Hello, ketogenesis literally means that fat produces ketone bodies during metabolism, specifically fatty acids when fat is decomposed again. The unique intermediate metabolites of fatty acids during liver decomposition and oxidation are ketone bodies, including acetoacetic acid, β -hydroxybutyric acid and acetone. A large amount of acetyl coenzyme A produced by fatty acid β oxidation in mitochondria can not only provide energy through oxidative phosphorylation, but also synthesize ketone bodies. However, the liver cannot use ketone bodies because it lacks an enzyme system that uses ketone bodies. Since ketogenic diet is high in fat, low in sugar and low in protein to treat epilepsy, we should pay attention to high fat and try to eat less carbohydrates and protein.

High-fat foods such as fat meat and various fried foods.

There should be nothing you can't eat, but because fat is the main energy source, you should reduce foods with high starch and sugar content such as rice, pasta and candy, and eat less foods with high protein content such as chicken, duck and fish.
