How To Get Into Ketosis

How To Get Into Ketosis : Achieving the metabolic state of glycolysis is the result of eating a high-carb diet

Where the largest percent of body energy comes from blood glucose. In glycolysis, your blood glucose levels surge after each meal, leading to elevated insulin levels, which encourage the storage of body fat and prevent the release of fat from your adipose, otherwise known as fat storage tissues.

In contrast, a low-carb, high-fat diet induces a metabolic condition known as ketosis. 

Ketosis is defined as the process where fat is converted into ketone bodies, otherwise known as ketones, which it uses as its main energy source.

When you are in ketosis, your body rapidly burns fat for energy purposes, and continuously releases and consumes stored fat.

Your body will naturally go into this state whenever you are low on carbohydrates for a few days.

To maintain our survival, both protein (amino acids) and fats (fatty acids) are necessary 

Moreover, the concept of essential carbohydrates simply does not exist. Instead, the majority of cells in our bodies run on glucose and ketones for energy.

The liver converts glycerol from dietary fats into glucose via the process of gluconeogenesis, for cells that can only take up glucose, such as some brain regions.

Maintaining a constant state of nutritional ketosis is the fundamental objective of the keto diet, but remember it typically takes four to eight weeks to become fully keto-adapted for those who are just beginning the ketogenic diet. 

Once your body has adapted to the keto diet

Your levels of glycogen (the glucose stored in your muscles and liver), water retention, muscle endurance, and general energy are generally higher than before.

Additionally, compared to when you weren't keto-adapted, you recover to ketosis considerably faster if you accidentally eat too many carbohydrates.

Furthermore, once you have become keto-adapted, you may often consume up to 50g of carbohydrates per day without risking losing ketosis.
