What are Ketones? Ketones Explained
When our bodies have little to no glucose to use as fuel, our bodies burn fat. The fat is broken down through the live and our liver produces what is known as Ketones. The most common Ketone is beta hydroxybutyrate (BHB).
Given the high level of carbohydrates most people eat, very few people ever get into Ketosis because there is always an abundance of glucose (sugar) in the blood stream. Until recently, the only way to get into Ketosis was to limit the number of carbs we ate so that our bodies would be forced to burn fat for fuel. This state of “nutritional Ketosis” could take days, weeks or even months to obtains, depending on the person’s adaption rate.
Ketone’s are now being produced that are the exact BHB formulation that the body creates. This means that someone can now be in Ketosis within 60 minutes or less.
