medicine and governmental public health agencies). He emphasizes that scientifi c research has shown that saturated fats: (1) raise the level of benign large, fl uffy LDL and HDL molecules, (but refi ned sugar/carbs increase health-compromising small, dense LDL molecules); (2) provide optimal brain fuel and important building blocks for cell membranes and hormones; (3) modify gene regulation and help prevent cancer (butyric acid); (4) increase mineral absorption (in- cluding calcium), carry fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, and promote conversion of carotenoids into vitamin A; (5) help com- bat viruses (caprylic acid); and (6) provide greater satiety than carbs and protein.
KT emphasizes concentrating these
healthy fats and high-fat foods in the diet: (1) high-fat dairy products (highly controver- sial since dairy products are well-known to promote infl ammation) ; (2) nuts and seeds (the only permitted source of PUFAs); (3) avocados; (4) 100% pure, organic, extra virgin olive oil and olives; (5) coconut oil (controversial); (6) MCT oil (a more concen- trated source of medium chain triglycerides than coconut oil); (7) cocoa butter; (8) raw, organic, grass-fed butter/ghee; (9) organic lard/tallow; and (10) other saturated animal fats (such as duck fat).
Some other KT-friendly foods include:
(1) many vegetables, including cruciferous, salad greens, celery, and cucumbers; (2) limited amounts of fruits, such as berries and grapefruit; (3) a range of proteins, including AGA-certifi ed grass-fed beef, pork, lamb, shellfi sh (all four are controversial), poultry, wild-caught fi sh, and organic eggs; and (4) certain sweeteners, such as stevia, monk fruit, and xylitol/erythritol (controversial).
