A keto diet is well known for being a low carb diet, where the body produces ketones in the liver to be used as
energy. It’s referred to as many different names – ketogenic diet, low carb diet, low carb high fat (LCHF), etc.
When you eat something high in carbs, your body will produce glucose and insulin.
Glucose is the easiest molecule for your body to convert and use as energy, so it will be chosen over any other
energy source.
Insulin is produced to process the glucose in your bloodstream, by taking it around the body. Since the glucose
is being used as a primary energy, your 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 carbs, the body is induced into a state known as ketosis. Ketosis is a natural process
the body initiates to help us survive when food intake is low. During this state, we produce ketones, which are
produced from the breakdown of fats in the liver.
The end goal of a properly maintained keto diet is to force your body into this metabolic state. We don’t do this
through starvation of calories, but through starvation of carbohydrates. Our bodies are extremely adaptive to
what you put into it – when you overload it with fats and take away carbohydrates, it will begin to burn ketones
as the main energy source.
