A dietary intake of about 50 grams or less per day of net carbs while also keeping protein low - to - moderate is usually low enough to allow you to make the shift to nutritional ketosis (the metabolic state associated with an increased production
of ketones in your liver; i.e., the biological reflection of being able to burn fat).

in the
liver in a roughly equal ratio (Note: Technically, acetoacetate is created by the mitochondria

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).
Because the OFM athlete is not depleting their glycogen
in typical training he / she will normally experience a serum «
ketone surge» due to a lag
in signaling the
liver to down regulate ketosis to meet the new lower energy requirements
of the body post exercise.
After three weeks, the acclimation (we call it «keto - adaptation») is usually complete and brain cells start to thrive on a mix
of ketones and the small amount
of glucose produced
in the
liver via gluconeogenesis
in the complete absence
of carbohydrates.
Instead, your body uses
ketones, a product
of incomplete breakdown
of free fatty acids (FFA)
in the
liver.
Consuming lots
of short - chain fatty acids, such as those found
in coconut oil, also contribute to the
liver's production
of ketones.
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.
The beauty
of this is the
liver requires minimal action to convert MCTs directly into fuel
in the form
of ketones.
Or is there any evidence that producing
ketones in a state
of NK adds stress to the
liver and therefore can lead to raised Bilirubin levels?
Should this not imply that while
in nutritional ketosis, it would be beneficial to consume some fructose instead
of glucose, since the
liver will burn a lot
of fat anyway to generate
ketones and this way you would keep your insulin down?
In most mammals, fasting conditions will cause an increase in the production of ketone bodies in the liver, which is accompanied by an increase in ketone utilization by the heart, skeletal muscle, brain, and other tissue

But
in case that there is stored sugars and MCT is used

liver will produce
ketones and if the body uses the key tones does the stored sugar get used and out
of the body at some point and does once your
liver converts the MCT and

Contrary to the popular belief that a constant intake

ketone bodies (ketosis)
in ample amounts (under the right conditions) to fuel most
of the athlete's brain & nervous system needs under all but racing or long brick training conditions.
The traditional or modified ketogenic diets should not be used

The brain can only get about 60 %
of it's energy needs from
ketones; it needs the remaining 40 % from glucose which comes from gluconeogenesis
in the
liver from protein and glycerol from triglycerides.
Further, the production
of acetoacyl CoA, a substrate
of ketone body formation, can occur only
in the
liver and thus does not apply to skeletal muscle metabolism.
This type
of diet also keeps your brain functioning well as the brain runs off
of glucose, (
ketones too which will be discussed later), and you should have plenty stored
in your
liver and circulating
in your blood to provide adequate sugar.
Medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil has a special place
in a ketogenic diet, as (unlike other types
of fats) it goes straight to the
liver and can be rapidly used for production
of ketones [2, 3].
This condition seen
in prolonged fasting, type 1 diabetes and high - fat / low - carbohydrate diets leads to the production

in the mitochondrial matrix
in the
liver.6
