A ketogenic diet, sometimes just called the keto diet, is well known for being a low carbohydrate diet, where the body produces ketones in the liver to be used as energy. It’s referred to by many different names – ketogenic diet, low carbohydrate (carb) diet, low carb/high-fat diet and the like. It is significantly different from the Atkins, Paleo or Mediterranean Diets.
When you eat something high in carbohydrates, like the typical American eating program, your body will produce glucose and insulin:
- Glucose is the easiest molecule for your body to convert and use as energy. It will be chosen over any other energy source as it is the simplest way to make energy.
- Insulin is produced to process the glucose. It also promotes conversion of glucose into stored fat.
When glucose is being used as the primary energy source, fats are not needed and are therefore stored. Typically, on a normal, higher carbohydrate diet, the body will use glucose as the main form of energy. By lowering the intake of carbohydrates, the body is induced into a state known as ketosis or fat burn.
Ketosis is a natural process the body initiates to help us survive when food or calorie intake is low. During this state, we produce ketones, from the breakdown of fat in the liver. When you follow a keto diet you switch your metabolism from sugar burn to fat burn.
The goal, of a properly maintained keto diet, is to force your body into this metabolic state. We obtain fat burn, and thus the formation of ketones, not through starvation of calories, but by starvation of carbohydrates. This is a key point to remember!
Your body is incredibly adaptive to what you put into it – when you overload the body with fats and take away carbohydrates, it will begin to burn ketones as the primary energy source. Optimal ketone levels offer many health benefits including weight loss, better blood sugar control, reduction of blood fats and enhanced physical and mental performance.
