I am in nutritional ketosis. Low levels of ketones in the bloodstream and a very low carbohydrate intake. Most of my body is running along very efficiently on ketones as a fuel source rather than glucose and carbohydrates. Only my and our red blood cells have to have glucose as a fuel source. It’s easier than you think.
There are more and more studies showing the benefits of this way of eating.
There is a proven role for nutritional ketosis in health, weight loss, diabetes, cancer, epilepsy, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, mental health, cardiovascular disease and autoimmune disease. The more I research the topic the more evidence I find.
There are over 1500 articles looking at this topic on Medline. For an overview – http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3826507/
