Book-2: Guide to Total Wellness -1.0

The ketogenic diet is a sub-set of the Low-Carb diet. Hence follow the same diet supplements and exercise routine as for the Low-Carb diet but with the following changes.

 

 

 

  1. Eat more fat, especially saturated fat, – up to 85 percent or more of your daily calories.
  2. Moderate your protein intake to 10 percent of your daily calories.
  3. Reduce your net carbohydrates to 5 percent of your daily calories.
  4. Reduce your caloric intake by about 20 percent.
  5. Continue your ‘Fast’ day.
  6. Once you have attained to your desired weight and shape, you may introduce a moderate ‘Feast day’, (once a week) to allow for a cyclic ketosis, rather than continuous strict ketosis. You may on this day, increase your healthy net carbs to 100 or even 150 gms/day as opposed to 20 to 50 gms on the strict ketogenic diet, and also increase your protein intake to about 50 to 60 gms unless you are doing strength training when you could have 80 or 90 gms of protein. Of course Senior Citizens would need 25 percent extra protein.
