    About this ebook

    What do the experts know about healing that you don’t?


    Do you want to prevent or cure a disease but don’t know the answers? Did a doctor tell you to lose weight but it seems impossible? Are you a student who can’t remember anything after the last “cram” session? If so, read on.


    Intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet are two of the leading diet programs out there. But losing weight isn’t the only benefit these diets offer.


    Both diets offer impressive health benefits that prevent, treat, and even cure various diseases and conditions. From migraines and high blood pressure to autism and even some forms of cancer.


    In this book you will discover:


    How to reverse chronic conditions


    What is intermittent fasting


    What is ketosis?


    How to increase muscle mass


    Boost memory, improve mental focus and clarity


    Reduce stress


    How IF and Keto slow down the aging process


    The one condition you never fast with


    How to give your cells a “tune up”


    How to stabilize blood sugar


    And much more, too many to list!


    I was more than 100 pounds overweight and had tried many diets. When I stopped eating the flawed foods, I lost 100 pounds in 6 months. I had been on medications for: high blood pressure, migraines, and chronic heart burn. I am no longer on any medications. I went from 3-4 migraines per month to maybe 1 or 2 a year.


    It was easy and I never craved for anything (after the first two weeks!)


    Some diseases covered in this book: epilepsy, metabolic syndrome (insulin resistance), diabetes, some cancers, autism, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, migraines, fatty liver disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, and more.


    Use the “Look Inside” feature to see the table of contents for all the diseases discussed.


    Each condition has a chapter or section to itself and you will learn how intermittent fasting helps (or hurts), how the ketogenic diet helps, what foods to eat and what foods to avoid.  


    As with my first book, Intermittent Fasting and Ketogenic Diet Made Easy, this is not a recipe book. But you will find some recipes to help you. These recipes are easy to make and use common, easy to find ingredients.


    The information in this book is backed up by scientific studies and in the reference section you’ll find links to those studies.

      Introduction – Weight Loss Through Diet Plans

      If you have purchased this book, it is obvious to fathom that you care for, or have started caring, for your body. After all, you not only need to look beautiful from the outside, but inside as well.

      Now that the reason is settled, you may be wondering:

      Which diet should I follow?

      You want to aim for weight loss, or perhaps you want to tone those muscles. Plenty of diets have become mainstream, and choosing among them depends upon your desired target.

      In this eBook, you are going to learn about two diet plans that not only focus on weight loss, but also aim at regulating various medical conditions and diseases. These diets are known as the Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting diet plans. Both of these will be discussed in detail in this eBook. Later, you will get familiar with several recipes based on both types of diet plans.

      Before proceeding with the details, you need to understand the various definitions, let’s discuss them.

      Chapter 1 – The Basics

      What is a Ketogenic Diet?

      The Ketogenic diet incorporates the principle of following a diet that has low carbs, but a high fat intake. Its main principle is similar to other low-carb diets, such as the Atkin’s diet; thus, a ketogenic plan substitutes fat for carbohydrates so that it can be utilized as an energy source.

      This results in a metabolic process called ketosis. As the body requires energy to run its organs and parts, the default source has been carbohydrates.

      But, with a deficiency of carbs, your body thinks:

      Now, where am I going to get the fuel to keep myself running?

      That is where the fat stored in the body comes into play, and sacrifices itself for keeping the energy levels in the body regulated. In addition, this diet can help generate ketones in the liver from the excess fat. That helps fuel the brain as well.

      This diet plan is also capable of reducing insulin levels and blood sugar; thus, it can provide the body with various health advantages.

      Various Ketogenic Types

      Many variants of ketogenic diets exist, which all depends upon customizing the intake of various nutrients; however, a few of them that have gone mainstream are:

      Standard: This one consist of high fats, moderate proteins, and low carbs in the diet plan. Technically, it comprises of 5% carbs, 20% protein, and 75% fat.

      Cyclical: This one consists of a repetitive pattern of high carbs with low carbs. Commonly, a regular ketogenic diet is followed with two high-carb meal days.

      Targeted: This one lets you target high-carb meals during pre and post workout sessions.

      High protein: This one comprises of a similar routine as the standard diet plan, but with a higher protein intake. The standard nutritional proportions followed in this one is 5% carbs, 35% protein, and 60% fat.

      The basic methods that most follow among the above are the high-protein and standard ketogenic diets. Advanced-level athletes and bodybuilders mostly follow targeted and cyclical ones.

      What is the Goal of a Ketogenic Diet?

      Its primary goal is to get the body to start making ketones, which acts as a substitute source of energy to the usual energy produced from fats and carbs. As the body is not used to ketones for the energy source, it can take many days for the body to adapt to ketones for the body’s fuel. This can vary from person to person.

      Besides, the ketogenic diet aims for the following:

      To cause the body to start producing ketones.

      Adapt the body to a low-carb, high fat, and low or moderate protein diet.

      What is Ketosis?

      Ketosis is a standard metabolic process, where the body starts relying on fats for fulfilling its energy requirements, when it is not able to get enough glucose from other sources. It generates an acid called ketone inside the body.

      Many people follow a low-carb or ketogenic diet. This diet helps them to get rid of unnecessary fat by making the body get its energy from the stored fat, instead of external carbs. You can observe the case of ketosis development in people with diabetes, where the body is unable to use the insulin generated inside the body. This issue usually occurs more due to type-1 diabetes than type-2.

      Some Facts about Ketosis

      Ketosis arises when the body is not able to produce enough energy from glucose.

      It is also termed as a medical condition where the stored fat is used as a substitute for energy. Additionally, it produces an acid called ketones.

      With a rise in the level of ketones, the acidic nature of the blood also elevates. It leads to a fatal condition known as ketoacidosis.

      Ketoacidosis mostly affects type-1 diabetic patients. This may require emergency treatment so that the patient can avoid a state of coma.

      Many people think of following a ketogenic diet plan to lose weight by forcing the body to use stored fat as fuel.

      So, you can see that the excessive formation of ketones can be fatal to the body. These acids start building up in the blood, which are then passed out through the urine. The small amounts of these acids will not harm the body. In addition, this acid will inform you that your body is burning the fat; however, if the ketone level is too high, then it acts as a toxin for the body, causing the medical condition ketoacidosis.

      Is Ketosis Good for the Body?

      The process of ketosis has been noted to have healthy benefits on the body due to its ability to reduce excess fat. Through the ketogenic diet, the body may reduce medical disorders like:

      Metabolic syndrome

      Diabetes

      Cardiovascular diseases

      Acne

      Cancer

      Alzheimer’s disease

      PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disease)

      Further studies suggest that the process of ketosis (as seen in a ketogenic diet) helps regulate cholesterol levels (HDL) much more efficiently than other low-carb diets. These advantages in the body are mostly because of the decrease in fat and the consumption of healthy meals, instead of focusing on reducing the carb intake.

      This diet plan is certainly not for beginners. It requires proper supervision so that the risks of overdoing the diet regimen are curbed. If there are no regulations upon the diet plans, then it can lead to ketoacidosis. Studies are still not completely clear regarding the results of a prolonged ketogenic diet, so ketosis is good to a certain extent until it forms ketoacidosis, where the ketone production exceeds the threshold limit and becomes counterproductive.

      Ketosis and Diabetes

      In patients with diabetes, ketosis may occur in bodies that do not have sufficient insulin production to regulate the glucose levels. This can be judged by checking the amount of ketones in the urine. This is where many medical professionals suggest following a ketogenic diet plan, especially for patients with type-2diabetes. This diabetic disorder is also referred to as NIDDM or non-insulin dependent diabetes. One should know that insulin production is still there in a type-2 diabetic patient, but that insulin is not usable for the transfer of glucose to the muscles and other body parts as a source of energy.

      With the help of a ketogenic diet regimen, the carb intake is reduced so that the fat stored in the body is used as a source of energy in place of the glucose. As mentioned earlier, this also produced ketones, which will have to be regulated by the patient. If ketones are increased at an alarming level, then ketoacidosis may occur. While this disorder is mostly seen in type-1 1 patients, a type-2diabetic individual can also see its presence.

      What is Insulin Resistance?

      People having insulin resistance cannot react to the hormonal insulin properly. The pancreas generates insulin. Upon eating various carb-based foods, they break down inside the body to produce glucose. As a standard function, the insulin is responsible for transporting the glucose to the muscle cells and liver via the bloodstream as a fuel. This way, an individual is able to regulate his/her glucose levels.

      However, a person suffering from IR will not accept the glucose in his/her liver and muscles. This results in a higher production of glucose in the blood.

      Insulin resistance commonly occurs in people with:
