The Budwig Ketogenic
Diet Tips
Many
people have asked us about the role of fruit
sugar and carbohydrates in an anti-cancer diet...
So
we initially decided to create an e-book addendum,
explaining ketogenic (low carb)
diets and how they can benefit from Dr. Budwig's
core principles.
But
since we got so many inquiries and not been
able to finish the addendum we decided to offer
personalized dietary guidelines combining the
Budwig Diet with carbohydrates restrictions.
Q.
[Via Facebook] would you please let
me know more information about the Budwig/Ketogenic
Diet or any other relevant information relating
to the combination of these two diets. Thank
you
A.
Combining the concepts of Ketogenic diet and
the Budwig diet involves a diet that is low
in carbohydrates - mostly from green vegetables
and maybe minute amounts of whole grains, moderate
protein intake in the form of cottage cheese
or cold processed whey protein as part of the
Budwig Muesli, and high fat intake in the form
of cold pressed seed oils at a omega 6 to 3
ratio of about 1 to 1, and coconut oil. This
diet can be done every day or 2 to 3 days of
the week. In general fruits and honey should
be avoided and replaced with vegetables and
stevia in modest amount.
Q.
[Via Facebook] Would you tell me more
about the Budwig/Ketogenic Diet?
A.
A
Budwig type low carb/ ketogenic diet would get
most of its calories provided by flax and coconut
oils. The moderate amount of protein would be
from the cottage cheese, along with another
non-starchy preferably organic protein of choice
prepared in a non-carcinogenic way (i.e. grilling).
You would prioritize non starchy vegetables
for your carbohydrate source, and could also
include 1-2 spoons of starch carbohydrates at
the end of meal.
For
women especially, he recommends carbohydrate
restriction be intermittent, rather than constant.
If
you would like more guidance, I can arrange
a dietary workup for you with Dr. Gene. He breaks
down this dietary approach for his patients
in great detail. |
