Intermittent fasting is a timing strategy that complements the ketogenic diet by extending time in a low-insulin, fat-burning state. By limiting eating windows, the body accesses stored fat, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports cellular repair through autophagy. When paired with keto, fasting accelerates ketosis, reduces hunger, simplifies eating, and restores metabolic flexibility—without calorie counting or deprivation.

The ketogenic diet is a metabolic therapy, not a fad. By drastically reducing carbohydrates and emphasizing healthy fats with moderate protein, keto shifts the body from glucose dependence to fat-derived ketones for fuel. This lowers insulin and blood sugar, improves energy and appetite control, and restores metabolic flexibility. When done as clean keto with whole foods, it supports long-term metabolic health beyond weight loss.

Water fasting—a practice of consuming only water—offers rapid fat loss, improved insulin sensitivity, mental clarity, and cellular repair via autophagy. Initial weight loss is mostly water, but fasting triggers a fat-burning state and norepinephrine boost. While effective, it carries risks like electrolyte imbalance and fatigue. Preparation and medical guidance are essential for safe results.

Fat Fiction (2021) is an indie documentary exposing how flawed science led to the U.S. government's promotion of the harmful low-fat diet. It features top experts in ketogenic and low-carb nutrition, including Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Sarah Hallberg, Dr. Jason Fung, Prof. Tim Noakes, and others, who challenge conventional dietary guidelines and advocate for high-fat, low-carb approaches to combat obesity, diabetes, and chronic disease.

A ketogenic diet may help prevent or improve brain disorders like Alzheimer’s, often referred to as “Type 3 diabetes” due to insulin resistance in the brain. Studies and expert interviews suggest ketones from low-carb diets or coconut oil can enhance cognition and memory, reduce inflammation, and improve quality of life in those with Alzheimer’s. Research shows ketosis may be a promising, natural approach to early neuro-degeneration.
