Increasing Evidence That High Fat Diets Lead to Better Health

This time of year, the gyms are packed, and the low-fat aisles at the grocery store are jammed with shopping carts.

My reaction…”If they only knew they were spinning their wheels!”  All I can do is sigh.

I know, and you know, they may drop 5 pounds, all the while starving, only to go back and gain 10.  It is the endless cycle I was in most of my life.  If only I had known then what I know now! I would have been a much happier and content individual.  Not to mention, healthy and lean.

I have heard so many times these last two weeks, “Count your calories…” or “Eat more fruits and vegetables” and even, Agh, “Cut down on saturated fat.”  Really?!?!  Wake up to 2016 all of you morning talk show special guests.  We have been in a downward spiral for over 50 years, and it is time to rise up and realize this low fat business was a really, really bad idea!  It is okay to correct the bad advice!

I have heard nothing about eating more fat, so I am here to tell you; EAT MORE FAT!

Now…with that, goes cutting down on the sugar – way down.  In fact, way way down!  The sugar and the carbs have to give, to stop that spike in your blood sugar so you aren’t hungry every two hours.  This means eating healthy fats and saying no to sugar and processed foods.

The good part is: you get to eat healthy, satisfying foods that will keep you going for hours and hours with endless energy AND boost your brain power.  It is an awesome feeling to gain control of your health so that you never have to struggle with hunger pains and yo-yo dieting ever again!

I was beyond excited to read an article my sweet friend, Tina, sent my way.  It is interesting, scientifically based, and best of all, everything we have been preaching for the past two years.  I just had to share!  Take a moment, read, comment, and share with those you love.  And…EAT MORE FAT!

How Can Keto Help You?

Happy Alive

As a follow up from Erin’s emotional post on her Cancer survival, I thought this article apropos to post.  Erin gives so much credit to her survival of Cancer and continued remission to the Ketogenic diet.  Erin also did traditional therapy, but the results were much faster because of Keto.  So fast, in fact, that her doctor asked her what she was doing in addition to traditional therapy!  We often wonder if Keto could have cured it all, but at 31, she needed to do everything humanly possible to get that disease as far away as possible – forever!  So, we are definitely not saying to avoid traditional therapy, but we are saying that you can help yourself move towards faster healing by eliminating sugar from your diet because sugar feeds Cancer!  As you will read in the article, a majority of Cancers have been proven to be metabolic diseases.  All are not simply genetic, or a case of bad luck, as so many of us have been told and believed for quite some time.

How are metabolic diseases treated?  Answer: Diet

If you have not already read our page entitled, “What is a Ketogenic Diet?” I encourage you to do so.  While we often speak to Cancer, the Ketogenic Diet can be used to treat many other diseases and illnesses, and help you live a stronger, healthier and more fulfilled life.  For instance, it reversed my pre-diabetic status, put my PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome symptoms at bay, and alleviated every bit of lower back pain I had from an injury I sustained while training for a marathon several years ago when I ruptured a disk.

This article is excellent in explaining how great the Keto diet is for most Cancers, and why we don’t hear more about it (hint…$$$).

I also encourage you to do your own research or talk to your doctor about how this type of lifestyle might be able to help you with your own ailments or even just living a healthier lifestyle.  I will tell you; I have never felt better, been stronger, or had clearer skin in my entire life!  I just wish I had learned about it sooner than a year and a half ago.  I hope that it can help you too!  Let us know how we can help you!

From examiner.com:

In an exclusive interview, Dr. Seyfried discussed why the ketogenic diet has not been embraced by the medical community to treat cancer despite its proven track record both clinically and anecdotally.

“The reason why the ketogenic diet is not being prescribed to treat cancer is purely economical,” said Dr. Seyfried, author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease. “Cancer is big business. There are more people making a living off cancer than there are dying of it.”
