I guess that by now, everybody has heard about the ketogenic diet. It is the big new thing and it is promoted as low carbohydrate-high fat and protein diet.
Right from the bat, we have a problem here. One cannot achieve a state of ketosis in the body if she/he eats even small amounts of dietary carbohydrates daily. This excludes naturally occurring fructose and later I will explain why.
As a matter of fact, the real ketogenic diet does not contain any dietary carbohydrates. It is mostly composed of meat and fat with some raw fruits and vegetables allowed.
As we know by now, all the “experts” on nutrition see the raw and the cooked vegetables and fruits as the one and the same thing.
Those of you following my work are very well aware of the difference between those two. They are so vastly different that they cannot be possibly referred to as even similar compounds.
This makes the ketogenic diet a correct way of eating since there is no dietary (cooked or processed) glucose available in it. When the experts on the ketogenic diet say that it is low on carbohydrate, they refer to the raw vegetables and fruits and not the cooked ones.
So the word carbohydrate in this context is a misconception since it is not released from the cellulose and has absolutely no influence on our blood picture. Only simple sugar, the fructose is available.
I had explained many times that raw vegetables and fruits bring absolutely no energy into our body and eating them is a wasted time. We only lose energy by running the digestion which cannot digest them.
There are many more misconceptions related to the ketogenic diet.
For one, all “experts” think that the ketone bodies are only made in the liver. That the liver sends them into the bloodstream, our cells then absorb those ketones and use them to create cellular energy.
It is very easy to look at it this way because as I often mention, all the knowledge we receive in the indoctrination institutions we call the schools is, faulty.
Utilizing this knowledge points us in this direction. We are told that only liver produces ketone bodies, shoots them into the blood and then the cells use it to produce energy.
This is a major lie.
Yes, the liver is producing some ketone bodies but more as a support and messaging system and not to nourish the cellular structure of our body.
Further, we are told that our cells will use ketone bodies when it is low on glucose or in a starvation.
This is a completely false way of looking at it. It is a false science spread intentionally to make it very difficult for doctors and nutritionists to discover the truth.
So if everything we are being told is false, how does the ketogenic diet really work?
The ketogenic state is the normal state to be in for all animals, humans included.
This is a state where the cells of the body produce their energy utilizing fat and not glucose.
When our body uses fat as its energy source, the triglyceride is used. In the cytoplasm, triglycerides are stripped of glycerol and converted to acetyl CoA before it can enter the mitochondria. Here the CoensimeA enters the citric cycle of energy production.
By further processing, the CoA is changed into ATP energy units.
As the energy stores are filling up more and more ATP is converted into the ketone bodies. The ketone starts to accumulate as the quick response fuel since the animal body has various levels of activity and the energy needs are always different.
Producing the energy directly from the triglyceride is a long process so as soon as the electric charge is adequate some fat is transformed into the ketone bodies since utilizing them makes much faster energy production. The ketone bodies can be stored to a certain concentration and as the cell is reaching its saturation point, the ketone is starting to seep into the blood.
As the level of ketone in the blood is rising, the appetite is being suppressed and the level of triglyceride in the blood is dropping.
This is how properly functioning body reacts to its environment.
As you can see, the liver’s involvement is marginal in this process.
Many “experts” argue that the fat cannot possibly be a satisfactory energy source for the brain because the brain needs a huge amount of energy.
Well, this is why the neurons have in an access of 4 thousand mitochondria active to make sure that the energy production is met, plus the stores of ketone and if necessary there are ketones circulating in the blood and plasma so that the brain and the rest of the nervous system always have enough energy available.
This is not the case when glucose is in question and as I have explained in my previous articles, working on a limited energy source is very stressful to the brain.
The proponents of the ketogenic diet argue that the body is in a state of ketosis only when there is an elevated number of ketones in the blood.
As you can see, this is not true.
Even after we had fruits or milk, the body remains in a state of ketosis no matter what the level of blood ketone has been drastically reduced.
The cells remain to operate on fat and ketones but by reducing the blood ketone, the signaling is created indicating that the cells need more fat for the energy production.
The only way to get off the ketogenic process is to serve the cells with glucose through the food we eat. This completely messes the environment of the cells and creates all of the genetic errors we have been told about.
There is no such a thing as a safe dietary glucose level in our diet.
Krys who is visiting me from Australia and I had several conversations about the ketone in the blood. He brought a ketone blood meter so we had been checking the ketone blood levels. He has been doing this for some time now and we had realized what function fruits have in our diet.
The fruit season is always in the fall before winter comes. The omnivores like the bear or boar or raccoon…start eating the ripe sweet fruits. Their blood ketone level drops down and they feel hungrier. They start eating more and accumulate more fat that will last them in the winter months when the food sources are more difficult to come by.
Dropping the bananas from my breakfast shake convinced me that this is the correct mechanism since as I had eliminated the bananas, I do not have sweet-tooth anymore and I do not look for snacks when I sit down to watch a movie at night.
Angie from Australia, Damir from Croatia, Eddie from Ohio did the same with exactly the same results.
Now I can safely say that the next step in battling the obesity when you want to get rid of the belly fat and become a lean mean machine is eliminating all fruits, milk, yogurt, honey and any other source of fructose or other sugar from the menu while eating correctly. This will kill your desire for food and allow you to rapidly take down the last unwanted pounds.
The Self Healers Protocol shows great results in slimming down but if you want to be able to show your six pack clearly, the elimination of fruits from the diet may be necessary unless you are willing to work hard in the gym.
It is not that the fruits make you fat. They reduce ketone in your blood and this makes you want to eat.
The pathway of reducing the blood ketone by consuming sugar is mental and it acts through the hormonal activity but this is not important since now we know the culprit and the basic mechanism on which our body functions.
Every animal in nature is constantly in a state of ketosis, only domestic animals and humans eating dietary carbohydrates are not and this is why they are sickly and with short lives.
Love and light to us all.
Thank You for writing about this. So, what does your meal, or meals, consist of ???? Thank You . . . .
Penny, I have the banana shake with 4-5 eggs in it and often this is my only meal in a day.
Since I love chocolate I was having it to often and had gained some weight. To take it off, I have eliminated the bananas from the shake and introduced some raw and almost raw animal proteins and fats.
Have you heard of the carnivore diet? What’s your take on it?
People love to put label on everything.
Eating meat and animal fats is the healthiest thing that we can do as long as they have not been preserved with chemicals and if they are raw or as raw as possible.
We do not need fruits and vegetables in our diet but what we need is minerals so water with sea salt is a must.
I own keton meter for 5 years now, and i have told you about how small amount of carbs can interfere with keton production but you ignore it. Well now you know.
Ante there is a difference being in the ketogenic state and having elevated levels of blood ketone.
As I had explained in the article, your body is in ketogenic state even if the blood ketone is not existent if you eat correctly. The only difference is your hunger and your desire to eat brother.
As I have mentioned previously, I am now eating meat and drinking sea salt water…no cravings for any of the foods I once could not do without.
However, I keep gaining unwanted pounds. I have added more fat to each meal, but still, those extra pounds. I thought that my body would at some point start consuming it’s own fat, but this is not happening and at this writing I am twenty pounds more than I should be which is affecting the disc problem I have in my back.
Also, my blood glucose has elevated and I am wondering if there is sugar in digested meat, because meat is all I am eating.
Haily, controlling weight when we are eating correctly is very easy.
Since there are no cravings for food, it is easy to eat less. So if you want to reduce weight first start to eat less fats since the fat is packed with calories. Also eat once a day as we are supposed to eat. Have the meat as raw as possible but drink at least 3 litres of water with sea salt daily.
Your cells will be provided with triglyceride from the food you eat or from your deposits if there was not enough of them in your food.
Blood sugar levels do not rise on this type of diet so examine what you are eating love.
Thanks Darko. I am drinking the right amount of salt water, so now i will reduce my two meat meals to one and give up the extra fat. Although there are no cravings, I do get hungry, so I am curious to see if I will still need the same amount of meat with one meal…maybe I can naturally reduce this also. I’ll send you an update in a month.
Hi Haily, What kind of meat dishes and fats do you eat? Would love some ideas. Thanks.
Hi Jerri, After two years of experimenting with my body, I am now eating only from the animal kingdom. My current preferences are in this order: rib eye steaks, hamburgers, eggs and butter. I sort of brown the meat on both sides to warm it, but is mostly raw. On occasion I might add small amounts of bacon and maybe salmon.
I am now eighty three and finding it harder to loose weight than when I was younger. Because of this and with Darko’s last recommendation, I have eliminated the extra pieces of fat I was obtaining from my butcher. You may not need to and they are delicious quickly browned and Celtic salted along side the meat, keeping it all as raw as possible to retain the nutrients.
Also, several months ago I eliminated my favorite treat, still from the animal kingdom, but I will share it here for those of you who can tolerate it. I will, when I reach my goal, reintroduce it to my body and hope it agrees. Since I prepare to taste and do not measure, if you are interested it trying, you will need to experiment
Blend raw egg yolks and raw heavy cream (or whipping cream from the market) and pour over seltzer water. Sweeten to taste, if necessary,
I hope this has helped you on your journey.
Dear Haily,
I love your commitment to eating for health. I love the details you provide and the experiments you run on yourself with reports back to us here.
Will you tell us some details on a few things?
-Does your skin show the improved health?
-Are you stronger with better muscle tone?
-Does loose skin go away once all sugar consumption is stopped?
-Do you sleep deeper or longer or better.. for how long?
-Do injuries disappear almost instantly?
-Do you ever actually get sick now?
If you don’t want to reply here, send answers to Darko and he will forward to me.
I am very interested to know these things.
Thank you.
Best to you,
MarkB
Hello Mark,
Thank you for your kind words. I will be glad to reply to your questions here, with the hope that we can continue to help others…
-Does your skin show the improved health?
I believe that for my age my skin is terrific. My skin definitely does not look dried up and with no “nips and tucks” I am not concerned with the age related wrinkles.
-Are you stronger with better muscle tone?
Since I have degenerating discs in my neck and back I am not able to work out like you probably do, but I walk one to five miles a day, sometimes alone and sometimes with my canine companion, Haily. Here in Main US we have brutal winters, but after each snowfall (and there are many) I have my helpers bring their snowblower and clear the quarter mile track I laid out on my property. It is here that Haily and I hike each day. My cottage is in the woods and I am blessed to have the solitude and beautiful nature. It is also easy to meditate here and communicate with my two sons who have crossed over, but are also here with me.
-Does loose skin go away once all sugar consumption is stopped?
I haven’t used sugar for many years. I will let you know about any loose skin once I shrink this body down to proper size.
-Do you sleep deeper or longer or better.. for how long?
I sleep between 5 and 8 hours each night and sometimes catch myself during the day when I wake up in front of the computer after a ‘cat nap’. This is really quite funny to me because I used to laugh at my father when he did this and now…look at me.
-Do injuries disappear almost instantly?
Thankfully, I haven’t had any injuries for a long time.
-Do you ever actually get sick now?
NO!
Thank you Haily Team, including incorporeals!
Well, you are a special person…so the ‘Darko Magic’ may work extra well for you.
You also answered every question… so you are a ‘thorough burro’ too in my book.
I also live in the wilds, on an 80 foot wide river, across from me is ancient forest never touched (all the fallen trees slowly rotting, nests and homes for so many of the kingdom). The last 3 weeks a young elk has been serenading me morning, afternoon and night with a menagerie of calls as he tries to lure the fems into his woody cathedral for a bit of lust & protection. Hawks rowing the skies above are in calling-courtship season, another kind of screeching come-hither beckoning puncturing sky above. You can tell the male hawk, always circling above the female with his claws hanging down (he’s 30% smaller too).
When you are alone you own everything :__/0)
See you at the internet.

Thank you Haily! Dealing with food craving is the hardest part for me.
Jeri, stick with Darko’s protocol and food cravings will disappear like magic!
Darko I remember reading that you were experimenting with copper. Are you still doing this? Also, what made you experiment with copper, why not zinc, or both? Can the body produce zinc from copper? Everyone talks about copper toxicity so I’m just curious on you thoughts.
Mark, those talking on the copper toxicity are just repeating the fake science.
I had not encounter any toxicity and all of those symptoms of a copper toxicity are the general symptoms of cleansing.
Body does not produce zinc from copper. We need the two for the body to function properly but they do not interact one with each other the way we are being told.
I found that the copper is safe to supplement with but it has to be a pure copper, the one we refer to as the copper 1.
You can make it by substituting the silver rods with pure copper rods and the production takes twice the time of producing the colloidal silver.
Haily why don’t you try a waterfast, it is really not difficult when you are on the protocol and you will lose weight very fast.
Marja
Thanks Mamika,, but I am already fasting sixteen to twenty hours each day. I am first taking Darko’s suggestion and cutting back on the fat and will see if this helps. A longer fast may indeed be what I need.
All this doesn’t make sense. Eating animals only? no vegetables? are you serious?
putting peoples health at risk..
Dear Joanne,
This will probably never make sense without the proper research. If I were in your shoes, I would read the best information online, which IMO is the clear information in Darko’s books. I would also keep an open mind and approach this as a new adventure.
It was and continues to be a thrilling discovery of the truth for me.
May your journey lead to improved health and happiness.
