What is Ketosis?

Ketosis is a normal metabolic process. When the body does not have enough glucose (sugar/carbs) for energy, it burns stored fats instead; this results in a build-up of acids called ketones within the body.  

Starch (Corn, whole wheat, beans etc.) turns into simple sugar in your body.  

If you eat sugar, you feel hungry, tired and not healthy.  Your body will store that sugar as fat.  Then your body is running on sugar not fat.
 
Essentially, you will be turned into a fat burning machine on the keto diet 24/7 even when you are sleeping. We eat almost no carbs (20 grams of NET carbs per day), your body runs out of the sugar and then it starts burning fat!  If you are still consuming sugar (carbs) your fat will not be burned as the body more easily burns sugar than fat.

The great thing is, we get energy from fat!

On the ketogenic diet, when you run out of sugar/carbs, the body (your liver) converts the fat into energy molecules called Ketones; which are a great fuel for our bodies.   We call this Ketosis. It's really your body being fueled by fat, not sugar.

This is a good thing! The body only runs on 2 things, sugar or fat.  Nothing else.
When we derive our bodies of sugar (carbs) we burn the fat that is in our body, thereby losing weight!
​

The fat satiates you, so you can lose weight without being hungry!

Eat when you are hungry, you won't need to eat so often as you feel satiated.  You don't even need to exercise to lose weight, although exercise is certainly important to your body, it's not a component of weight loss!
