Answer to Question 1

Once glycogen depletion has occurred (whether following low carbohydrate intake or fasting), the body's stored fat is metabolized to provide glucose for energy. For fat to be used efficiently to provide energy, carbohydrates must be present, so with a low-carbohydrate diet or fasting, fat metabolism becomes inefficient. After a short while, the inefficient metabolism of fat leads to the formation of by-products called ketone bodies, which subsequently build up in the blood, producing the state of ketosis.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
