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.
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
on ketones for energy production rather than glucose.

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.
In ketosis, your body relies
on fats
for energy in place of carbs and produces
ketones to fuel your body and brain.

This one doesn't really need to be said, but once your body gets used to functioning
on a keto diet, burning
ketones for energy, your
energy levels can be improved by a lot.
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.
In the German Ketokenic Diet booklet aimed at cancer patients
on how to use diet as a treatment, it is mentioned that it may take some days
for the brain to effectively swap from using glucose into using
ketone bodies
for energy.
Ketones not only provide a high quality source of
energy for the brain but trigger the activation of special proteins that function in brain cell maintenance, repair, and growth, thus providing a therapeutic effect
on the brain.
There may be a potential metabolic advantage of the ketogenic diet but it's mostly due to the appetite suppressing effects of low - carb diets: Expert's Insight: Appetite Control and Caloric Intake
on Low - carb Ketogenic Diets It takes a few weeks
for your body to use mainly
ketones and fat - instead of glucose -
for energy.
It's just a lot easier once you get keto - adapted, because you are not depended

for, as you continue i would definitely agree that coconut oil is AMAZING
on ketogenic diets as is leucine — i would also agree that a ketogenic diet is not the best is one is trying to bulk up... however — yes, coconut oil will allow
ketone bodies to show up in the urine evn when we are eating carbs, but that is only because coconut oil is metabolised in such a way as to provide a very quick source of
energy,
ketones, not because it is actually putting us into a ketogenic state ourselves!
As glycogen levels fall, the body begins to rely more heavily
on fat and its by - products, known as
ketone bodies,
for energy.
