Question

Suppose John goes on a 700 calorie, low-carbohydrate/high-protein diet. Where will John get his glucose? What will happen to John’s body? Is she likely to experience ketosis? What symptoms is he likely to experience if he attempts to limit his carbohydrate intake and stays on this diet very long? Use scientific evidence, not opinion, for your answer.

Answer 1

When we take low carbohydrate diet it control the glucose level..When people eating less carbohydrate their body turn fat for energy,it produce more ketones..Ketones are molecules generate during fat metabolism,when fat converted into energy,more ketones are produced..It make lot serious side effects in our body..When body burning lot of fat for energy it will not get enough glucose..Our body can convert some of the protein we eat into glucose..Patient is compensating his glucose level with high protein diet..Patient is taking low carbohydrate and high protein so she is on nonketogenic diet..The use of protein make significant improvement in blood glucose regulation in response of carbohydrate challenge..
