Ketosis

Ketosis is a metabolic state where your body uses fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. When you eat fewer carbs, your body's glucose (sugar) levels drop, prompting it to break down stored fat into molecules called ketones. These ketones then serve as an alternative fuel source for your brain and muscles. This process is natural and can occur during fasting, low-carb diets, or extended exercise. Ketosis can help with weight loss and blood sugar management, but it's important to approach it carefully and ideally under medical guidance to ensure health and safety.
