The diet below is simply for rapid and effective weight loss and uses a 1 to 1 fat to protein ratio rather than the 4 to 1 fat to combined protein and carbs ratio of the Ketogenic Diet pioneered by Johns Hopkins used to treat epilepsy.

After finishing Gary Taubes latest book, which seems to have rapidly become the cornerstone of a new approach to nutrition, Ive become very interested in the Ketogenic diet. The speed of weight loss Ive seen is incredible and my energy level has remained high. The science behind a ketogenic diet is solidly backed up by Taubes research published in Good Calories, Bad Calories and Why we get fat. According to Taubes research, it may also be the only way for people who have become severely insulin resistant, to effectively lose weight. The Ketogenic diet has always lived on the fringes of diet lore and has been seen as extreme. But the reality is that the low glycemic index diet Low GI Diet is effective because it is close to, but not quite, a ketogenic diet. Serial Key For Foxit Advanced Pdf Editor. Other diets like the South Beach Diet are also only effective because of the reduction in carbs and consequently insulin levels. The science behind this diet looks solid and it is part of the massive shift in nutrition research weve seen in the last few years. Prominent sport physiology experts like Tim Noakes have come around to this way of thinking and Tim in particular has said that everything he wrote about Carboloading in Lore of Running is wrong. Lore of Running is considered the running physiology bible by many and contains much more than nutrition adviceIve decided to put together a Basic Ketogenic Diet for my own reference and because the Ketogenic diets out there are either targeted at extreme bodybuilders and usually cycle in carbs or are peppered with pseudoscience and superstition. If you find anything technically wrong in this article please correct me as loudly as youd like in the comments and please cite your source. First a summary of the science behind the Ketogenic Diet. Keep in mind Im summarizing hundreds of pages of explanation and supporting data into a few paragraphs. When you eat carbs your blood glucose level is raised and your pancreas secretes insulin. This insulin puts your muscle and fat cells into storage mode.

Your fat cells store away the glucose as triglycerides. Insulin also prevents your fat cells from breaking down those triglycerides back into fatty acids and releasing them into your blood stream for use as energy. Photo by Lauri Andler. Ive been asked by a number of people to review Gary Taubess new book, The Case Against Sugar. I reluctantly agreed that it would probably. The Natural Sweetener Worse Than High Fructose Corn Syrup The Truth Behind Eating Natural Sugar. References. Yudkin, John 1972. Pure, White and Deadly The Problem of Sugar. London DavisPoynter. ISBN 0706700562. OCLC 571307. Taubes, Gary 2001. This is important Insulin both causes fat absorption and prevents fat from being used as energy. If you were to eat sugary snacks throughout the day you are keeping your insulin level high which constantly keeps your fat cells in a state of absorption and prevents the release of fat and its use as energy. Eating fat and protein does very little to raise your insulin level. So the bottom line here is, if you want your body to burn fat meaning if you want your fat cells to break down triglycerides into fatty acids, release them into your blood stream and actually use them as energy you need to keep your insulin level as low and absolutely avoid spikes in insulin. A note on calories Counting calories or increasing exercise output, according to the research of Taubes and many others, is a bad way to try to lose weight because what usually happens is instead of your body burning fat to make up for the deficit in calories, it simply decreases the amount of energy it expends. So you end up lethargic and still fat. A 20question carbohydrate sensitivity quiz to help you discover whether you might have prediabetes or insulin resistance, and what you can do about it.

It is why you lose weight on these diets while consuming the same number of calories. Low Carb and Low GI diets work because they cut out carbs that cause spikes in insulin, which you now know will cause fat absorption and prevent fat burn. The Ketogenic diet takes this one step further. It keeps your insulin level low which puts your body into fat release fat burn mode, but also significantly increases the fat content in your diet and teaches your body to use fat as energy. Your body your liver in particular will enter a state of Ketosis and will break down fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies which will be used as energy. During the diet you can measure how much fat your body is burning by monitoring your output of acetoacetate using Ketostix. When you enter a Ketogenic state, you will see a Ketone output of 5 to 2. L According to Why we get fat by Taubes and my experience. The Ketostix I have also measure blood glucose which is useful to test for Ketoacidosis which you are not at risk for unless you are diabetic. Note that Ketostix are used by diabetics to test whether they are entering a state known as Diabetic Ketoacidosis which is very dangerous. In this case they will see very high ketone levels accompanied by blood sugar levels of greater than 2. L. You should be seeing blood sugar levels of zero according to your Ketostix during your diet. Please note that the diet outlined below is not the Cyclical Ketogenic Diet used by bodybuilders. It is a basic Ketogenic diet which Ive found to be the most effective fat burning diet available. Ive modified this diet from the classic Ketogenic diet used to treat epilepsy which recommends a 4 to 1 ratio of protein to fat. Ive found that I can reach a state of Ketosis with a 1 to 1 ratio of fat to protein provided I keep the carbs very low. Without further ado, the basic Ketogenic diet What youll need. The Diet. Note, you can eat as much of the foods below as you like, but Ive found that I quickly feel full eating this diet. Dont overeat and more importantly, dont under eat and make sure youre getting the calories you need to function. This is NOT about cutting calories, its about releasing fat reserves and teaching your body to burn them. Drink lots of water during the diet but dont go crazy. I find this helps increase my metal clarity and energy. Taubes and others recommend not starting an exercise program at the beginning of this diet because during the acclimatization period you will not have enough energy and it usually results in people quitting the diet. During the diet, measure your rate of fat burn by measuring your acetoacetate output with your Ketostix. Do this every time you visit the loo. You should see 5 to 2. L, and Ive noticed its particularly high after a very fatty meal. Blood glucose if your ketostix show this on a separate color tab should be zero at all times. If it is not zero and above 2.

Ive found it effective to pre make dishes on Sunday and have them ready for the week. That makes it incredibly easy to stick to the diet because I avoid thinking which means I avoid creativity and creativity requires decision making which leads to hard choices.
