October 31, 2008, Newsletter Issue #140: Ketogenic diet food pyramid
Tip of the Week
The ketogenic diet structure is based on, and strongly supported by vast research. The diet is high in fat and low in protein and carbohydrates. The formula to calculate the amount of allowed carbohydrate, fat, and protein is:
K/A=(0.9 fat +0.46 protein) divided by (1.0 carb +0.1 fat+0.54 protein)
The numbers in front of nutrient names are coefficients that are calculated based on nutrient ability to cause ketosis. From this formula, the pyramid has fats (butter, oils, etc.) in its basis, there are fatty meats and fish above, higher level compose nuts and heavy cream, then leafy green vegetables, and only on top, there is a small place for the least starchy vegetables like cucumbers.
