I will discuss ketogenic diets in more detail. A few ketogenic diets also influence non-dietary lifestyle changes, such as exercising. Typically, our body uses the carbohydrates we consume as fuel. Our body turns carbohydrates into glucose and raises our blood sugar levels when we eat them. Our body produces insulin in reaction to that elevated blood sugar level.

Insulin directs the cells to store energy as either fat or carbohydrates while our bodies burn glucose for energy.
