Ketones have been getting a lot of hype in the media of late and we wanted to explain why. Further evidence has shown that beyond fat, carbs and protein, there is a fourth (and possibly most effective) means to fuel your body.
An American company HVMN have teamed up with Oxford University and spent over $60 million on research into Ketones and how these effect the body.
So, what are Ketones?
Ketones are what the body naturally produces when it burns fat at a rapid rate. When the body has depleted levels of glycogen, it turns to using fat as fuel instead. This is where the body enters a state of ketosis and the ketones work their magic.
Ketosis-based Diets
Our Total Solution plan works on reducing your calorie and carbohydrate intake, in order to allow your body to enter in to a state of ketosis. A lot of the food we eat day to day contains carbs; fruit, vegetables, pasta, bread, the list goes on. All of these are broken down in to glucose and then used as a source of energy.
However, when we reduce the intake of such foods and restrict the amount of carbohydrates we eat, the body turns to fat as a source of energy instead, meaning greater weight loss results. All of our Exante meal replacement products have been specifically formulated to allow you to enter a state of ketosis, when following our Total Solution plan strictly.
