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.
Ketone test, urine ketones. This test is used to check the level of ketones in your urine. Normally, your body burns sugar for energy. But if you have diabetes, you may not have enough insulin for the sugar in your bloodstream to be used for fuel. When this happens, your body burns fat instead and produces substances called ketones. The ketones end up in your blood and urine. It's normal to have a small amount of ketones in your body. But high ketone levels could result in serious illness or death. Checking for ketones keeps this from happening.
