The result is the synthesis of ketone bodies. The liver canât use ketones, which is actually a safety measure to make sure the liver dumps them into the bloodstream for the use of other body tissues. For the first few weeks of a low carb diet, muscles and all other body tissues do use ketones for fuel.This is a preservation mechanism, and the purpose is to save any available glucose for the brain.ne is that when we go on a low carb diet, we are burning ketones for fuel. The idea was probably born due to the fact that the heart and a few other body tissues prefer to use ketones over any other fuel source.
DKA (Ketoacidosis) & Ketones. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious condition that can lead to diabetic coma (passing out for a long time) or even death. When your cells don't get the glucose they need for energy, your body begins to burn fat for energy, which produces ketones. Ketones are chemicals that the body creates when it breaks down fat to use for energy. The body does this when it doesnât have enough insulin to use glucose, the bodyâs normal source of energy.
