Milk Carlsson - Keto Desserts Cookbook

Keto diet is also known as high fat low carbohydrate diet. It helps to change people eating habits such as high carbohydrate food. Many people use a keto diet as a faster weight loss. Keto diet forces the human body to burn fats instead of carbohydrates. The ketogenic diet contains low carbohydrate and high-fat food which will put your body into the state called as ketosis.

The most important is to take very low carb in diet, which is helpful to reaching ketosis. Normally your body cells use glucose as the main fuel source. Some of the cells are used as a secondary source such as fatty acids and ketone which is known as ketone bodies.

Your body stores excess glucose in the form of glycogen and the glycogen are stored in the liver and muscles. When you reduce carb intake glycogen store also reduced, level of hormone insulin decreases which results in the fatty acid releases from fat stores in your body and your liver converts into ketones when you are doing physical activity or exercise your body used glycogen as a fuel. When you take low carb intake automatically glycogen level is low in your body which is helpful to increase production of ketones. These ketones are used as an alternate source of fuel for your muscles when you are working out in fasted state ketones levels are increased.

Adequate protein intake is necessary for achieving ketosis. To

increase ketones production most of the people cutting protein intake which is not a healthy practice. Protein is necessary to supply with amino acid to the liver for making a new glucose in the body.

When you are doing weight loss diet proteins are the most important role to maintain muscle mass with the low-carb intake. Too little amount of protein intake leads to muscle mass loss whereas the excessive amount of protein intake defeat ketones production. So adequate Protein is necessary for ketosis

When we eat any type of food our body process food into the various types of nutrients and store them into the different forms of energy such as carbohydrate, fats, and proteins. The ketogenic diet is a high-fat diet with adequate protein and low in carbohydrate in medicine used to treat epilepsy in children. The ketogenic diet forces the human body to burn fats instead of carbohydrates. These are converted into different forms of energy and these energies are used for different metabolic processes. When our body absorbs a high amount of carbohydrates and an excess amount of protein body break it down into the form of glucose. When glucose provides the fastest source of (ATP) adenosine and three phosphates which are the primary source of energy used by the human body. When our body consumes calories from carbohydrates, fats and proteins these calories increase the adenosine and three phosphates (ATP) level in our body.

Human body stores this energy into two forms:

• Lipogenesis: When there is enough number of glycogens are available in our muscles and liver these extra glucoses are store in the form of fats in the body and these process of storing fats into the body is called as lipogenesis. Compare to fats glycogens are store in limited forms in our body but fats have no such limits for storage. These fats are sustained our body for months without sufficient foods
• Glycogenesis: When glucose level is increased in our body excess glucose is converted into glycogens and these extra glycogens are store into liver and muscles. If we dont consume other calories within 6 to 24 hours gap. Our body uses these glycogens as an alternate energy source.

When our body does not access any type of foods or you are fasting, sleeping or you have followed a ketogenic diet plan at this stage your body will break down some fats into energy molecules. These energy molecules are called as ketones. Our brain uses sugar as a primary source of fuel so that the brain is much more dependent on secondary energy source from ketones.
