The Ketogenic Bible Quotes

“physiology of diet-induced ketosis involves the lowering of blood glucose, stored glycogen, and insulin levels. The result is an enhanced release and reliance on fat as fuel.”
― Jacob Wilson, The Ketogenic Bible: The Authoritative Guide to Ketosis

“A ketogenic diet is one in which glucogenic (glucose-producing) substrates (non-fiber carbohydrates and glucogenic amino acids) are low enough to force the body to rely primarily on fat as fuel and increase the production of ketone bodies.”

“Yerushalmy and Hilleboe still found a positive correlation between calories from fat and incidence of heart disease, but their takeaways were very different from Keys’s. For example, the death rate from heart disease in Finland was more than twenty times that in Mexico, even though fat consumption rates in the two nations were similar. When the researchers looked at deaths from all causes rather than isolating heart disease, they found that mortality had a negative correlation with fat intake: people in countries with higher fat intakes were actually living longer. When all the data were presented, the only positive correlation with deaths from all causes was consumption of carbohydrates (Yerushalmy and Hilleboe, 1957).”
