RE: KETODIETING FOR WEIGHT LOSS IS SOLELY BASED ON KETOSIS.
The energy produced form ketone bodies during ketosis(a glucose deficient state in which the body falls back to energy sources from ketone bodies production) is proves that life can still continue without a constant carbohydrate source.
At least that is how our ancestors survived.
Does this means proteins are the only food stored as ketone bodies which can be used when glucose is not available?
Or other classes of food too are stored as ketone bodies?
However, I learnt something new today. Nice article.
no.....I think u should go through the article again proteins are not stored as ketone bodies. ketone bodies are formed when fat is broken down
Ooh right!
Maybe I misinterpreted it. Thanks
no problem
Ketogenic amino acids like leucine can be converted to ketone bodies via the TCA cycle and majorly because they can be converted to acetyl coA
