Introduction

The causes and cures for obesity are easily understood. Obesity is caused by eating refined carbohydrates (white flour, white rice, sweet drinks, etc.) and is cured by replacing refined carbohydrates with healthy fats, proteins, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. This is an easy fix, and you won’t go hungry doing it. And your overall health will improve a lot. Your liver will recover, and if you eat fermented foods every day, your immune system will be much stronger. Overall health starts with a healthy liver and a healthy gut.

Being overweight and unhealthy is bad enough, but there is more. When you are overweight, your liver, heart, pancreas, digestive system, etc. are in a state of rapid decline. Children are now being found to have type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease.

The absolute beauty of dieting and losing weight is that the foods are much healthier. While dieting, you are also becoming healthier and increasing your lifespan. By incorporating new research into intermittent fasting, longevity, sugar, cognitive therapy, meditation, the keto diet, and healthy fats, there is no better time than now to transform your body and your life.

Intermittent fasting is also a great way to get into shape. It is closely linked to the keto diet: eat less sugar and burn your fat for energy instead. You are doing the same thing when you fast. By not eating for 14 hours, your body will burn fat for energy. They are complementary methodologies.

So is eating fermented, probiotic-rich food. When your gut microbiome, or healthy bacteria, is plentiful, you will have more energy, a better metabolism, and a stronger immune system. Foods that are also beneficial to a keto diet, like kefir, sauerkraut, kombucha, and yogurt, are welcome on a keto diet.

On the keto diet, the focus is on fats, proteins, olive oil, and leafy green vegetables. After your blood sugar has normalized and you have lost a significant amount of weight, perhaps in three months, you can maintain your current lifestyle for the rest of your life. You can cut back on the fat and increase the variety of fruits and vegetables. However, you should never eat highly processed or refined foods again. And continue your daily walks, runs, surfing, and tennis. On the keto diet, the focus is on fats, proteins, olive oil, and leafy green vegetables.

And continue your daily walks, runs, surfing, and tennis.

The main reason many of us are overweight is because the US government, in 1977, advised us to cut down on fat and increase our carbohydrates, thinking that fat is bad for your heart, which is still their recommendation. Oils replaced butter, and they are poisonous. Refined vegetable oils are extremely bad for you. They, like margarine, are also a result of the American guidelines to reduce fat. This was the beginning of the low-fat, high-carbohydrate era that is still with us now. The US government has sent millions of Americans, Australians, and Englishmen to an early grave with this wrong advice. The replacement for fats became refined sugar and starches. Something far more deadly for us, especially our hearts, than healthy fats.

Now, the American Heart and Diabetes Associations advise everyone to reverse this advice and eat fewer carbohydrates and eat some fat, like bacon, cheese, butter oils, milk, yogurt, meat, etc. The main reason for this is that refined carbohydrates, like donuts, bread, pasta, and margarine, which are much worse than fat, replaced the fat. Research says that refined sugar increases inflammation, causes heart disease, and should only be consumed in fruit and vegetables.

One reason why vegetables, protein, and fats are eaten and not carbohydrates in the keto diet is because they don’t create much sugar in your body, so your body uses stored fat, or ketones, for energy instead.

It is the constant snacking, usually on junk food, that causes you to gain weight. Back in the good old days, a roast dinner would keep you full all day and not make you fat. If you do intermittent fasting and don't eat from 8 p.m. to noon, you'll be able to control how often you snack and how much junk food you eat.

Another thing to keep in mind is that refined carbohydrates raise, then lower, your blood sugar and insulin levels, making you feel constantly hungry. When you eat protein, vegetables, and fats, you stay full for hours, and the energy is slowly released.

And counting calories in a diet is not the best way to diet. 1 egg, 155 calories, and 2 slices of bread, 140 calories, have the same number of calories. But the egg does not spike your blood sugar. It will supply you with constant energy for hours. This means if you are doing your own diet, you need to match low calories with low-glycemic foods to burn fat and have energy.

White bread and glucose have been given the highest possible rating of 100 on the hypoglycemic index because they raise blood glucose levels higher and quicker than most other foods. Another reason we eat so much fast food is because of women’s liberation in the 1970s. When women entered the workforce in equal numbers as men, the consumption of fast food skyrocketed because, understandably, women were often too tired or lacked the time to cook.

Obesity is a disease caused by eating too many refined carbohydrates (sugar, starch, and fiber). We consume refined carbohydrates as a quick energy source, as a treat because we don't have to cook, through addiction, and as a result of government and food industry propaganda: excess is converted to fat. Our body does not even need to eat carbohydrates to be healthy; only fat and protein are needed. Type 2 diabetes is one of many diseases caused by refined carbohydrate consumption.

We all know that fast food and refined foods are unhealthy. If we are healthy and not overweight, then our diet includes fruits, vegetables, protein, nuts, seeds, fats, and whole grains. When our diets have a lot of refined carbohydrates and few natural fruits, vegetables, and fats, then we become obese and unhealthy.

After a meal, glucose enters the liver, and levels of blood glucose rise. This excess glucose is dealt with by glycogenesis, in which the liver converts glucose into glycogen for storage.

Excessive carbohydrates can destroy your liver through fatty liver syndrome.

Luckily, there is a remedy for this: the keto diet. by replacing pizza, spaghetti, soda, fruit juices, donuts, seed oils, sugar, cake, hamburgers, etc, with vegetables, fruit, protein, fats, nuts, a little olive oil, and seeds, we can get our health back in 3 or 4 months.

Vegetables are full of polyphenols, a group of compounds found in plant foods that are very beneficial for health. They’re naturally found in many plant-based foods, like fruits, vegetables, herbs, tea, red wine, and dark chocolate.

Polyphenols act as antioxidants in the body, meaning they help protect the body and neutralize free radicals that cause damage to cells. Free radicals are highly reactive oxygen molecules produced by normal cellular processes and external factors like radiation, air pollution, smoking, and chemical exposure.

Polyphenols lower blood sugar, increase insulin sensitivity, decrease cancer risk, reduce inflammation, improve heart health and digestion, and boost brain function.

Foods high in polyphenols include broccoli, carrots, spinach, red lettuce, onions, asparagus, artichokes, shallots, red wine, dark chocolate, garlic, tea, herbs, oats, rye, wheat, chilies, basil, ginger, peppermint, oregano, kale, coffee, parsley, soybeans, black beans, tofu, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples, cherries, oranges, plums, turmeric, almonds, pecans, chestnuts, and

One cup of black coffee per day reduces the risk of developing diabetes by 8%.

And, equally important as polyphenols, are the good bacteria, or probiotics, found in fermented foods.

A healthy gut microbiome is the number one thing you must have to live a long, slim, and healthy life.

When your microbes and healthy bacteria are low, you can suffer from depression, anxiety, and mood swings, as well as obesity.

When you take a course of antibiotics, you wipe out all your good gut bacteria. This is a disaster.

It is not a good idea to restrict your calorie intake in order to lose weight. Carbohydrate calories and fat calories are not the same. Another equally good thing to do while following the Mediterranean diet is intermittent fasting.

This allows your microbiome and your body to recharge. It helps reduce your intake of food and snacking. This entails only eating within 10 hours. For example, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. or 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. People who fast have more energy, sleep better, have better moods, have reduced inflammation, and have less reflux and heartburn.

The bottom line is to cut out all refined carbs that give you a quick fix and replace them with organic vegetables and fermented foods. There is a sugar spike when you eat refined carbohydrates that shoots up and then goes down again. needing continual fixes.

By doing a keto diet for 3 months, you will improve your health, lose weight, and reduce your risk of diabetes, and it will reintroduce fats, fermented foods, and vegetables into your long-term diet.

Not only can obesity be cured this way, So can type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, inflammation, hypertension, depression, liver disease, lethargy, etc.

By going on a ketogenic diet, you will lose weight and replace a lot of poisonous foods with more healthy ones. To get into and stay in ketosis, a keto diet restricts all carbohydrates to around 20 grams per day. When you are in ketosis, your body burns fat and uses it as an energy source.

There is irrefutable evidence that a high-carb diet (with too much sugar) creates many health and psychological problems. Type 2 diabetes, depression, obesity, tiredness, eating disorders, inflammation, hypertension, etc.

All refined carbohydrates should be replaced with healthy fats. like grass-fed butter, avocados, coconut, egg yolks, and olive oils. Fats have double the calories of carbohydrates, yet the energy is slowly released and there are no glucose spikes. and no insulin is released. Fats are a necessary macronutrient for humans. Up to 70 percent of our brain is made of fat. Fat is very important for proper brain function.

For a millennium, humans never consumed many carbohydrates; they survived very well on fats and protein until 1980, when the US government issued health guidelines to increase carbohydrates and reduce fats. thinking this would be better for your heart, and it wasn’t.

This has been a disaster for the world. The main reason you are overweight is because of these wrong guidelines. By reducing your carbohydrates and increasing fats, like on a keto diet, you can reverse type 2 diabetes, lose weight fast, have more energy, and be perfectly healthy.

We have replaced natural, healthy fat with sugar, refined flour, and trans fats (partially hydrogenated oil) in margarine and some vegetable oils. Trans fats are linked to heart disease, inflammation, higher levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol, and lower levels of HDL (good) cholesterol, according to studies. Fried fast foods, such as fried chicken, battered fish, doughnuts, French fries, and mozzarella sticks, all contain high levels of trans fat. Bakery goods such as muffins, cakes, pastries, and pies are often made with vegetable shortening or margarine.

Refined sugar is pure poison and is the main creator of inflammation, the prime starting point for many diseases. Sugar, which is made up of glucose and fructose molecules, is a poison because of the way our bodies break it down. When you metabolize fructose in excess, your liver has no choice but to turn that energy into liver fat, and that liver fat causes all of the downstream metabolic diseases. Like glycation, oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, and membrane instability. It is not about obesity; it is about metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance.

Overall health and happiness depend on being healthy and trim. This can be accomplished by consuming fermented foods such as kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, and kombucha, as well as maintaining a healthy digestive system and liver by replacing refined carbohydrates, most carbohydrates, with healthy fats and protein. Cutting out trans fats, margarine, and seed oils and replacing them with olive oil will make a huge difference, as will eating organic, whole foods.

Governments are ruled by big business, and big business is ruled by profits. There is no way you can believe your government or most doctors care a fig about you or your health, only your money. Through taxes, pharmaceutical companies, doctors, and processed food producers (farmers and factories), you are being fleeced.

If you only understand this one thing in this book, you will be trim and healthy: governments, doctors, pharmaceutical companies, and food companies have made you sick and fat. But you now have the knowledge and the means to save yourself—a cheap and simple diet known as keto. supported by hundreds of doctors, the American Diabetes Association,
