A ketogenic diet is a diet that is low in carbohydrates, high in fat, and has a moderate level of protein. How Do Ketogenic Diets Work? Our bodies prefer to burn carbs for fuel before it burns fat, so a ketogenic diet forces our bodies to use our fat as fuel, which leads to weight loss. Ketogenic diets work because consuming a low amount of carbs causes our metabolism to go into a state called ketosis. This happens when there is an increase in ketones in our bloodstream. Ketones are created when our bodies use fat as fuel. These ketones are a form of fuel that helps the body burn fat as the main source of fuel, instead of using the glucose (sugar) from carbs. Why A Ketogenic Diet for Vegetarians? Ketogenic diets have long been used as a treatment for epilepsy and for diabetes, however, people also use it to lose weight.…
from other diets in the sense that it emphasizes a greater intake of fat relative to the intake of carbohydrates. According to the traditional view of nutrition, carbohydrates are considered to be the primary source of energy to the human body next to fat and protein. However, proponents of the ketogenic diet suggest that the ketogenic diet, enhances the rate of fat oxidation. This promotes the production of ketone bodies, which are then used as a source of energy (Burke et al). The ketogenic…
Question 1. Using medical terminology describe the symptoms Mr. B is complaining about. Mr. B has described polydipsia as a feeling of very thirsty and complained polyuria as frequent urination. Question 2. What does HbA1c measure? HbA1c refers to glycated haemoglobin which develops when haemoglobin joins with glucose in the blood, becoming ‘glycated’ (Choudhary& Kishanrao, 2015). The HbA1c test counts the number of glycosylated red blood cells and reports it as a percentage (Little& Sacks,…
of the change of the groups that are attached to specific inorganic ions (such as Ce4+). The Chromic Acid test results positive for primary or secondary alcohols or aldehydes. Primary alcohols will be oxidized to aldehydes and aldehydes are oxidized to carboxylic acids. Secondary alcohols will be oxidized to ketones. However, tertiary alcohols will not be oxidized. The oxidization is done through the addition of the alcohol oxygen to chromium, and the removal of a proton from the carbon by a…
alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, esters, nitriles, and amides. If the unknown remained insoluble with water it was combined with a 5% Hydrochloric acid solution to further determine its solubility: if the unknown was found soluble in that solution it was classified as either B or MN. If insoluble there was a two part test that needed to occur. First the solution was added to a 96% sulfuric acid solution to determine its solubility. If the unknown was insoluble with the addition of the sulfuric…
What is the Unlimited Spirit, Limited Spirit and Corporeal Bodies? We differentiate three distinct types of beings here. One is the highest good in which nothing can surpass.

checks every window one last time, and finding no lights or sounds outside, she lifts the pot up. It seems agonizingly heavy to her weak arms, and she hastily sets it down on the floor and lifts the lid. There is nothing but a large, grimy-looking chunk of meat in plain boiling water. They’ve eaten everything else there is, even the shriveled, unripe mini tomatoes on her decorative plant. It died more than two months ago, and the small, dried fruits tasted like sand when she tried to eat them. A…
