What is it?

Ketosis occurs when carbohydrate intake is very low, or energy needs to exceed carbohydrate availability, such as during fasting, prolonged exercise, or a ketogenic diet. The liver converts fatty acids into ketones (acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone) to provide energy for the brain and body.

Benefits of ketosis?

Benefits of ketosis include fat loss due to reliance on fat stores, improved energy efficiency, mental focus in some cases, and potential therapeutic uses for conditions like epilepsy or metabolic disorders.
