Since my first video in nutrition over 5 years ago, I have been recommending a diet extremely low or without any sugars. The body is made of fat and protein and there is truly very little, if any, need for carbohydrates. Nearly every indigenous diet recorded by researches is very low in sugar - less than 10-20% of calories from carbs in most cases. Whereas the modern diet is often as high as 80-90% in carbohydrate calories. Now modern science is starting to catch up. This is a great article that teaches how carbohydrates feed cancer cells, weaken the immune system, cause poor health in muscle, organ and brain tissue, and are unnecessary for physiological function. The Restricted Ketogenic diet has research to show that it is more effective than any other dietary approach for cancer - even the more popular alternative approaches like the Gerson Method (~30% successful) and Juice Feasting (never properly studied) which essentially starve the body of everything it needs to prosper - not only the cancer cells. Essentially the RK diet is a combination of Caloric Restriction - the only firmly established method of increased lifespan - and Ketogenic diets - consuming foods high in fat and protein and low in sugar. The general idea is to give the body only what it needs - not excess and not deficiency in any essential area (fat, protein, vitamins, minerals). One important strength of the Restricted Ketogenic diet is that it relies on proper scientific studies and not bogus claims - unlike so many modern fad diets. It is important in all areas of life that we look to real world results and not be satisfied with claims of the miraculous and loose philosophies based on emotionally-driven ethics and pie-in-the sky thinking. I hope that this helps you on your life journey. Living in a healthy body is very important for mental, emotional and spiritual success - because the body is the interface between our spirit and this human world. A body sick and toxin-filled will interfere with how we express as spirit into matter. This is why most ancient spiritual systems began with physical purification techniques - like yoga, right living, dietary restrictions, fasting, lent, reduction of passions, removal of gluttony, living in harmony with nature, etc. Please share this article and my post to any friends or family seeking better health. I wish you all the best. Blessings and Love.
