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.
What is Ketosis. Ketosis occurs in the body when a consistently low level of carbohydrates depletes liver glycogen and the body burns fatty acids for fuel, which create ketones as a byproduct. Ketones are a source of fuel, just as glucose is a source of a fuel. Think of it as flipping a switch in your body to pure fat-burning-for-fuel mode.
