How does the keto diet work?

Ketone bodies are produced in the liver when the carb intake falls very low, and your blood sugar levels are deficient. These ketones are produced from fat. So your body, instead of using the glucose from the carbs in your food, uses the stored fat in your body for its overall working.

The process of ketosis occurs in the body when these ketone bodies get into your bloodstream. You might also experience ketosis while fasting, sleeping overnight, or even while exercising. It is basically the process of fat burning in the body. It depends on the person who faster he will get into ketosis after initiating the keto diet.
