Terry Wahls' : The Wahls Protocol
Has anyone read this yet?
I'm particularly interested in the top phase of her program, which she calls "Wahls Paleo Plus" which is ketogenic but has very high vegetable requirements.
I'm currently experimenting with a paleo anti-inflammatory elimination diet and my carb count has almost tripled due to the higher veggies and daily serving of berries. I don't intend to stay on this super-restricted elimination forever, however, and I'm really interested to see what people think of Wahl's ketogenic level.
Here's the description of this part of her program (taken from a blog reviewing her book)
Quote:
Level 3 – The Wahls Paleo Plus Diet: This is the diet Terry personally follows. It’s a ketogenic diet (high fat, low-carb and moderate protein), but unlike conventional ketogenic diets, it is specifically designed to include 6 cups of vegetables daily for nutrient density, while still maintaining ketosis through the chemistry of eating 5 tablespoons of coconut oil per day. It’s also stricter than the prior Wahls levels. It requires 100% compliance, eliminating all grains, legumes, soy and white potatoes, and limiting starchy vegetables to two servings per week and fruit to 1 cup of berries daily. Protein is reduced according to size and gender, with the emphasis of shifting the body to burning fat for energy. It also adds an element of intermittent fasting.
