Two diet books in one: 1) portion control, and 2) ketogenic
Ketogenic diets help many folks lose excess weight, return blood sugar levels toward normal, and move HDL cholesterol and triglycerides to a healthier range. I include a ketogenic diet as an option in my Advanced Mediterranean Diet (2nd Ed.). They are not for everybody.
Read about Franziska Spritzler’s experience with a ketogenic diet (not my version). Some quotes:
Well, after consistently consuming 30-45 grams of net carbs a day for six months, I have only positive things to say about my very-low-carb experience. Not only are my blood sugar readings exactly where they should be — less than 90 fasting and less than 130 an hour after eating — but I truly feel healthier, less stressed, and more balanced than ever.
My diet consists of lots of fat from avocados, nuts and nut butters, olive oil, and cheese; moderate amounts of fish, chicken, beef, Greek yogurt, and eggs; and at least one serving of nonstarchy vegetables at every meal and a small serving of berries at breakfast. It’s truly a rich, satisfying, and luxurious way to eat.
