It sounds mainly like "your body prefers to burn ketones over glucose", but I'm also a crayon eater

Regrettably (as far as I understand) this is true for all except the brain, which loves glucose so much that, even when in ketosis, it will tell the body to break down proteins and muscles to get glucose to function.

Increasing your body's ketone levels [helps avoid] the turning-on of new-fat-making hormones, and also helps avoid the condition of insulin resistance.

Translating from just the title: “putting ketones into your body prevents new fat from being made and prevents insulin resistance from being built” which is interesting because it means that it isn’t necessarily the breakdown OF fat that prevents new fat from being made, but merely the presence of the resulting ketones.

Well that’s the thing, they don’t, but apparently they do prevent you from forming new fat or becoming insulin resistant
