Keto adoption essentially means that your body is running
on ketones for fuel (as opposed to glucose).
But before it can build new fat - burning mitochondria and retrofit the existing ones to take advantage of all the free fatty acids you have at your disposal, your body will rely
on ketones for its energy.
Being in ketosis is simply the state in which your metabolism functions primarily
on ketones for fuel.
As your body draws
on ketones for energy, you'll effectively enter and strive to stay in ketosis.
A ketogenic diet restricts carbohydrate intake to between 20 and 50 grams per day, causing the body to rely

Although your brain is more dependent
on glucose than your heart, your liver can produce a
ketone - like compound that your brain can efficiently use
for energy
Since the state of ketosis forces cells to rely
on ketones and to use the mitochondria
for energy, ketosis feeds healthy cells while starving cancer cells.
When we switch from burning glucose to burning
ketones for energy, the blood sugar and insulin fluctuate much less than when we rely
on carbohydrates
for energy.
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.
The only way to be sure is by testing your blood glucose and
ketone levels with a monitor (we like the Precision Xtra, available
on amazon.com
for $ 40).
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).
Your brain is so picky in fact, it is specifically designed to operate
on glucose
for 99.9999 % of your waking life, and only switches to oxidizing
ketones when carbohydrates are in short supply in your diet.
Ketones are manufactured by your liver as a backup fuel source
for your brain to protect against brain starvation
on a low - carbohydrate diet.
I base this
on the book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease by Dr. Thomas Seyfried, in which he advises that there is a window of effectiveness of therapeutic ketosis
for cancer that uses a glucose to
ketone ratio of 1.0.
So I've accepted that
for me, if I'm sitting around 2.0 instead of 1.0, or even a little higher, well, this is all early days of research, those numbers are based
on rodent experiments, and I believe what I'm doing is beneficial in any case, so I try to get as low as I reasonably can
on blood sugar, and as high as I can
on ketones, and then cut myself a break!
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.
Dr. Justin Marchegiani: So regarding with diet piece — so ketosis, there's like nutritional ketosis where you're cutting your carbs down significantly where you're starting to rely
on ketones, these fatty acid esters
for fuel.
I'm not aware of any evidence proving that cycling in and out of ketosis in this manner is harmful, but to reach a state of ideal
ketone utilizing and fat burning efficiency, it may be necessary to stay in a state of ketosis
for months and even years
on end.
Getting into nutritional ketosis is one thing, but just because you're registering 2.0 mmol / L

A classical ketogenic diet — with a staggering 70 - 90 percent of total calories coming from fat — might not be necessary.51 Classical ketogenic diets restrict protein as well as carbohydrate, since 48 - 58 percent of the amino acids in dietary proteins can be glucogenic, thereby undermining the purpose of a diet intended to generate a high amount of
ketones and limit glucose as much as possible.46 As therapy
for AD, however, simply lowering carbohydrate intake to a point where some
ketones are generated and hyperinsulinemia is corrected could have positive effects just by easing the metabolic burden
on the brain.

ketones] most of the time.)
Would you say that this is solely due to acclimatisation or is there some part of the fat burning /
ketone production that raises your inner core temp beyond what would be normally
for those
on a high carb diet?
Truth be told, our brains can function
on ketones, fat - metabolism byproducts and key energy sources in low to very low carb diets, which some say may be even healthier yet
for our noggins.
