During ketosis caused by inadequate ingestion of carbohydrates?

During ketosis, the body shifts its primary energy source from carbohydrates to fats due to inadequate carbohydrate intake. This metabolic state occurs when glycogen stores are depleted, leading the liver to convert fatty acids into ketones, which can be used as an alternative fuel source. Ketosis can promote weight loss and improved mental clarity for some individuals but may also lead to side effects like fatigue or nutrient deficiencies if not managed properly. It’s important to approach ketosis with a balanced diet and proper guidance to ensure health and well-being.
