fasting-induced ketosis
Fasting-induced ketosis refers to a metabolic state where the body shifts its primary source of energy from glucose to ketones during periods of prolonged fasting or carbohydrate restriction. In this state, the liver produces ketones from stored fat, which are used as an alternative fuel source by the body to sustain basic bodily functions and provide energy.
