The prevention or inhibition of ketogenesis, the metabolic process by which the body produces ketone bodies from fat.
From anti- (against) + ketogenesis (from keto-, ketones + genesis, creation). This technical term emerged in metabolic biochemistry research.
Carbohydrates actually trigger antiketogenesis because when glucose is abundant, your body stops making ketones and just uses the sugar instead—your liver is smart about choosing the easiest fuel source available.
