Ketogenic Diet
Advice and help in Ketogenic diet adaptation. Underlining principle of ketogenic diet is consumption of fats, protein and low net carbohydrates (fibre subtracted from total cards). The body starts to change metabolism from carbohydrates dependency to more sustain coproduction of ketones, which are used as a second source of energy together with glucose.
Glucose is produced mainly from carbohydrates and Ketones are produced from fat. Ketosis is achieved at more that 0.5 milimolar/ l.
Achieving a state of ketosis can have many benefits from treating chronic illnesses to optimizing both mental and physical performance. While the benefits are well documented, the underlying mechanism of action is not entirely clear. The diet seems to enhance the ability of mitochondria, the power plants of our cells, to deliver our bodies’ energy needs in a manner that reduces inflammation and oxidative stress. Through optimizing the way our body uses energy, we fortify our bodies’ ability to take on the ever-growing stressors of our modern way of living.
Foods and drinks you must never consume:
Orange juice - You’re basically drinking a glass of water and sugar
Soy protein isolates (processed soy protein) - It irritates the liver and could potentially increase your estrogen levels
High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)This sugar syrup is present in hundreds of foods and drinks
Processed meats with nitrates - Nitrates are chemicals added to food as a preservative to stop bacterial growth
Milk from large commercial dairies - contains residues of antibiotics and hormones used to keep the cows producing milk
Packaged, frozen meals - low-quality meals contain unhealthy protein, starches, and carbs that will stop fat burning
Imported fruits - it is dificult to contrl pesticides used by foreign countries but we can avoid their fruit imports.
Procedure
Procedure
Keto adaptation process is gradual, normally starting within days of ketogenic process or high-fat diet. Full implementation takes few weeks, depending on person metabolism, prior diet, activity level, and microbiome. However, it is easy to gauge if you are on good track by measuring ketons. Ketosis is achieved at more that 0.5 milimolar/ l.
First Stages (Week 1-2) - early weight loss is due to water loss and glycogen reduction in leaver and muscle. Replenishment of electrolytes will help alleviate symptoms. Keto flu might occur with temporary sign effects of headaches, fatigue, nausea, and difficulty concentrating.
Second-Stage (Week 3-6) - As body metabolism adjusts, keto flu symptoms subside and fat adoption benefits are getting prominent like carbohydrates cravings, increased satiety e.g. less fresuent eating.
Full Keto (Week 6+) - The body is fully adopted and can run on two fuels fat and sugar, glucose. Benefits include: mental clarity, consistent energy, satiety and endurance capacity improves with athletic performance.
Disease treatment
Disease treatment
Autoimmune conditions - improvements in nutrients will alleviate these problems with reduced stress and intermittent fasting.
Pain and inflammation
Diabetes
Irritable bowel syndrome - eliminate gluten, grains and milk from large commercial dairies
Thyroid disorders
Sleep apnea

In order for the body to start producing keton intensively, at least 3 weeks in a row are needed. However, production of ketns depends on metabolical state of the body. With fasting sometimes good level of ketons can be produced after 2-3 days, however this approach requires greater commitment.
Contraindications
Contraindications
Pancreatitis - ketogenic diet can worsen pancreatitis or other pancreatic conditions.
Liver Failure - Individuals with liver failure should avoid the ketogenic diet as it can place additional stress on the organ.
Disorders of Fat Metabolism - People with disorders of fat metabolism, such as primary carnitine deficiency, carnitine palmitoyltransferase deficiency, or carnitine translocase deficiency
Porphyrias - a group of inherited metabolic disorders.
Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency
Kidney Disease
Heart Failure
Recent stroke or myocardial infarction:
Respiratory failure
