The term "ketoic" refers to a state of being in ketosis, which is commonly associated with a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. While "ketoic" is the specific word used to describe this metabolic state, there are alternative synonyms that convey the same meaning. These include "ketogenic", "ketonic" or "in a state of ketosis". All these terms imply that the body is primarily using ketones, rather than carbohydrates, as its main source of energy. Furthermore, these synonyms can help individuals in their search for related information, recipes, or scientific studies surrounding the ketogenic diet and its health benefits.
