How Does a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) Work?
While following a VLCD like the Exante Diet Total Solution your body will consume fewer calories than your body requires on a daily basis creating a calorie deficit. After 2-4 days your body will enter a normal metabolic state called Ketosis where your body will use its fat stores to produce energy. Even if you weren’t following a diet most people will enter a state of ketosis at some point in a 24-hour cycle, usually when asleep.
Your body initially uses up its energy reserves of glycogen before starting to burn fats from its fat stores; this process normally begins after 3 - 4 days of the programme. When the glycogen stores are used up, your body will then switch its main energy source to burning your fat. When fat is burned rapidly the body produces a by-product called ketones and the person is said to be in ketosis.
