Ketogenic Diet

The ketogenic diet is an interventional dietary therapy in which the majority of caloric intake is fat, allowing the body to transition into and sustain a state of nutritional ketosis, where the body has flipped its metabolic switch from using glucose to using fats and ketones for fuel, mimicking what happens to our bodies when we fast. The diet is high in fat, moderate in protein, and very low in carbohydrates. The ratios of macronutrients on a ketogenic diet can vary among individuals, but typically fall within the ranges of:Fat: 65-85% Protein: 15-35% Carbohydrate: 0-10%.

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting involves alternating periods of calorie restriction and normal eating. Intermittent fasting reduces the inflammation. You can eat pretty much whatever you want, but only during a specific period of time. There are a few different ways you can try intermittent fasting. With alternate day fasting, you fast every other day. The five: two plan involves eating normally for five days a week and limiting calories to 500 or less two days a week. And there’s the time-restricted approach where you go 12 to 16 hours restricting food. During Intermittent fasting, patients follow 16:8 schedule, fasting for about 16 hours per day and eating within an eight-hour window. Patients do this by starting their fast at night, skipping breakfast, and eating their first meal around lunchtime. That gives them another seven or so hours to feed themselves until tomorrow.

Therapeutic Juicing

Juicing as a therapy was first described by Dr. Max Gerson in the 1930s. Cancer patient consumes 8 glasses of fresh-pressed juice per day of carrot-apple and leafy green juices. Fresh pressed juice from raw foods provides the easiest and most effective way of providing high quality nutrition. By juicing, patients can take in the nutrients and phytochemicals in a manner that is easy to digest and absorb.

Plant-based Diet

There are many types of plant-based diets. The diets that have been most studied include the Mediterranean diet, the DASH diet, and the MIND diet. They all emphasize certain foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and healthy oils like olive oil. These diets are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
