Ketone Therapy: The Ketogenic Cleanse and Anti-Aging Diet by Bruce Fife

The ketogenic diet is one that is very low in carbohydrate, high in fat, with moderate protein. This diet shifts the body into a natural, healthy metabolic state known as nutritional ketosis. In ketosis, the body uses fat as its primary source of energy instead of glucose. Some of this fat is converted into an alternative form of fuel called ketones. Ketones are a high-potency fuel that boosts energy and cellular efficiency and activates special enzymes that regulate cell survival, repair, and growth.
