From my experience:

I tried the Ketogenic diet, which is a low carb, high (HEALTHY) fat diet. Instead of getting my sources of energy from carbohydrates and sugars (glucose), I got my energy from fat (ketone bodies).

What I did:

Ate organic veggies

Eliminated all processed foods

Eliminated all sugars (occasionally ate fruit)

Eliminated grains and legumes

Avoided dairy unless it was full fat and organic

Used healthy oils to cook(coconut, olive, avocado, grass-fed butter)

Ate grass-fed beef and pork & pastured chicken

Fasted Intermittently

Drank at least 1/2 - 1 gallon of water a day

Results:

Lost 23 lbs in 2 months

More endurance when working out

Clearer thinking & memory
