🤔 So... What Are Ketones, Anyway?
Ketones are little energy molecules your body makes when it runs low on carbs. Basically, when you're not eating much sugar or carbs—like when you're fasting or on a keto diet—your body switches gears and starts burning fat instead. That fat gets turned into ketones, which your body then uses for fuel. 🔥
đź’ˇ Why Should You Care About Ketones?
When your body is making ketones, it’s in fat-burning mode. Here’s why that matters:
- 🔋 Energy boost – Ketones give your body (and especially your brain!) an alternative energy source when carbs are low.
- 🔥 Fat-burning support – Since ketones are made from fat, your body is literally burning fat to fuel itself.
- ⚖️ Weight loss help – This is a big reason why so many people try keto diets—they encourage the body to tap into stored fat.
So if you're cutting carbs and your body's making ketones, you're not just surviving—you're thriving on fat power! 💪🥑
