Normally body utilizes carbohydrates inthe form of glucose with the help of a hormone insulin secreted by Pancreas. In fasting stat and LCHF diet it is tried to yield energy from fats stored in the body (in fasting) and low carbohydrate, high fat diet in LCHF diet. End result is production of ketones which if increased in body are not good and may lead to ketoacedosis which is a medical emergency. Hence it is better to go for simple well acceped mode of treatment like diet restriction, regular exercise, medicines/insulin.
