Ketosis is a metabolic state characterized by raised levels of ketone bodies in the body tissues, which is typically pathological in conditions such as diabetes or may be the consequence of a diet that is very low in carbohydrates.
The best way for me to explain this diet is with this example of a fire. A fire burns in 3 different ways.
1-A fire burns with kindling (small brush or branches).
2-A fire burns with logs.
3-A fire burns with coals.
Kindling burns really, really fast. A log burns slower… probably an hour or two. Coals burn for a long period of time.
Your body burns energy in 3 different ways also.
1- Carbs
2-Protein
3-Fat
Carbs burn really, really fast. Protein burns at a slower rate but fat burns for a long period of time! You want to burn fat!
