, Munsey's
body stayed in a low level of ketosis throughout the five - week diet (he tested
ketone levels to know
for sure).
It is ketogenic because when the carbs are kept very low and protein is not too high, then the
body will switch from a dependence on burning glucose
for energy and will start burning
ketones.
