What Is Ketosis? A Plain-English Primer

By the Burn Force Wellness Desk · Updated October 2026
In short: Ketosis happens when low carbohydrate intake leads the liver to make ketones from fat. Diet drives it, and a supplement cannot do it for you.

How Ketosis Works

With very few carbs, the body makes ketones from fat and uses them for fuel alongside glucose.

How People Get There

Mostly by eating very low carbohydrate, often under 50 g a day, though needs vary and a strict keto diet is not right for everyone.

The Keto Flu

In the first days or weeks some people feel tired, headachy or irritable. Water, salt and rest often help, but ask a doctor if symptoms are severe.

What Supplements Add

Exogenous ketones raise blood ketones temporarily. They do not replace the diet.

Who Should Ask First

Anyone with diabetes, kidney, liver or gallbladder disease, or who is pregnant or nursing.
