How to Enter into Ketosis

in biochemistry •  8 years ago 

Ketosis is the metabolic state in which your body predominantly uses fatty acids and ketone bodies for energy production.

This can naturally happen when you fast for longer periods of time or when you follow a ketogenic diet. Ketosis is not to be confounded with keto-acidosis, a condition in which the level of ketones in circulation is far greater than in ketosis. Keto-acidosis mostly happen in people who suffer from Type 1 Diabetes.

In this video I discuss about how to enter ketosis and how to sustain it if this is your 'metabolic' purpose.

I use this program 3 months out of the year to lose weight, and to keep my body fat low. Works great, just remember to just drink water only, year round to keep the fat off.

works good for me as well

Seriously, I think I may need to do this. It's so hard to stick with this sort of thing, but the video is excellent! Thanks for sharing!

thanks for engaging!

Hi Cristi. Could you please tag this with paleo? Over on the paleo tag, we're aiming to gather together useful posts for anybody doing any kind of therapeutic diet. But we're especially keen on Real Food, ancestral, LCHF or keto. Thanks.
