strict ketogenic diets vs Keto light versions

For Indians, it appears that it would be most prudent to have a diet with about 50 per cent carbohydrate (using complex carbs and whole grains such as brown rice or whole wheat) about 20-25 per cent protein (preferably from vegetable proteins such as legumes and pulses) and the remaining 25-30 per cent from healthy fats like monounsaturated fats (e.g. groundnut oil or mustard oil and nuts and seeds) along with plenty of green leafy vegetables. Such a diet may not immediately give dramatic results as far as weight reduction is concerned. However, it will be sustainable in the long term and will be less risky and certainly more healthy and also help prevent non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.

10 Health Benefits of Low-Carb and Ketogenic Diets

Many studies show that low-carb and ketogenic diets can lead to dramatic weight loss and improve most major risk factors for heart disease and diabetes. Also, repeatedly shown (but not always) to help with or reverse PD and other neurologicsal conditions

Low-Carbohydrate Diet, animal based, cause an increased risk for coronary artery calcification

Low carb diets (LCDs starting at a young age are associated with an increased risk of subsequent coronary artery calcification (CAC) progression, particularly when animal protein or fat are chosen to replace carbohydrates.

Could a Carnivore Diet Help with Autoimmune Disorders e.g PD

Guy: At this time I could find very few cases of trying carnivore for PD, actually none doing 100% carnivore.

According to Ronda Patrick below, Carnivore naturally includes caloric restriction, intermittent fasting, changes to the microbiome, low carb diet, and consuming more cholesterol those are 5 powerful tools which do not require a long term carnivore diet, which is a risk.

The one tool unique to a carnivore is eliminating all!! lectins (toxic molecules found in plants.

How significant is that in relation to the other tools and the diet outcome is yet to see.

another player to consider is MTOR high protein diet might shift it towards activation instead of deactivation

so, waiting for this to clear

P.M. :

In the following video, Dr. Ronda Patrick talks to Joe Rogan about the anecdotal evidence that suggests a carnivorous diet may be effective in alleviating the symptoms of autoimmune disorder, PD and other neurological conditions. She talks about her extensive 30-page work covering the trend towards a restrictive animal only diet. She discusses why someone would try this diet and how many immune disorder sufferers are trying low-carb high-protein diets because of the anecdotal reports they have heard.

Dr. Patrick talks about various studies related to high-protein diets and studies related to resetting your immune system through diet. This fascinating podcast brings up the anecdotal evidence and studies of various diets and their effect on autoimmune disorders and PD neurological conditions. She also discusses the effect of fasting, the potential damage of various diets, the modified Ketogenic diet, and the mechanisms that happen in the body when you restrict your diet or fast.

Cholesterol Provides Some Protection Against PD 

Michael E. McEvoy the founder of Metabolic Healing gives a summary of studies on the connection between cholesterol, Parkinson’s Disease, and statins. Cholesterol plays an important role in PD, yet it is very controversial for different reasons. A 2018 cohort study found higher total cholesterol and LDL was associated with a decreased risk of PD over time for men, but not for women. The 2008 Honolulu-Asia Aging study found PD incidence increased with decreasing LDL-C levels in a dose-dependent manner for men aged 71-75. A 2006 Rotterdam-based study found higher total cholesterol associated with a significantly decreased risk of PD in women only. A 2017 study of 2,322 PD patients found high cholesterol associated with lower PD risk. These studies establish that higher cholesterol is associated with lower PD risk.

Studies that have found statins were protective have been criticized for having significant population bias. As yet no study which has shown statin protection against PD has accounted for patients with hyperlipidemia (these studies have excluded patients with hyperlipidemia). A 2017 study investigating the possibility of statins used in association with PD suggested that statin use may facilitate the onset of pre-clinical PD.

Types of Keto Testing, Blood Glucose Testing, and Types of Exogenous Ketones

Mike Mutzel from High Intensity Health (author of Belly Fat Effect) talks to Frank Llosa of KetoneAid. KetoneAid produces a Ketone Ester (raw beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) ketone) supplement that can get you into a deep state of ketosis within 30 minutes. You would have to fast or go on an intense ketogenic diet to reach the same ketosis state. There are different types of Keto testing, blood glucose testing, and different types of exogenous Ketones. Ketosis is influenced by BHB salts; Ketone supplements. There have been many discussions about the link between PD and the ketogenic diet. In one study PD patients were put on a ketogenic diet for a month and the results showed a 43% improvement in the Unified Parkinson’s Disease rating scale. There is no doubt that PD is affected by diet and nutrition so the ketogenic diet may offer relief from some symptoms.

Keto for PD: The William Curtis Story

Mike Mutzel from High-Intensity Health (author of Belly Fat Effect) talks to William Curtis about his PD journey and how a ketogenic diet changed his life. Curtis suffered from PD for over 17 years before he started exercising, fasting, and following a low-carb, ketogenic diet that remarkably improved his PD symptoms. Through trial and error, Curtis found the right balance in his diet. The William Curtis’ program for easing PD symptoms is not appropriate for everyone. For example, PD patients that have balance problems could do more harm to themselves if they followed Curtis’ diet. After 12 hours of fasting through the night, Curtis has a bulletproof coffee in the morning prepared with butter, heavy cream, coconut oil, and Stevia. This helps his PD symptoms and increases the ketone D-betahydroxybutyrate (BHB).

Could Fasting Help Control PD Symptoms?

This 2019 report in the National Library of Medicine (National Center for Biotechnology Information) looks at lifestyles and dietary habits associated with PD. A fasting mimicking diet (FMD), fasting 3 days followed by 4 days of refeeding for three 1-week cycles, which accelerated the retention of motor function and attenuated the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrathydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mice. Levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), known to promote the survival of dopaminergic neurons, were increased in PD mice after FMD, suggesting the involvement of BDNF in FMD-mediated neuroprotection. The findings showed that FMD also inhibited neuroinflammation and modulated the shifts in gut microbiota composition.

Can Plant-Based Diets Lower the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease?

A research article published in Plos One in2018 looks at results of multiple observational studies focused on one or more cardio-metabolic risk factors in vegans and omnivorous diets. Macro-nutrient intake and cardio-metabolic risk factors were compared by dietary pattern. People on vegan diets and others on omnivorous diets were compared for energy, saturated fats, body mass index, lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose levels, blood pressure. The results support the idea that plant-based diets are likely to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
