Can ketosis be dangerous?
All Ketogenic Diets are high in fat, adequate in
protein and low in carbohydrates. This combination changes the way energy is
used in the body, converting fat into fatty acids and ketones in the liver.
When there is an elevated level of ketones in the blood, one is in a state of
ketosis, which has a variety of therapeutic benefits for the sick and healthy
alike. In addition to the macronutrient ratio, the frequency of eating can
influence ketosis. More specifically, a practice called intermittent fasting,
which reduces the window of time a person eats throughout the day, can help in
obtaining and sustaining ketosis. When the eating window is shortened, the body
is forced to access energy from its own fat stores rather than calories
directly from the diet.
