The Keys to Implementing a Ketogenic Diet
soupper soulger 1 year ago Here's what I did to gradually get on to a Ketogenic program. I first got off all Wheat products. Then a month later I got off all starch's like potatoes. Another month later got off rice and beans and regular milk (not cream). While at the same time I gradually started to introduce more fats like coconut oil, grass fed butter and nitrate free bacon fat etc. Most people make the mistake (I did) of consumming too much protein and fruit which kept knocking me out of Ketosis. The acetone bad breath part from keytones was countered with drinking more water, often mixed with liquid chlorophyll. To date I have lost 50 pounds and feel great. To think I have been over weight most of my adult life for nothing. Knowledge is indeed powerful.

This video is one in a series of videos and websites which are being posted on FreeRepublic in the coming days in regard to nutritional health. In the beginning these videos were being posted as a rebuttal to an article and comments in another posted article on FreeRepublic remarking on obesity. Due to the strong interest in obesity and nutritional health as it relates to Type II Diabetes, the videos relating to Type II diabetes and how to reverse the progression of the disease are being moved forward among the other video topics in this series. Expect to see a mixture of videos regarding the role of carbohydrates in the diet and their relationship to nutritional health topics ranging from metabolic syndrome and Diabetes to dementia, Parkinson's Disease, Altzheimer's Disease, and more. The effects of standard government sponsored diets, health association diets, and alternative diets upon everyday nutrition, sports nutrition, and diabetic nutrition will be mixed in with videos focused on the use of various low carbohydrate and high fat (LCHF) diets, such as the ketogenic diets as a treatment for Type II Diabetes.
Anyone who is interested in following this series of posts about nutritional health is invited to request a ping.

Thank God he’s gone. He was an a$$hole.
How long have you been in this diet? Do you take breaks from it? I hear its tough on the organs to stay on it for more than a month at a time.
“How long have you been in this diet?”
That’s hard to say. In hindsight we’ve certainly been in ketosis for prolonged periods of time over the decades without consciously trying or particularly noticing it, simply because of our changing eating habits often favoring ketogenic types of foods and menus. However, there were also periods of time when catabolic diets featuring too many carbohydrates persisted long enough to wreak havoc on the metabolism despite the periods of ketosis. Ignoring Fad diets to eat in moderation and exercise simply became totally ineffective and counterproductive, and the physician failed to offer any useful suggestions. We had previously succeeded in reducing weight by more than 12 percent in less than a year, but did not know how we did it. Unfortunately, the weight loss did little to improve the blood sugar levels. After doing some research, it looked like the period of weight loss coincided with a prolonged period of time in which the menu had omitted the items which included bread, potatoes, pasta, and rice; and the weight gain resumed after those foods came back into the menu. After sitting down and studying all of these diets out there, I came to realize the profile of the menus about the time of the substantial weight loss were very much alike the ketogenic diet and the way it emphasized very low carbohydrate levels. So, it was about one month ago that we decided to learn everything we could find about the ketogenic diet and the alternatives, and wee began to plan and test new meal plans to replace our former low calorie and low carbohydrate meals in favor of the very low carbohydrate, adequate protein, and high fat meals. It had been our intention to make careful preparations to keep careful records of precisely what we were eating and doing, but those plans ended up going right out of the window. While we were testing some of the recipes in preparation to begin the diet later, we slipped into ketosis almost immediately and effortlessly before we had been able to receive delivery of the blood ketone test strips. Consequently, we do not know precisely when we went into nutritional ketosis this time, but we figure it must have been immediately after we ate our last sandwiches about one month ago. The tastes, mood, lack of hunger, and urine characteristics were telltale signs of the ketosis. These signs were similar to what we have experienced in the past when were not consciously trying to utilize nutritional ketosis.
“Do you take breaks from it?”
Probably not until normal blood glucose and insulin levels are achieved for a prolonged period of time.
“I hear its tough on the organs to stay on it for more than a month at a time.
Judging from what used to be our typical nutrition in some of our younger years, we must have been in ketosis for years at a time without noticing any particular problems. Remember, babies in the placenta of normal mothers and while nursing after birth are in a natural state of ketosis. Diabetic mothers sometimes give birth to babies with metabolic syndrome because of the high blood sugars in the mother’s bloodstream.
