The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain function. However, if there are not enough carbohydrates in the diet, then fats can be used as an alternative fuel. The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose which is why it is so important to consume a large amount of fiber and healthy protein when on this diet. By switching from a high carbohydrate diet to a low-carbohydrate diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The fatty acids are converted into ketone bodies which act as an alternative energy source.
