using glucose as fuel, your body burns fat instead.
When you eat a high carbohydrate diet, your
body uses glucose for energy, because it is a lazy source of fuel.

from using glucose to ketones, the quality of your life will improve.
The pancreas produces a hormone called insulin, which helps the
cells use glucose for energy.
Basically, your body is enabled to burn stored fat for energy instead
of using the glucose from the food you eat at each meal.
The brain can no
longer use glucose as fuel, but the coconut oil allows the body to produce ketones as an alternate brain fuel.
When we work out, we start to shift our energy metabolism to anaerobic,
which uses glucose for energy.
If using glucose syrup, you may get away with not churning it although I haven't tested this!
Among other things, this makes a person crave less sugar and
use glucose more efficiently for energy production instead of being stored as fat.
In sport science, it is believed that when performing, the body operates best
by using glucose as its main fuel.
Normally the brain is not able to switch effectively
between using glucose or fat for energy and predominantly relies on that of glucose.
The most common way of testing blood glucose levels for diabetes patients is taking out a drop of blood and checking a patient's blood glucose
using a glucose monitor.
This is because even though they are eating more, the body can't
effectively use the glucose because of low insulin levels, so they are in essence starving.
In other words, cells become more efficient
at using glucose (carbs, sugar) and converting it into potential energy.

starts using glucose can be manipulated.
So people should remember, strength
training uses glucose for fuel, cardiovascular training uses either glucose or body fat, but prefers glucose if it's available.
That's a great thing because muscle is very active and
uses glucose very efficiently, requiring less insulin production.
You also have tissues in your body that
use glucose really well but can't really function on fatty acid metabolism (e.g. your brain).
Once you get keto - adapted (usually 3 - 4 weeks), your body will switch
from using glucose to using ketones and fatty acids as the main source of energy.
Scientists used to think that the brain could
only use glucose as energy and as glucose dropped, brain function would decrease.
The body requires a continual intake of carbohydrates to feed the brain,
which uses glucose (a form of sugar) as its primary energy source.
In diabetes, the body ca
n't use the glucose for energy because it needs insulin to move the glucose to the cells.
So low in carbohydrates that the brain, which
typically uses glucose for energy, adapts to the use of something known as ketones.
And to be clear, metabolic flexibility is the body's ability to shift back and forth
between using glucose (from carbohydrates) and fatty acids (from fat) for fuel.
