Its best to minimize or avoid it, especially during dose adjustments
Heres a rundown of how the keto diet works similarly to semaglutide to affect weight loss: Typically, carbohydrates are digested and become glucose, the bodys standard fuel source for nearly all functions Keto dieters include only a trace amount of carbohydrates (20-50g per day) into their diet Absent a dietary source of glucose, the body shifts to using energy stored in body fat, as well as energy from dietary fat and protein When the body rapidly breaks down fat, either dietary fat or stored fat in the body, ketone bodies are formed The process of converting stored fat into usable energy is called ketogenesis Heres the thing: Being in a ketogenic state on its own isnt enough
