We’ve become SUGAR burners and not FAT burners and are always using carbohydrate metabolism for energy. This dietary issue is one of the main reasons you are seeing so many degenerative diseases, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, strokes, Alzheimer’s, etc. The scary thing is the statistics are getting worse with no slowing down in sight!
What is a Ketogenic Diet?
The ketogenic diet involves the removal of most carbohydrates from the diet, particularly sugar or anything that turns to sugar. These carbohydrates are replaced with LOTS of healthy fats and moderate amounts of healthy, high-quality protein.
Ketogenic Diet Macros (Macronutrient breakdown)
The ratio I recommend is about 75% healthy fats, 23% protein, and 2% carbohydrates. (Too much protein can also turn to sugar in the body.)
