The Art and science of low carb living
Dr Stephen Phinney

Summary: Defining the parameters of eating Low Carb and the health reasons for doing so. Reviewing the science behind this way of living.

Focus on:
- weight loss or maintenance on a Ketogenic Diet.
- A Ketogenic Diet is one in which your body is Keto-adapted
- Nutritional Ketosis is a metabolic adaptation which allows your body to derive most of your daily energy needs from fat either directly as fatty acids or indirectly by ketone bodies made from fat. Your brain uses ketone bodies and not exclusively glycogen.
- Nutritional Ketosis is a benign metabolic state and is not diabetic ketoacidosis, seen in type -1 diabetes or in the late stage of type-2 diabetes with advanced pancreatic burn out.
- Liver ketone production
