Did you know that the ketogenic diet is one of the most popular diets in America in recent years? It consists of food components that are very high in fat and very low in carbohydrates. It’s about significantly reducing carbohydrate intake and increasing fat intake. Carbohydrate reduction can put your body in a metabolic state called ketosis, which is an elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood. When this happens your body will be able to burn fat for energy. Fat is converted to ketones in the liver and this can help fuel the brain. This has several benefits and can help treat some diseases such as diabetes and epilepsy. The ketogenic diet has the ability to repair dysfunctional metabolic pathways, ultimately leading to recovery and healing. When intermittent fasting is done on keto, the results are amazing.
