What is "KETOSIS " and "KETO DIET"

Ketosis is a metabolic state in which your body uses fat and ketones (chemically known as ketone bodies) are byproducts of the breakdown of fatty acids. Fat for fuel breakdown and creation of ketones is a normal process for everyone . When there is not enough glucose left in the body for energy, it starts burning stored fats instead; this results in a build-up of acids called ketones within the body. 

Glucose is stored in your liver and released as needed for energy. 

When carb intake gets extremely low glucose that is stored in our body get used up as an energy resource. 

KETOSIS PROCESS

In the Ketogenic diet. it includes Ketosis that can provide you with an alternative source of energy in order to perform well. In ketosis, your body produces ketones at an accelerated rate. Ketones, or ketone bodies, are made by your liver from fat that you eat and your own body fat. The main meaning of  LCHF is low carb high fat. That is the intake of low carb and high amount of fat. 

Even when on a higher-carb diet, your liver actually produces ketones on a regular basis. However, when glucose and insulin levels decrease on a carb-restricted diet, the liver ramps up its production of ketones in order to provide energy for your brain.

Although both fasting and a keto diet will allow you to achieve ketosis, only a keto diet is sustainable over long periods of time. In fact, it appears to be a healthy way to eat that.

Some people follow a diet to encourage KETOSIS and these diets usually called a ketogenic diet or low carb diet.

What is “KETO” diet? 

The ketogenic or “keto” diet is a low-carbohydrate, high amount of fat eating a diet plan that has been used for centuries to treat specific medical conditions. The ketogenic diet mainly used to treat diabetes in early then it became an effective treatment for epilepsy in children in whom medication was ineffective. The ketogenic diet has also tested and used for cancer, diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, and Alzheimer’s disease.

However, this diet is gaining considerable attention as a potential weight-loss strategy due to the low-carb diet nowadays 

The keto diet aims to force your body into using a different type of fuel. Instead of relying on sugar (glucose) that comes from carbohydrates (such as grains, vegetables, and fruits), the keto diet relies on ketone bodies, a type of fuel that the liver produces from stored fat. Thus you started loose body fat.
