Part-4 Ketosis can lead to health problems like kidney failure. Ketosis is known by Atkins followers as the fat-burning process, and is one of the key factors making the diet different from other approaches. Normally, carbohydrate provides energy, but when the body uses up all its stored carbohydrate, it needs to find another fuel source.
Glucose is a carbohydrate which our brain operates on. When we have shortage of carbohydrates, we start to change protein to carbohydrates. Glucose then influences cells in the pancreas to secrete insulin to eliminate that glucose and take it into tissues to be consume as fuel or stored. Protein and fat intake do not have the same impact on insulin production because the whole point of insulin is to continue with the stability of the sugar level.
Ketosis results from the fatty acids' incomplete metabolism .It comes on when the body is deprived of carbohydrates, its preferred fuel source and turns to its own fat for fuel .Ketosis (so named for ketones, the byproducts of burning fat) is an abnormal metabolic state seen in starvation and uncontrolled diabetes. Ketones can kill, but the healthy body eliminates them straight away --through the kidneys and the lungs (an unfavorable effect of the Atkins diet and is called acetone breath).v
Dieters following the low-fat regimen had a 22% drop in blood fats known as triglycerides and no increase in HDL, or "good" cholesterol. The Atkins dieters experienced a 49% drop in triglycerides and an 11% increase in Dieters are advised to cut out all carbohydrate for the first two weeks before moving on to the second section, where a few carbohydrates are reintroduced. After reaching their target weight, dieters are then told how to maintain the diet. Dieters are encouraged to maintain this level of carbohydrate intake until their weight loss goals are met. During the Pre-maintenance and Maintenance phases, dieters determine the level of carbohydrate consumption that allows them to maintain their weight.
Carbohydrate, in the form of glucose, is the first fuel used to supply energy to our body. Dr Atkins believes that when we decrease our consumption of carbohydrates dramatically, our body change from burning carbohydrates to burning fat as fuel.
