In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy continues the discussion on carbohydrates and ketogenic diets. He explores the function of carbohydrates in the body, analyzing how they’re utilized for energy, and dives into the metabolic processes of ketosis. Jonathan also explains how the body adapts to low-carb diets, the role of ketone bodies, and the impact of these factors on energy levels and exercise performance.
