The LifeCo’s Ketogenic (raw plant-based) Healthy Diet program is a nutrition plan in which the body gets all its energy from plant-based fats instead of from sugar and carbohydrates. This program has numerous benefits such as protection from cancer and support during post-cancer treatment, protection from cardiovascular diseases, strengthening the immune system, detox/cleansing, creating an anti-aging and renewal effect in the body and healthy weight loss where muscles are protected.

The raw plant-based Ketogenic diet plan is completely raw vegan and works on the nutritional intake of 60-70% plant-based fats, 20-30% protein and 5-10% carbohydrates, with a total daily net carb intake of 12g. To get the most effective and nutritional benefits, all meals are raw and prepared using blenders, foods processors and special dehydrators at temperatures below 41°C.

Daily caloric intake is 1000-1200 calories. Because the body metabolizes medium-chain triglycerides (MTCs) found in plants, vegetables, fruits, and seeds more quickly and easily, ketone production happens more quickly. During the program, plenty of water must be consumed.

Net Carb = a food’s Total Carbohydrates – Total Fiber

This way we ensure maximum enzymatic, vitamin, phytonutrients, oxygen and alkalinity potential being reached. This will allow the body to use less energy to digest food and absorb nutrients more effectively.

The ketogenic diet was developed 90 years ago by Dr. Russell Wilder as a treatment for epilepsy. The diet contains very high amounts of fats, high amounts of protein and very low amounts of carbohydrates. It was used successfully until the 1940s. With the development of different medications and the rapid growth of the pharmaceutical industry, the diet lost popularity until the 90s. Recently, it has begun being used to support and speed up the treatment of different illnesses.

It takes more work to turn fat into energy than it takes to turn carbs into energy. A ketogenic diet can help speed up weight loss because it takes more metabolic effort to use fat as the energy source than it takes to use carbs as an energy source. It also doesn’t leave you hungry like other diets because of its rich protein content.

When a proper preparation and a strict follow-up is in place, the ketogenic diet (NOT an animal-based one) can improve heart health by reducing cholesterol. Check this study showing that HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels significantly increased in those following the keto diet. The LDL (“bad”) cholesterol went down significantly.

Skin problems can be caused by various factors, one of the most prominent ones is the diet and blood sugar problems. Blood sugar fluctuations are usually caused by a diet based on processed food and high carb intake. Therefore, by decreasing carb and sugar intake, it’s not surprising that ketogenic diets improve skin conditions.

Some studies suggest that the ketogenic diet offers neuroprotective benefits. Keto diets usually help treat or prevent conditions like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and even some sleeping disorders. There is an amazing study showing that children following a form of a ketogenic diet had improved alertness and cognitive functioning.

A ketogenic diet causes more oxidative pressure in cancer cells than in normal cells. This study refers ketogenic diet as a suitable complementary treatment to conventional treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation. Ketogenic diet reduces blood sugar and this reduces blood sugar complications, which may be associated with some types of cancers.
