Describing a substance, diet, or condition that prevents or opposes the production of ketone bodies in the body.
From anti- (against) + ketogenic (from keto-, relating to ketones + -genic, producing). This adjective describes anything that inhibits ketogenesis.
High-carbohydrate foods are antiketogenic because they flood your bloodstream with glucose, telling your body 'stop making ketones, we have plenty of easy sugar to burn right now,' which is why keto dieters strictly limit carbs.
