When you begin my approach, wait until your ketones reach at least 20 PPM on your breath meter before you start introducing small amounts of good carbs, like fresh fruits and dried fruits.
With my method, you should reach 20 PPM within one to two days, depending on how strictly you follow the plan in the beginning. A keto meter is recommended (I include more information concerning keto meters on this same page (Don’t worry, I got you).
The reason is because you first have to deplete your glycogen storage. Look, your pancreas produces insulin, which turns carbohydrates into glycogen. This is the stored sugar your body uses first for energy. Your body must burn through this reserve before it starts burning fat. That process usually takes a couple of days depending on how much muscle mass you have. The more muscle mass you have, the greater the glycogen reserve.
Once your glycogen is depleted, your body will then start depleting your fat reserves. Because it has to go through these stages first before feeding on body fat, it might take a week or two before you start noticing your weight starting to go down. So be patient. Give me two weeks and you should be in full control of your weight, if you follow my approach strictly.
Good carbs are non-threatening to my ketones. I focus on high-fiber vegetables and low-glycemic fruits. When ketones rise, you can eat all day without gaining weight.
Select High-Fiber Vegetable and Chop small into small pieces (chopped salad).
Here’s some small examples:
• Broccoli
• Celery
• Cauliflower
• Bell peppers
• Zucchini
Add protein (chicken, fish, steak, tuna, eggs). Ketones keep rising.
Some examples combine with vegetables:
• Blueberries
• Strawberries
• Raspberries
• Blackberries
• Pineapple chunks (sparingly)
Chop in small pieces and mix.
In the first week of consistent ketosis, add more fruit and good carbs as ketones climb. Higher ketones gives you more flexibility. However, if you add bad carbs (like GMO dough or highly processed flour), your ketosis will plummet and you will be kicked out of ketosis. So be very careful and follow my instructions carefully. Ancient grains or Breads made with ancient grains should not be introduced before the third week. Be patient.
Pair protein with any vegetables, for example:
• Steak + broccoli or zucchini
• Chicken + asparagus or green beans
• Fish or tuna + cauliflower and peppers
• Eggs + spinach and mushrooms
Make your own ancient grain bread or true sourdough at home. Store-bought versions cannot be trusted. They use processed flour instead of ancient grains, they add commercial yeast instead of a fermented starter, and contain preservatives and chemicals. Real sourdough uses a fermented starter, not yeast. Always bake it yourself so your ketones stay rising.
Best ancient grains for bread: einkorn, spelt, and kamut.
Best ancient grains for sourdough: spelt, einkorn, and emmer.
You can eat two, or even four slices. Add meat, tomatoes, olive oil, avocado, avocado mayonnaise, lettuce to make a sandwich. This combination keeps glucose low and ketones rising.
Build sandwich with ancient bread + protein + semi-solid fats, for example:
• Avocado
• Feta cheese
• Goat cheese
• Cottage cheese
• Ricotta cheese
This keeps glucose low and ketones rising.
I’m going to explain why I choose to give you the blueprint instead of naming every single food or giving recipes. Elohim didn’t give us a long list of specific animals to eat. Instead, He gave us a simple blueprint that is easy to remember and removes all confusion:
For land animals, he said to only eat those that have both split hooves and chew the cud.
For fish, he said to only eat those that have both fins and scales.
He made it very simple so we would not be confused. This clear guideline lets you know exactly what to choose, no matter where you are eating. Once you understand the blueprint, you can eat anywhere without needing recipes or further instructions.
Use only these oils: olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil. Avoid all others including lard and tallow.
• Deep Frying: avocado oil
• Pan Sauté and light frying: olive, non-organic coconut oil or avocado oil
• Pastries/Baking: organic coconut oil (sweet stronger coconut taste) or olive oil.
Important: When making pastries with ancient grains, never use granulated sugar or any highly processed sugar. These will spike your glucose and drop your ketones.
Use only stevia to sweeten your pastries. You may add a tablespoon of honey if you wish if you are on week four or beyond, but no more than that. This might drop your ketones levels, just a bit, depending how strong your keto levels are. However, you should regain fat burning strength in less than 18 hours.
Monitoring your ketones is extremely important. It puts you in full control of this path. With a meter, you have multiple options: you can add more carbs when your ketones are rising, or cut carbs to lose weight faster. Once you reach your desired weight, you can add carbs back to maintain.
In the long run, if your ketones are very high and you’re losing too much weight, you can choose to have a couple of days of higher-carb meals to balance it out. Once you have the understanding, you can play with your options in many different ways. You choose what action you will take to correct the weight issue. With my approach, it should take no more than 48 hours to correct any ketone issue.
The beauty of my approach puts you in control using the tools that you will learn on this single page. Test daily or multiple times a day with the ketone meter I recommended, so you stay in control.
Stay away from most cheap ketone meters sold in places like Amazon, Walmart, TEMU, eBay etc. Most are imported from other countries by manufacturers that only imitate the real devices. They are not accurate and will give you false readings.
I do not get any commission from these links or any types of rewards or kickbacks. Again, I don’t sell anything on my site. What I advertise is what I use.
Do not use urine test strips. They are useless and do not measure ketosis accurately.
• Plain water (main drink)
• Water kefir (for low inflammation)
Avoid cow’s milk, all smoothies, and juicing completely, juicing removes the fiber and will spike your blood sugar fast kicking you right out of ketosis and then you will have to start again from the beginning.
You can eat throughout the day as long as you follow the guidelines, but never snack between meals. That’s very important!
Ketoacidosis is a dangerous condition that only happens to people with uncontrolled diabetes, usually type 1. In this approach you should never be in danger of ketoacidosis. Because you are gradually adding more good carbs as your ketones rise, you stay in a safe and controlled range the entire time.
This is very different from the general way most people do keto. This is my twist. This is how I stay in full control, whether I want to lose weight, maintain, or add more meals and carbs to my lifestyle.
However, everybody is different and results vary. This is the reason why I also stress to get your ketone meter. I’m just sharing what I personally do. I’m not advising anybody to do it. Always consult your doctor and a nutritionist before trying anything on this website.
My reason for using this approach and manipulating ketosis to fit my specific needs comes from scripture. I always look to the Bible before making any decision in anything in life, including anything about fasting or ketones.
Here are the examples from scripture:
• Moses was on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights without eating or drinking anything, and he was perfectly fine.
• Yeshua fasted for 40 days.
The prophets and believers in scripture did the same thing.
Elohim will not allow something harmful to our bodies. If fasting for that long was dangerous, He would have warned us. Because He didn’t, I am confident this approach is safe.
However, this approach is not truly about fasting from food or water. It is about fasting from bad carbs, not good carbs. With my approach that I invented, Carbs will always be present. I am simply manipulating how I eat, what I add, and when to increase them. So there is really no danger for me. This allows me to maintain a healthy weight and constantly be eating all day.
However, due to people’s different health conditions and fragile bodies, some might be unable to follow this lifestyle. This is what I personally do. Again, I’m not asking anybody to do it or to follow this. I’m just sharing what I do. That is why you should always consult your doctor and a nutritionist before you decide to start.
