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.

Why Keto Flu happens and what to do about it

Image
The keto flu is one of the most despised keto symptoms. This constellation of symptoms feels a bit like the flu virus, except, instead of being caused by a pathogen, it occurs when your body changes its energy source (from carbs to fat), often between the third and seventh day. Keto flu symptoms range from headaches and brain fog to perspiration, dizziness, nausea, stomachaches, irritability, diarrhea or constipation, lack of focus, slowed physical and mental response, fitful sleep, sugar cravings, heart palpitations, and muscle aches. The severity of symptoms varies from person to person: Some keto-eaters barely break a sweat, while others are laid up in bed for up to two weeks. Keto flu is caused by several reactions happening at once: adapting to using fat instead of glycogen for energy, mineral imbalance, dehydration, and lack of micronutrients. There is also the very potent, and often overlooked, factor of carbohydrate withdrawal, a state that is talked about frequently

What it is Keto Dehydration | ketogenic diet

Image
Dry mouth, increased thirst, less puffiness around the eyes and belly. If you’ve just started eating keto and are working toward reaching ketosis, dehydration will be one of the first symptoms you notice. Dehydration usually occurs after three or four days, when your body enters ketosis. To learn why this is, here’s a quick keto chemistry lesson: The simple science behind the keto diet, is this: On a standard mainstream diet, carbohydrates are used to produce energy in the body. When you drastically reduce the amount of carbs you eat, your body begins looking for other sources of energy to fuel its daily functions. In the absence of carbs, your body’s own fat is one of its easiest go-to sources of energy. The process of burning the body’s fat for fuel is called ketosis, and this process is the basis of the ketogenic diet plan. Generally speaking, carbs encourage your body to store water. (For every gram of carbohydrates stored in the body, three grams of water are also stored
