Humans had to survive situations of food shortage during their evolutionary history. Thereby the metabolic switch ensures a constant energy supply. It is thus an elementary ability to live from the body's own reserves in the times of food shortage. In the eating state the body burns mainly glucose for energy production. During fasting the metabolism switches from glucose burning to ketosis thereby using mainly fat and ketone bodies. The reintroduction of food leads to the switchback of the metabolism. This is followed by a regeneration phase.This change to switching back and forth of the metabolism is called metabolic flexibility. Today's lifestyle limits our metabolic flexibility due to overeating, missing

What is ketosis? Fasting and Ketosis | Buchinger Wilhelmi
Hello and welcome everybody to another Q&A about fasting with Dr. François Wilhelmi de Toledo. Hello Françoise! Thank you for taking the time once again to answer some of our followers questions. Hello Lisa, hello everybody! Today quick and simple short question. Can you please explain what is ketosis? I will do it in a very simple way not so scientific because finally this is a phenomenon that everybody possess in its own program, its own genetic program, and without ketosis, without the capacity of coming into ketosis you couldn't live as a species. You can survive in a planet like the earth where you have periods where no food is produced from the earth. And I'm talking about the prehistoric time because today everybody has
