in health •  7 years ago 

The ketogenic diet is hands down one of the most beneficial diets for anyone looking for overall health and longevity. Personally, we believe the best diet for the human body is one which was outlined by Dr. Weston A. Price. It just so happens that many of the foods which Dr. Price recommended for optimal health, is in fact ketogenic friendly.

For those unaware, Dr. Price was a dentist who studied various tribes around the world who were still consuming a traditional diet. Expecting to find disease and malnourishment rampant among the various tribes, Price found the complete opposite. He observed that these Native peoples were free from the disease of western society and extremely robust. He also saw that all of these people had a perfect set of teeth free of cavities, gum disease, and able to comfortably house their wisdom teeth (1).

The food in which these Natives were eating was completely different from what the west would consume, but in line with the ketogenic diet.

Price observed that a higher fat, low sugar, and moderate carbohydrate diet was typical among the various tribes he studied. However, all consumed adequate amounts of animal foods and prized the fat.
Ketogenic and Weight Loss

For those looking to lose weight, the ketogenic diet is perfect. As mentioned before, all the tribes in which price studied consumed some form of carbohydrate. Yet, these people still displayed amazing health. For this reason we have found that keeping carbohydrates around 100 grams a day is beneficial.

A study published in Experimental & Clinical Cardiology showed that obese patients who followed a ketogenic diet experienced drastic weight loss and cholesterol significantly improved. All carbohydrates were obtained from vegetables (2).
