Lipogenesis is the process by which the body synthesizes fats from carbohydrates and other sources.
On a keto diet, where fats are the primary source of energy, lipogenesis may slow down. This is due to low insulin levels, which stimulate the conversion of carbohydrates into fats.
When consuming a high amount of fats and minimal carbohydrates on a keto diet, the body enters a state of ketosis, where fats are broken down into ketones and used as an energy source.
Therefore, it is important to control carbohydrate intake to maintain a high level of fats in the diet and stimulate the burning process, rather than fat accumulation in the body.
