What is Ketosis?
Ketosis is a process by which the body turns fat into energy. Typically, your body runs on glucose, created when carbohydrates are broken down. When you reduce your carb intake, your body searches for other ways to create energy. Your blood sugar drops, fat is released from your cells, and the liver then turns the fat into energy.
