Why is the New Physic diet so low in carbs?

The goal of a low-carb diet like the New Physic diet is to get our body into a state of ketosis.

Ketosis is a natural process by which our body converts fat into energy. To do this, the liver converts fats into ketone bodies. This process is called ketosis.

Generally, carbohydrates present in bread, pasta, cereals, fruits and tubers are our main source of energy. These hydrates are converted into sugars or glucose, which is the fuel for our cells.

However, when we go on a low carb, high healthy fat diet like the New Physic diet, our body is forced to change the fuel that gives it energy. In this case, the liver uses fatty acids from adipose tissue (stored fat) to produce ketone bodies, which become the body’s main fuel.
