Keto Fit Today: Foods You Can and Cannot Eat on the Ketogenic Diet - 2 minutes read


Keto

The ketogenic diet is made up of food components that are very high in fats and very low in carbohydrates.

Ketosis, an elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, occurs because fat is converted into ketones in the liver. This happens when there is a minimal amount of carbs in the diet and a high amount of fats. The liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies enabling the body to burn fat for energy and this can help supply energy to the brain.
