Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) & Ketogenic
The brain runs better on ketones. The body makes its own glucose as needed. We don't need to eat carbohydrates in any form, nor fibre.

Core Concepts
- Ketosis — The body burns fat for fuel, producing ketones as a superior, biologically aligned energy source.
- Insulin reduction — By avoiding carbohydrates, insulin levels drop, allowing the body to access stored fat.
- Gluconeogenesis — The body makes any glucose the brain needs; dietary sugar is unnecessary.
- Intermittent Fasting — Extends the low-insulin state, promoting autophagy and metabolic health.
