Ketone bodies aren't lipids. You should know that...

Gluconeogenesis happens especially when you stop eating for a long while.
If you eat fat, your liver will produce a lot of ketone bodies.

Moreover, op is diabetic.
There is a real risk for him to have acidified blood.

Yeah, op needs to monitor, but as long as your insulin response is adequate your body will make glucose from fat instead of ketone bodies, and the excess fat will inhibit fat storage.

It requires glucagon for your your liver to produce glucose.

And it requires Acetyl-Coa for your liver to produce ketone bodies (there are always Acetyl-Coa molecules in your cells, either when you eat either when you do not eat).

While you eat, you create a lot of Acetyl-Coa and therefore a lot of ketone bodies.
That could cause an acidosis.

But around the meals, ureogenesis is stimulated, and that creates an alcalosis instead.

So, if you do not pee and eat a lot, you may have an acidosis.
If you do not eat for a long time and don't pee, you may have an acidosis.

If you do not eat for a long time, your liver do not produce glucose anymore, and your brain will mostly use ketone acids.
That significates more catabolism & more ketone acids in your blood.



Here are two advises for op:
Do not hold your pee
And do not stop eating for a long time (3+ days)



If you eat a lot, you will have a lot of Acetyl-Coa.
But given the fact you have low glucagon levels, you won't produce a lot of ketone acids.

My A1C is very good for a diabetic like 6.5, and the average is like 9 or something (lower is better). Don't worry about muh health though thanks.

you are welcome

Bump.

how dos keto works ?

The enzymes in your body that store fat are inhibited by fat. Its this way because if they start storing fat while you are releasing fat for energy you will just result in an energy wasting loop.

Protein is also wasteful to convert to fat because it takes a lot of steps.

Sugar is really easy to convert to fat.

So keto is basically just eating the first two and as little of the third as possible. Make it as hard as possible to make and store fat and you wont gain fat.

like low carbohydrate and high fat , sugar ?
