The big fat lie surrounding low-fat diets is that they’re built on the idea that any fats are bad when you’re trying to lose weight. Plus, they are typically higher in sugar and carbs. But by cutting your carb intake and eating mostly healthy fats, you’re triggering your body’s natural process of ketosis.
Ketosis switches your body’s fuel supply from burning carbs, which are converted into glucose, to burning fat, which is converted into ketones — the most efficient, high energy fuel.
