Ketogenic Diet Results: Keto Weight Loss Success Stories
Losing weight on the ket ogenic diet is not a probability, is a fact. On the keto diet you will be eating mostly fat, moderate protein, and lots of veggies. In this way you will feel full earlier than a traditional carbohydrate rich diet. This means that you will automatically eat less. And not only that, you won't be feeling like starving all the time and cravings on the ketogenic diet are a rarity (study). This is why people lose a lot of weight fast and easily on this diet. And benefits of the ketogenic diet don't stop only at weight loss! Reduced inflammation, potential cancer prevention, cure for epilepsy and maybe ADHD, mental clarity, and higher energy levels are just few of the benefits of being on a keto diet. And I haven't mentioned bacon. In this post, I decided to give you some motivation and inspiration to get you started or just keeping at it by showing you the ketogenic diet results and success stories. I collected the best keto transformation pictures around the web. The best keto weight loss results and successfully keto diet transformation that I hope will inspire you to start on your keto journey. This journey will make you lose weight, look and feel fantastic and get a lot of energies back. WARNING: These transformation pictures are mind-blowing. Is It Really So Good To Be True? All you need is getting started. In the beginning it all might look so underwhelming and daunting. And why not, scary. Right now is the moment to start changing and taking charge of your life. Now you decide what and who is important in your life. Getting out of breath climbing stairs? Being unable to keep up with your kid? Hiding when someone takes pictures? Untagging yourself on Facebook? Avoiding mirrors? Hating clothes shopping? This is not the way to live. If yo Continue reading >>

Can A Ketogenic Diet Cure Cancer?
I’ve recently received a number of queries from patients and practitioners who are curious about a handful of studies and anecdotal reports that indicate a ketogenic diet may help to curtail cancer growth. For those not familiar with the ketogenic diet, it’s a very low carbohydrate diet that contains moderate amounts of protein and a high percentage of fats. I prefer to think of foods in their whole, natural forms (for example, almonds, apples, asparagus, blueberries, oatmeal, olives, potatoes, rye, and salmon) instead of in reductionist terms of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Keeping this in mind, the primary purpose of dietary carbohydrates is for fuel—the body converts carbohydrates via the liver into glucose, which is used for everything from powering muscles to brain function. When confronted with a lack of carbohydrates, the body switches to burning fats for energy by converting fats (again via the liver) into ketone bodies. Here’s why cutting back on carbohydrates appears to curtail cancer growth: Cancer cells primarily use glucose for fuel, but healthy cells primarily use oxygen and secondary glucose, fatty acids, and ketone bodies. The idea behind the ketogenic diet is to starve cancer cells by depriving them of glucose, while continuing to provide healthy cells with ketone bodies for energy. On the surface, the ketogenic diet makes sense. But I don’t recommend it, because although a ketogenic diet may be an improvement over a nutritionally poor diet, it’s not what I consider to be an ideal diet. For one thing, if deprived of glucose, cancer cells can adapt, diversify, and hijack our metabolic system, altering fatty acids and certain amino acids like glutamine for energy production. They can also make glucose through the catabolic breakdown of h Continue reading >>
Woman Battles Brain Cancer Using Low-carb Ketogenic Diet Without Chemo
Share Share Share Health Impact News Editor Comments Some of the most exciting research to come out in the past few years regarding the high-fat low-carb ketogenic diet has been in the area of cancer treatment. The results are so promising that new “ketone” drugs are in the pipeline. The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carb, and moderate-protein diet that was first developed in the 1920s at John Hopkins hospital to treat epilepsy. Some children with seizures saw great success on the diet, often where drugs had failed. Today, the ketogenic diet principles — particularly using coconut oil as the main fat — are being used to treat neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s, as well as successfully treating cancer. The primary motivation to develop drugs that mimic the effects of the diet is because it is considered “difficult” to follow the diet. We have a whole generation now that is addicted to processed sugar and carbs, so if one can take a pill instead, that is seen as preferable. (See: Ketone Body Therapy: From ketogenic diet to oral administration of ketone ester.) Sadly, the principles of the ketogenic diet were once common knowledge, as this clip from the popular 1960s Andy Griffith show portrays. Aunt Bee’s apple pie is seen as something to limit or even skip because of the dangerous “carbohydrates and glucose,” while meatloaf was seen as healthier. Excerpts: Alix Hayden has brain cancer, but instead of undergoing surgery and grueling chemotherapy, she’s fighting it with the low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet and has been doing great so far. In an exclusive interview March 14, Hayden discussed her metabolic diet therapy and navigating cancer with a positive attitude.

Cancer Part 4: Got Hope?
The future of cancer prevention and treatment may not be in sexy, high-tech, gene-targeting therapies, but in our own hands…or rather, on our own plates. Which diets work best for cancer treatment and prevention? [This is the 4th in a 4-part article inspired by Dr. Thomas Seyfried’s book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease. To begin with the first article, click HERE.] Cancer Treatments: Standard Therapies vs. Dietary Therapies Standard Therapies Conventional treatments can help in the short-term but can cause problems in the long-term. Chemotherapy is toxic to healthy cells and can breed resistance among cancer cells, increasing the risk of more aggressive cancers if relapse occurs. Radiation turns up the activity of the tumor growth pathway (PI3K/Akt/HIF), which promotes not only tumor growth, but also recruitment of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and drug resistance. Radiation increases fusion activity between cells, which means that normal and healthy cells can merge into hybrid cells and become more aggressive. Radiation directly damages mitochondria, which increases risk for cancer in the future. Both radiation and immunosuppression therapy (drugs that suppress the immune system) can increase the incidence of metastatic cancers (cancers that spread). Steroids such as dexamethasone (Decadron), often used to reduce inflammation, raise blood sugar levels, feeding tumor cells and enhancing their survival. Dietary Therapies DER (dietary energy restriction) triggers cancer cell death via apoptosis (programmed cell suicide), which is a natural, noninflammatory process that happens from within the cell, causing no collateral damage. Conventional treatments kill cancer cells via necrosis, an inflammatory process that happens from the outside and is locally destructive. Tum Continue reading >>
Starving Cancer: Ketogenic Diet A Key To Recovery
Many people are frustrated with today's cancer treatments. They are expensive, painful and often just don't work. However, there is a new cancer treatment that is free, has virtually no side effects, and can be used in conjunction with other cancer treatments. It involves cutting out carbohydrates, beginning with the worst carb of all - sugar. Killing Cancer Dr. Fred Hatfield is an impressive guy: a power-lifting champion, author of dozens of books, a millionaire businessman with a beautiful wife. But he'll tell you his greatest accomplishment is killing his cancer just in the nick of time. "The doctors gave me three months to live because of widespread metastatic cancer in my skeletal structure," he recalled. "Three months, three different doctors told me that same thing." His wife Gloria remembers it well. "It's a horrible, horrible feeling to have someone tell you that the person you love only has three months to live and you're not going to be with him any more," she said. While Hatfield was preparing to die, he heard about an anti-cancer diet, also known as metabolic therapy. With nothing to lose, he gave it a try and was shocked when it actually worked. "The cancer was gone!" he exclaimed. "Completely. To this day there's no trace of it. And it's been over a year." Starving Bad Cells Although it wasn't easy, Hatfield stopped eating carbohydrates, which turn into glucose inside your body. Cancer cells love glucose and need it so badly, that if you stop giving it to them, they die. "It just absolutely amazes me that medical science is just now finding this out," he said. Hatfield's cancer recovery, however, was not a surprise to Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, who researches metabolic therapy. When he and his team of scientists at the University of South Florida removed car Continue reading >>
Success Story Of Our Star Patients
We would like to share our new update – Success story of our star patients. Here you will find speeches (summarized) given by our epilepsy patients who recounted their journey from despair to hope and ultimate joy when they came out winners. These speeches were given on an event which was held on 10th January 2016, where Dr. J. Nathan and his ketogenic diet team observed the first Ketogenic diet day in Mumbai, India to honour Dr John Freeman, the Father of the ‘Resurrected’ modern ketogenic diet. The event saw a packed hall with many standees. Lets have a look on some of the speeches given by our star patients. Our star patient -TG Hello everyone, Happy to announce one more successful story of our patient. Earlier as you can see below in Jan 2017 we had shared our Pontine Glioma(Cancer) patient- TG’s picture with her views on Ketogenic Diet. Today we are glad to share her successful journey with us which is not because of Chemotherapy or Radiation therapy or Surgery, Its only because of ‘KETOGENIC DIET’. TG came with dense hemiplegia and could not walk unaided. She could not make a fist or hold anything. Surgery could not be performed. She could not afford radiation therapy or chemotherapy. She improved on ketogenic diet only. Here we share her pictures below:- We Would like to share one of our patient with a PONTINE GLIOMA (Cancer) views on Ketogenic diet and her pictures. Our star patient YOGESH REDDY:- Lets see the journey of Yogesh Reddy from childhood to adult stage. Yogesh said in his speech:-He was 1 and ½ yrs when he came to Dr. Nathan. His family doctor suggested them to visit Dr. Nathan. At that time he used to get 300 fits/day. After starting ketogenic diet within 1 month his fits got controlled. They were told that it will take 3 years for compl Continue reading >>
Keto Diet In Cancer
Principles of ideal cancer treatment Target cancer cells only Spare body cells Protect body cells The standard of care (SOC) in cancer is presently based on three therapies Surgical therapy Radiation therapy Chemo-therapy All of the above do NOT target cancer cells exclusively. The only therapy that targets cancer cells exclusively while not only sparing but also protecting our body cells is dietary therapy. Surgical therapy – this is an excellent therapy in the early stages of the disease when there is no distant spread and the tumour can be totally removed. However, normal tissue is excised with the abnormal cancer tissue which in itself leads to morbidity. For example, in breast cancer the entire breast is removed. In kidney cancer the kidney is removed with the normal parts of the kidney. Luckily we can live without a breast and with only one kidney. However, we cannot remove the entire liver of an entire half of the brain. The remainder harbours some cancer cells which not only grow but grow more aggressively after the surgery. This is because surgical incisions and wounds result in inflammation, oedema (swelling) and release of substances that promote the growth of cancer cells. Once the tumour has spread to distant sites (metastases) surgery is mostly palliative Radiation therapy – For all the advances radiation cannot differentiate between cancer and normal cells and will destroy all cells in their path. Of course the side-effects of radiation are many and include radiation burns, damage to mucosal cells. In up to 90% of those with brain tumours who undergo fractionated partial or whole-brain irradiation (fWBI) can have significant cognitive impairment 6 months after irradiation, even in the absence of detectable anatomic abnormalities. More disturbing is th Continue reading >>
The Ketogenic Diet: Starve Cancer To Death
Cancer research has shifted its direction in the last 10 years towards understanding tumor metabolism and therapeutic approaches for cancer treatment. Emerging evidence indicates that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease and not based on mutations as previously thought. In accordance with this theory, Boston College’s Dr. Thomas Seyfried, author of the book, Cancer is a Metabolic Disease, believes cancer can be controlled with metabolic-based approaches. These therapies include cancer signaling, a therapeutic ketogenic diet, and drugs that target cancerous metabolism. The metabolic theory of cancer is not a new idea; it was discovered in the early 1920s by German scientist Otto Warburg. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1931. His theory states that, “The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal cells by a fermentation of sugar.” This fermentation can be seen in PET scans which use radioactive glucose to light up the cancerous areas in patients. It shows what sugar hogs cancer cells are. The metabolic theory further states that cancer originates from damage to the cells’ machinery that make ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is energy that is made in the mitochondria of the cell and is used to power virtually every activity that is necessary for life. Healthy cells have a flexible metabolism — cancer cells do not. This broken energy metabolism is seen in all cancers across the board and the greater the degree of damage, the more aggressive the cancer. Dr. Seyfried believes that the damaged energy metabolism is the primary cause of cancer — genetic mutations are merely a result. When the primary metabolic machinery (mitochondria) of the cell becomes damaged, it cannot produce energy through the normal energy pa Continue reading >>
Ketogenic Diet And Cancer
Looking for information on a ketogenic diet and cancer? You’ve come to the right place. A recent report from the World Health Organization states that the number of cancer cases worldwide is expected to surge by 57 percent over the next twenty years. For many, this will mean painful, expensive (and potentially deadly) treatments with chemotherapy and radiation. On the other hand, many others will choose a more natural approach to treat and prevent cancer… one that is meant to boost the immune system, curtail the proliferation of cancerous cells, and starve those cells of the very fuel they need to grow. And one of the most effective natural approaches for doing this is the ketogenic diet. It is certainly not the only thing that should be included in a cancer-fighting protocol, but science has proven that it can be a very important part of one. The Ketogenic Diet and Cancer: Natural, Effective “Metabolic Therapy” The ketogenic diet is a very low carb diet that is moderate in protein and high in fat. It is well known that the cells in your body are normally fueled by glucose (the form of sugar present in the blood). But when glucose is not available, cells derive their energy from ketones – a byproduct of fat breakdown. And if you are concerned about cancer this is a very good thing… You see, cancer cells work differently than normal cells. And while they thrive on glucose, they are unable to make the switch to ketones. Without glucose as a source of fuel, cancer cells begin to die off. Over time, tumors shrink and the diagnosis of “cancer” can disappear. Dr. Dominic D’Agostino, metabolic therapy researcher at the University of South Florida says: “Your normal cells have the metabolic flexibility to adapt from using glucose to using ketone bodies. But Continue reading >>
Proof The Ketogenic Diet For Cancer Can Be A Real Solution
Although it is often associated with the high-protein Atkins diet, ketogenic diets are useful for more than just weight control. These are classified by their very low carbohydrate content, low enough to push the body’s metabolism into using ketones, which are breakdown products of fats, for energy. One other purpose of the ketogenic diet is as a cancer treatment, often alongside other conventional and/or natural therapies. The story of Elaine Cantin is an example of this, who began to research and modify the ketogenic diet to suit her own needs after seeing too many loved ones die after chemo and radiation. Eventually, her cancer was gone, but this diet is still hidden from most of the general public in obscurity. So what other evidence is there to support the ketogenic diet as a cancer treatment? Multiple studies on mice have shown that this diet can dramatically slow and possibly reverse tumor growth, with in vitro research finding that, besides sugar deprivation, ketone bodies have direct antitumor effects. For example, in one study, mice on low-calorie ketogenic diets had tumors that were 48% lower in weight than controls; those also on the glucose inhibitor known as 2-deoxy-d-glucose saw an 80% reduction in tumor weight compared to controls. [1] In another, mice on the “KetoCal” diet saw slowed tumor growth, decreased blood vessel growth, and increased survival, with mice on the calorie-restricted version surviving the longest. Tumor density had also been significantly reduced. [1] In a human study, 297 patients who had undergone resection surgery for glioblastoma were examined for hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar) in relation to survival time. Besides age and higher tumor grade, administration of corticosteroids and the chemo drug Temodar were also associat Continue reading >>

About Me And My Cancer Story
Let’s face it, cancer can be scary. When you hear the ‘C’ word, fear is often the first feeling to well up from deep inside. You wonder if you’ll ever be okay again. This was my experience when at 28, I was diagnosed with a malignant melanoma of the eye in 2008. I was almost overwhelmed by thoughts of the future, my future. I say ‘almost’ because after I spent three days researching my cancer online, my husband wisely locked away my laptop and gently suggested I take a deep breath and think about what I really needed. And what I needed was perspective; it felt as if nothing was in my control any more, like my cancer had a life of its own, one that was now bigger than mine. Listen to yourself But I did regain control. And here’s how I did it. I listened to my intuition. Returning to my usual lifestyle made no sense. I realised, too, that while there was no way of knowing whether my consultant was making the right decisions, I could have some control over what I put in my mouth – the fuel that feeds my body, my brain and yes, even (back then) my cancer. Call it what you like – my logical Swiss genes, my ‘inner voice’ – but I understood instinctively that whatever the conventional medical approach, combining it with targeted nutrition based on reliable scientific evidence would result in me being as well as I could ever hope to be, cancer or no cancer. And so one month after completing radiotherapy, I started studying nutritional therapy. I’ve been on a steep learning curve ever since – in so many ways! I experienced a relapse shortly after the birth of my first baby, nearly lost my eyesight (but got it back) and have since been witness to many health miracles in both myself and my dear clients. Combining the Orthodox and the Alternative Today I Continue reading >>
