There are two sources of fuel for the human body: glucose and fatty acids. Fat is an energy that can be stored in excess in the body, leading to weight gain. Learning to efficiently access this fat for energy — instead of accessing glucose — is key for weight loss. This idea is the basis for the ketogenic diet, which has grown in popularity over the past few years.
Prior to the advent of effective anti-seizure and diabetic medications, the ketogenic diet (a high- fat, moderate-protein, and low-simple-carbohydrate/sugar diet) was the approach doctors used with patients to not only prevent seizure attacks but also to control type 2 diabetes. Today, we are once again realizing the health benefits of reducing simple carbohydrates and total sugars in our diets — for a wider population.
