Ketone bodies

When restricting carbohydrates, it's not enough to simply limit, suppress, or eliminate carbohydrates (glucose). This is because the body needs "some kind of energy source." If you restrict, suppress, or eliminate carbohydrates (glucose), you must also consider other "energy sources" that the body can utilize...

As explained earlier, "ketone bodies" are short-chain fatty acids produced in the mitochondria of liver cells when glucose in the body is depleted! "Ketone production" is the process of producing ketone bodies, which occurs when glucose in the body is depleted, and involves the production of ketone bodies in the mitochondria of liver cells...

"Ketone bodies" are short-chain fatty acids produced in the mitochondria of liver cells when glucose in the body is depleted! So, we've explained ketone bodies. Now, regarding the question, "What is the difference between 'ketone bodies' and 'short-chain fatty acids'?", simply put, it's the way they are produced...

Ketone bodies are short-chain fatty acids produced in the mitochondria of liver cells when the body's glucose reserves are depleted. Simply put, ketone bodies = short-chain fatty acids. When the body is in a state of starvation and glucose reserves are depleted, ketone bodies become an alternative energy source...
