Publisher's Synopsis
What is the ketogenic diet? The ketogenic diet is an isocaloric diet rich in fat and very low in carbohydrates and majorly allows the body to modify its metabolism without being hungry. This regime is distinguished by the appearance of bodies called "ketones" in blood and urine. The liver produces ketones from fat whenever the body has fasted for more than one day or has absorbed sufficient calories from fat without being accompanied by fat. Among the ketones are acetoacetic acid, acetone (which is removed by exhaling and which produces a "fruity" smell when a person is suddenly in strong ketosis), and beta-hydroxybutyric acid. Chemically speaking, the latter is not a ketone, but physiologically it is assimilated to ketones because it appears wherever there is a production of acetoacetic acid.
