If there are insufficient carbohydrates in the diet to meet energy requirements, fat oxidation occurs. What is the impact of this on the metabolism of the body? What nutrients does the body use for energy?
If there are too few carbohydrates in the diet to fulfill the energy requirement, an abnormally large amount of fat is metabolized. If sufficient fats are not available, fat oxidation in the cells is not complete and substances called ketones are produced. The ketones accumulate in the blood and urine and upset the acid-base balance.
