The assayed Ma - Pi 2
diet [20] is
lower in energy than the traditional one recommended for diabetic patients, but safe, with adequate satiating
effect due to the high fiber content, adequate in protein (12 %
of the total energy), with an acceptable amino acid score,
low in fat (15 %
of the total energy), and high in complex
carbohydrates (73 %).
A classical ketogenic
diet — with a staggering 70 - 90 percent
of total calories coming from fat — might not be necessary.51 Classical ketogenic
diets restrict protein as well as
carbohydrate, since 48 - 58 percent
of the amino acids in dietary proteins can be glucogenic, thereby undermining the purpose
of a
diet intended to generate a high amount
of ketones and limit glucose as much as possible.46 As therapy for AD, however, simply
lowering carbohydrate intake to a point where some ketones are generated and hyperinsulinemia is corrected could have positive
effects just by easing the metabolic burden on the brain.
If the primary metabolic change that occurs during fasting or a ketogenic
diet is a wholesale shift away from glucose and toward fatty acids and ketones for fuel, with the resultant
lowering of blood glucose and insulin levels and restoration
of insulin sensitivity, then reduced
carbohydrate consumption should lead to similar neuroprotective
effects.

With rudimentary laboratories, one could argue that more was accomplished with regards to the
effect of diet on cancer in the former half
of the century, as revolutionary researchers like Tannenbaum, Rous, and their colleagues provided us with dozens
of animal studies linking
diet and cancer by exposing mice to free radical - laden vegetable oils.32, 33 Several decades later, two other researchers, Dayton and Pearce, provided one
of the few studies revealing what happens when we give humans vegetable oils and their accompanying free radicals when they randomized men to a corn oil solution and a similar rise in cancer followed.34 It is no surprise that corn oil is often used in animal studies to cause cancer, as the ingestion
of damaging free radicals predictably hastens cancer development.35 Furthermore, these scientists were the first to show that fasting, restricting calories, and cutting
carbohydrates could
lower the chance
of cancer in animals exposed to dangerous chemicals and carcinogens.

Some researchers suggest that there are not in fact any metabolic advantages in
low -
carbohydrate diets and that weight loss results simply from reduced caloric intake, probably due to the increased satiety
effect of protein.12 Others instead promote the hypothesis that there is indeed a distinct metabolic advantage, which has recently been explored in more detail, raising interest in the role
of VLCKD in weight loss and
effects on metabolism in general.13 The first law
of thermodynamics, also known as the law
of conservation
of energy, has in
effect controlled the concepts for the basis
of weight loss for over a century — resulting in a difficulty in accepting other ways
of thinking.

Defining what represents a macronutritionally balanced

of protein for
carbohydrate has been shown to favor weight management, decrease blood pressure, and improve cardiometabolic biomarkers, including blood lipid and lipoprotein profiles and glycemic regulation.3 - 5 These beneficial
effects are partly dependent on weight loss and possibly owing to the enhanced postprandial satiety and energy expenditure when exchanging protein for
carbohydrate.6 Therefore, high - protein and
low -
carbohydrate diets have been promoted for weight loss and health improvement.
