I thought in ketosis it wasn't energy expenditure, the liver causes fat to break down and pass through your bladder? ... maybe I have that all back to front tho

- firethief 11y agoThat sounds vaguely like diabetes. In the absence of metabolic disease, the body breaks down fat to use the resulting energy. Think about it evolutionarily; "there's no food right now, time to jettison my energy stores"?
- 1stop 11y agoKetosis is a pretty weird state brought on by lack of carbohydrates. The liver starts producing ketones, ketones rapidly breakdown fat cells to boost blood sugar. It is mostly unrelated to diabetes as that relates to insulin response.
- maxerickson 11y agoBlood sugar is not boosted by ketosis. Ketosis can occur as a result of low insulin (in which case blood sugar will be high). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis#Mechanism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis#Mechanism http://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-glucose/ketosis.html http://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-glucose/ketosis.html
