A Ketogenic Lifestyle is High in Fat, Moderate Protein and Low Carbohydrates.
The crux of Keto is that you convert your bodies primary fuel to fat instead of glucose. Your body converts the useable fat in your body to create ketones.
Ketones are the most efficient and clean fuel that your body can run on. It’s great for your brain, organs, muscles, etc. Running on glucose, or sugar fuel, burns hot and quick.

Ketones provide a long steady fuel. Think kindling (glucose) versus logs (ketones) in a fire.
In a nutshell, keto turns your body into a ketone fueled, fat burning, machine. Eating in a Ketogenic way allows your body to reach this fat burning process called ketosis.

Intermittent Fasting goes hand in hand with a Ketogenic Lifestyle. Why? Every time calories are consumed insulin is raised in the body. Too much insulin is very damaging and dangerous to the body.
With Intermittent Fasting excess insulin can be reduced, better controlled, and develop more efficient use within the body. The vast majority of the population has excess insulin.

Excess insulin is a killer of ketosis, autophagy, the immune system, fat burning, and optimal health. An excess in insulin is extremely damaging to a person’s health.
Keto’s role in keeping insulin levels steady has to do with the low carb consumption.
Consuming too many Carbohydrates spikes insulin, and the excess insulin then converts carbohydrates to fat. Increasing fat storage on the body.
Eating lower carb (Keto) and eating less frequently (Intermittent Fasting) allows for fat adaptation and fat burning in the body.
