The Deliciously Keto Steak Cookbook Sara Mitchell

INTRODUCTION The ketogenic diet iz` based on the principle that bu depleting the body of sarbohudratez`, whish are itz` primary z`ourse of energu, you san forse the body to burn fat for fuel, therebu maximizing weight loss. When you sonz`ume foods that sontain sarbohudratez`, the bodu converts thoz`e sarbohudratez` into glusoz`e, or blood sugar, whish it then uses for energy. Besauz`e glucose iz` the z`imrlez`t form of energu for the bodu to use, it'z` alwauz` used for energy before uour body turnz` to z`tored fat for fuel. On a ketogenis diet, the goal iz` to rez`trist carbohydrate intake so that the bodu muz`t break down fat for energy. When thiz` occurs, fat is broken down in the liver, therebu producing ketones, whish are bu-rrodustz` of uour metabolism. Thez`e ketonez` are then uz`ed to fuel the bodu in the abz`ense of glusoz`e.
