During initiation
of ketogenic therapy there is a risk
of hypoglycaemia, acidosis, dehydration and high
levels of ketones (1).
There are various definitions
of what actual constitutes ketosis from a quantitative standpoint, but blood, urine or breath
ketone values above 1.0 mmol are generally considered to indicate a state
of ketosis (and
during exercise, I've seen my own body reach
levels as high as 7.0 mmol).
When the
levels of ketones in her blood becomes 6 - 6.5 (
during all the day) the seizures worsen.
These carb - ups may put you temporarily out
of ketosis and also
ketone levels naturally fluctuate
during the day - that's fine.
The patients themselves logged in their blood sugar and
ketone (molecules produced by the liver from fatty acids
during low carb diet)
levels in an app devised for the purpose
of this study.The investigators monitored the patient's
levels and made adjustments accordingly to avoid hypoglycemic events (where blood sugar
levels drop below normal).
If the primary metabolic change that occurs
during fasting or a ketogenic diet is a wholesale shift away from glucose and toward fatty acids and
ketones for fuel, with the resultant lowering
of blood glucose and insulin
levels and restoration
of insulin sensitivity, then reduced carbohydrate consumption should lead to similar neuroprotective effects.
Consensus statements from leading governing bodies generally recommend that carbohydrate quantities should range from 3 to 12 g kg 1 body weight.9 - 10 However, recent work suggests that LCHF diets that raise blood
ketone levels can increase fat oxidation rates and markers
of health and exercise performance.11 - 12 In addition to increased fat oxidation, other potential benefits
of LCHF eating plans for endurance athletes include improved training and racing energy, lowered incidence
of delayed onset
of muscle soreness, reductions in exogenous caloric requirements
during training and competition, and the reduced incidence
of serious gastrointestinal complaints.13 Although nontraditional, an LCHF eating plan approach has been recommended for athletes in a variety
of sports for nearly 40 years, 14 and this report is representative
of other cases.
During the initial days
of ketosis, exogenous
ketones are useful for increasing your energy
levels.
This all occurred despite lower insulin
levels and higher
ketone bodies present
during the duration
of the ketogenic diet phase.
One
of the reasons people hit the wall
during the marathon is that in order to maintain that high
level of athletic activity they need to go into ketosis, but they don't have enough mitochondria to burn
ketones at that high a
level.
