How Does It Work?
This food regimen works on the low-carb principle. Your body produces ketones so that you can use them to produce energy. When you eat something that has a lot of carbohydrates, your system is just going to turn them into sugar, which is unhealthy and dangerous.
Once your body gets used to using glucose as its main energy source, your body just stores all the fat in your body. You can control this by following the Keto Diet.
