How does it work?
Modified on: Tue, 11 Dec, 2018 at 12:43 PM
Under normal (more carby) circumstances, your body uses glucose (aka carbs) for energy. When you’re on a keto diet and aren’t consuming as many carbs, your body looks to non-glucose forms of fuel, converting fat into ketones to use as energy. Lower blood sugar → lower insulin → less fat storage, turning you into a “fat burner.”
