We are so used to eggs being “bad guys” that now we are faced with a choice: Believe what we were taught since the 1950s or accept the new reality that whole eggs are, in fact, healthy. What do you do? What do you believe? Naturally, what you choose to believe will be your course of action. This eggs-are-now-healthy breakthrough is just one of countless examples. What is happening on a much bigger scale is the much-touted high-carb, low-fat “healthy” lifestyle is springing leaks. Holes are appearing in this rusty metal tub of a belief system. The ship is sinking. And it is time to abandon ship as quickly as you can. It is a paradigm shift, and it is happening now. It will take time for new breakthroughs to be tested and retested, and even more time for the public to be informed through the slow-to-change medical community and governmental agencies. One of my professors in medical school explained that in about 10 years, half of what we were being taught would be outdated and pretty much of no value. He noted, “The problem is, we don’t know which half that is.” Eventually, though, public opinion will shift. People will understand and accept the new paradigm, and then they will choose to take action. Unfortunately, that will take a very long time, and time is a commodity many of us do not have. For years I have treated patients who suffered from advanced cancers, obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, mental illness and much more. They needed help yesterday so they could be on the road to healing today. They were desperate, and they had no time to wait! Thankfully, we already have sufficient data, research, studies and real-life examples to know we are going in the right direction. What is more, many of my patients—who were written off by their own doctors—are alive and well today. The answer was not a pill, medication, pharmaceutical drugs or surgery. The answer was a nutritional one completely based on the food we eat. In a nutshell, this diet is low carb, high fat and moderate protein. It is incredibly healthy, and not only does it work to cure or manage disease, it is the best weight-loss method in the world. I call it the Keto Zone Diet. High Fat, Low Carb, Moderate Protein When you are in the keto zone, extra weight falls off. I’ve seen people lose as much as a pound per day, but one to two pounds per week is more common, perhaps three pounds with daily exercise. In a few weeks or months, the results are cumulative and astounding. Wait a minute, you might be thinking. Did you just say this was a high-fat diet? How can fat be healthy? To clarify, the Keto Zone Diet is a purposeful combination of reduced carbs, increased healthy fats and a moderate amount of healthy proteins. Yes, it is high fat, but it is also (and very importantly) low carb and moderate protein. These elements go together to create a body that is satisfied, alert, happy and fat-burning. When it comes to fats, not all are bad for you. However, we have been taught for so long that fats are bad, we have a very real and tangible fear of fat. And why not? The message from most doctors, food guidelines, trends magazines and every other “authority” in life tells us in big, bold letters that fat is BAD. In truth, healthy fats are good. They are necessary. They will help you lose weight. And no, they will not make you fat, clog your arteries or cause you to drop dead. The Keto Zone Diet works. It also cures or manages countless diseases. If you are ready for that, then come on.
