This diet is being utilized for an alternative cancer treatment by mainstream medicine now. I've been following it for a year now since Dr. Becker brought it up in relation to the remarkable study and cure rate for cancer in pets. I actually met her at a private talk she did to a full house of veterinarians, holistic practitioners - it was incredible! Keto Pet is the name of the animal study - a few billionaires wanted to do something productive with their money so they thought, "Let's cure cancer!" so they sought out the very best doctors and scientists in the world and found that this ketogenic diet was the most promising. Since the cancer rate for dogs was 1 in 3 or less, there was no shortage of patients - they simply rescued from shelters that were going to euthanize these poor animals because they were so far progressed in their cancers. Look up Keto Pet and see the amazing work these people are doing. So that is the animal version of ketogenic diet study...the premise was to begin there first to get the momentum to bring this to a human study with the animal cure rates as the momentum to be taken seriously. Last year they had begun that study, not sure what the results are. But they way it was explained at this talk I went to, cancer feeds off of sugars (we all know this) and carbs turn to sugar...and what I didn't realize is that when it runs out of sugars (glucose), it will then use protein as it's energy. However, if the body has been converted to a ketogenic diet and is using ketones as energy instead of glucose, the cancer cells see the ketones and interpret it as glucose and consumes it - which in turn destroys the cancer cell. There are so many studies now on the NIH library website now. It's being taken seriously for cancer and inflammatory conditions. As far as losing weight? I know several people that are using it for that with great success. I think that there are varying versions of this diet out there though....not all healthy as with anything.
