1. The so-called ketogenic means that the body uses fat to produce ketone bodies when glucose is not available for energy supply, and some patients may be applying this principle to skip meals and eat less carbohydrates and proteins, which makes the fat use increase to achieve the effect of weight loss.

2. But this method of weight loss is very unfavorable to the health of the body, because the body will produce ketone bodies while burning a lot of fat.

3. Ketone bodies mainly include acetone, hydroxybutyric acid and acetoacetic acid, which are very strong acids, and if too much can cause ketonemia, which can cause ketosis and ketonemia, which can cause some damage to the organism, so it is not recommended for patients to lose weight with ketogenic methods.

4. A ketogenic-diet, or KD, is usually a diet that is very low in carbohydrates, moderate in protein, and high in fat, and is designed to induce ketosis or ketone body production.

5. Ketone bodies serve as an alternative energy source for neurons and other cells that cannot directly metabolize fatty acids, and urinary ketone levels are often used as an indicator of dietary compliance.

6. The "classic" ketogenic diet is usually a medically supervised, very low-carbohydrate diet with a 4:1 or 3:1 ratio of dietary fat to dietary protein to carbohydrates.
