Abstract in brief

The article reviews how nutritional ketosis can help with weight management and address metabolic syndrome by improving markers like cholesterol, blood sugar, and inflammation, and highlights its benefits in reducing hunger and promoting satiety.
It explains that ketogenesis, the process behind nutritional ketosis, occurs when carbohydrate intake is low, leading to low insulin levels and the body using fat stores for energy instead of carbs.
The paper emphasizes that humans are naturally able to switch to burning fat for fuel (metabolic flexibility), which supports fat loss, muscle preservation, and better insulin sensitivity during periods of low carbohydrate intake.
