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.
But stored fat is broken down and ketones are made if your diet does not contain enough carbohydrate to supply the body with sugar (glucose) for energy or if your body can't use blood sugar (glucose) properly. Ketones can be tested in a laboratory.ome blood or urine ketone tests: 1  Monitor a person who has diabetes, especially when that person is sick. 2  Monitor a person on a low-carbohydrate diet and/or high-fat diet. 3  Monitor a person who is not able to eat due to anorexia or fasting, who is vomiting a lot, and/or who has diarrhea. 4  Monitor a person who is sick.
