Energy metabolism is how the body converts food into ATP, the fuel that powers every cell. Calories alone don’t determine health—fuel type does. Glucose requires insulin and has limited storage, while nutritional fats produce ketones that enter cells easily, generate more stable energy, and place less stress on metabolism. Ketogenic metabolism supports mitochondrial efficiency, lower insulin demand, reduced inflammation, and long-term metabolic resilience.

Sugar is not harmless fuel but a metabolic disruptor. All carbohydrates break down into glucose, which the body can use or store only in limited amounts. Fructose is far more dangerous: it is processed almost exclusively by the liver, rapidly converted into fat, and drives fatty liver, insulin resistance, and metabolic disease without obvious blood sugar spikes. HFCS and “natural” sweeteners deliver similar harm. Reducing sugar removes a major metabolic burden.

🌱 Psyllium is a soluble fiber from the Plantago ovata plant, used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine. It supports blood sugar and cholesterol control, gut health, weight management, and digestive regularity. Psyllium forms a gel in the gut that slows glucose absorption and promotes fullness. It’s also popular in keto and gluten-free baking for its binding and elasticity-enhancing properties.

Food manufacturers often replace healthy fats with sugar to enhance taste and increase sales. They also use misleading terms to hide sugar content. Sugars end in “-ose” (e.g., glucose, fructose, sucrose) and can contribute to obesity, inflammation, heart disease, and cancer. With over 75 names for sugar used in products, reading labels is essential to avoid hidden sugars.
