This is likely due to better glucose and insulin control (Alzheimer's disease is often called type 3 diabetes), as well as production
of ketone bodies for fuel.

body into and maintain a state
of ketosis, in which you start converting fat into

for the heart, brain and skeletal muscle in a highly efficient way, but are typically produced by the
body only during periods
of food scarcity and are not naturally present in typical modern diets.
Chromium,

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.
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).
On a Keto Diet your
body isn't in need
of high levels
of glucose due to the fact your
body is mostly being powered by
Ketones (you're not eating foods that allow
for high glucose levels).
A study in the journal Diabetes found that medium - chain triglycerides (MCTs)-- a type
of saturated fat — improve cognitive function when blood sugar is low, encouraging the
body to generate more
ketones for the brain to run on.
Stephen D. Phinney, M.D., Ph.D., author
of The Art and Science
of Low - Carbohydrate Living, has speculated that the
ketone beta - hydroxybutyrate — which your
body will produce when you remove carbs from your diet — replaces the need
for vitamin C, at least in part.
In other words, despite a low - calorie intake, the athletes didn't lose significant amounts
of muscle because their
bodies used
ketones for fuel — not protein from their muscle tissue.
In the same way that your laptop computer has a backup battery when a wall outlet is unavailable,
ketone bodies are the backup power source
for your brain when carbohydrates are out
of reach.
The
ketone bodies are great stimulators
of nerve growth factor, and so they are fabulous, fabulous fuel
for the brain.
In many instances, the
body has been found to function more efficiently burning
ketone bodies for fuel instead
of carbohydrates.
And most cells in your
body, including your brain cells, are also able to use
ketones for much
of their energy.
When people eat fewer carbohydrate, or you dump lots
of fats such as coconut oil into your
body, your
body turns to fat
for it's primary energy source, and generates lots
of ketones in the process.
One case study reports that
for ketone bodies to provide energy to the glucose deprived parts
of the AD brain, BHB levels must rise above 0.2 mM (4).
Instead
of the liver converting carbohydrates into glucose, the liver converts fat into
ketone bodies that it can use
for fuel.
However, there is a growing
body of case studies using exogenous
ketones for PD.
The liver also converts MCT into
ketone bodies the brain can use
for fuel in lieu
of glucose.
Dr Volek and Dr Phinney, The Art and Science
of Low Carbohydrate Performance (2012): «
Ketone bodies are an important lipid - based fuel, especially
for the brain, when dietary carbohydrates are restricted.»
Hi Mandy, during the first few weeks
of the ketogenic diet, your
body will be getting used to
ketones for energy but it will take 3 - 4 weeks to use them effectively.
Ketones are the biproducts
of the chemical reaction
of ketosis, where the
body burns fat to gain energy
for the brain and
body.
Glucose is replaced by
ketone bodies for energy which was previously the role
of carbohydrates in the diet.
Below are the main reasons
for different level
of ketone bodies in your blood and urine:
In ketosis, your
body relies on fats
for energy in place
of carbs and produces
ketones to fuel your
body and brain.
The most commonly accepted theory among scientists as to why keto works
for epileptic patients is that on the diet the number
of ketones in the
body spike.
You can also use a blood glucose meter to test
for high levels
of beta - hydroxybutyrate (BHB), another type
of ketone body.
Your
body must first adapt to using
ketones for fuel, instead
of glucose.
Conclusion:
Ketones become the main source
of energy
for the
body and brain when carb intake and insulin levels are low, and are likely the reason CR extends health span.
The idea
of keto dieting is to use all
of your
bodies glucose reserves and burn
ketones for energy.
--
Ketone bodies mimic the life span extending properties
of caloric restriction (veech, 2017) Ketosis is a metabolic state in which fat provides most
of the fuel
for the
body.
If glucose levels drop too much, the liver synthesizes
ketone bodies as a sort
of back up fuel source
for use by other organs (4).
These fats help to stimulate the production
of ketones, which reduce hunger and cravings and provide a fuel source
for the brain and
body.
By following a ketogenic style
of eating, it is possible to reverse these metabolic defects and take advantage
of the benefits that
ketones have to offer
for our brains and
bodies!
By following a macronutrient ratio
of around 70 % fats, 25 % protein and 5 % carbohydrates
for 2 - 7 days, with your daily net carbohydrate intake limited to 50g or less, your
body will begin to use these circulating
ketone bodies for fuel.
While this is a very accurate way to test
for ketone bodies, you need to keep a ready supply
of test strips on hand.
