About Ketones | the basics of the keto diet | low carb diet and keto diet


A ketone is a an organic compound containing a carbonyl group =C=O bonded to two hydrocarbon groups, made by oxidizing secondary alcohols. Or, in simple English, ketones (also known as “ketone bodies”) are chemicals produced by your liver as it breaks down fat for energy.
Usually, your body uses insulin to turn carbs into energy. However, when it can’t find enough carbs to make into energy, your body uses fat. Your liver turns this fat into ketones, a type of acid, and sends them into your bloodstream. Your muscles and other tissues then use these ketones for fuel. This is the premise of the ketogenic diet.

According to Google’s 2016 Trend Report, the term “Ketogenic diet” was in the fifth most-searched for diet term searched for last year. Interestingly the keto diet is not a new way of eating. Nor was it originally intended for weight loss. Created in the 1920s as a fringe diet to help epileptics, and has slowly and quietly grown into a diet industry phenomenon. This fat-heavy, carb-shy diet is thought to help heal nervous system disorders (such as epilepsy, seizure disorder and tic disorder), as well as metabolic disorders (including diabetes 1 & 2 and cardiovascular disease).
