- Increase ketone bodies to decrease insulin.
The shift in calorie sources causes the body to shift its metabolic pathways. This means that it will begin to use fat for fuel instead of the glucose that is derived from carbohydrates. In response to this restriction, the body will begin to start producing ketone bodies.
