Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: a. When only proteins and fats are ingested but carbohydrates are excluded, the body (including the brain) burns fats instead of carbohydrates. This affects which organs are involved in metabolism, because different organs metabolize fats versus carbohydrates.
Detailed explanation-2: -A decrease in appetite-stimulating hormones, such as insulin and ghrelin, when eating restricted amounts of carbohydrate. A direct hunger-reducing role of ketone bodies-the body’s main fuel source on the diet. Increased calorie expenditure due to the metabolic effects of converting fat and protein to glucose.
