Instead of glucose, the ketone bodies, which are derived from fatty acids in the liver and brain, are offered to the brain as an alternative energy source, as is the case with starvation.

As a general rule, the shorter the carbon chain, the more efficiently the MCT will be turned into ketones, which are an excellent source of energy for your body — far preferable to glucose, as ketones produce far less reactive oxygen species (ROS) when they are metabolized to produce ATAs a general rule, the shorter the carbon chain, the more efficiently the MCT will be turned into ketones, which are an excellent source of energy for your body — far preferable to glucose, as ketones produce far less reactive oxygen species (ROS) when they are metabolized to produce ATas ketones produce far less reactive oxygen species (ROS) when they are metabolized to produce ATP.

Ketones are produced when the body begins breaking down fats into fatty acids and are the body's signal to start using both dietary and body fat as the primary source of energy.

The Ketogenic Diet is one which promotes ketosis: a state where the body uses fat as the main energy source instead of carbs, essentially by converting fat (dietary or stored) into ketone bodies.

In absence of carbs as glycogen the liver releases more ketones which are used as energy source.

Although glucose is known to be the primary source of energy (your body naturally prefers glucose), it's nowhere near as efficient as ketone bodies, especially for the brain.

However, as we get keto - adapted, when we start to utilize ketones as an energy source, the brain gets much more effective and efficient, and it needs less of the sugar.

Without carbohydrates as your primary source of energy, your body will turn to the ketones.

Ketogenic diets have gained popularity for a variety of health benefit claims, but scientists are still teasing out what happens during ketosis, when carbohydrate intake is so low that the body shifts from using glucose as the main fuel source to fat burning and producing ketones for energy.

As discussed, the objective of the ketogenic diet is to encourage the body to get into ketosis and prevent the burning of carbohydrates as an energy source, and instead switch to the burning of ketoneAs discussed, the objective of the ketogenic diet is to encourage the body to get into ketosis and prevent the burning of carbohydrates as an energy source, and instead switch to the burning of ketoneas an energy source, and instead switch to the burning of ketones.

The ketogenic diet revolves around the principle of low carb, high fat, as ketones are a principal source of energy that our bodies need to function.

That means rather than using glucose from carbohydrates as its main energy source, the body uses ketones, a byproduct of fat metabolism.
