Metabolism

Metabolism is a complex process in the body, during which food is converted into energy.

On the keto diet, metabolism occurs in a special way due to a change in the energy source. Normally, the body gets energy from carbohydrates, but on the keto diet, the main source of energy is fats.

When the carbohydrate intake decreases, the body starts breaking down fats into ketones, which are then used for energy production. This process is called ketosis.

Ketosis promotes fat burning and can be beneficial for weight loss.
