Getting into ketosis doesn’t happen instantly. When you stop eating sugar and carbohydrates, your body doesn’t switch fuels right away—it has to first use up all the stored glucose in your liver and muscles. This stored sugar is called glycogen, and your body typically burns through it within 2 to 4 days of cutting carbs.
Once the glycogen is gone, your body switches to fat-burning and begins making ketones. That’s when you officially enter ketosis—a state where your body uses ketones instead of sugar for fuel. If you’re fasting completely, your body can enter ketosis even faster—sometimes within just 24 hours. But if you’ve recently eaten carbohydrates—especially bread, pasta, fruit, or sugar—it might take closer to 4 or 5 days to make the switch.
You can speed this process up by:
- Drinking plenty of water
- Avoiding all sugars and starches
- Minimizing protein
- Staying physically active
- Using support supplements like Berberine or EGCG, which help mimic fasting effects
The Keto Diet: What It Really Means
A true ketogenic (keto) diet is designed to keep your body in ketosis all the time. That means your body becomes fat-adapted—always burning fat and making ketones, even between meals.
On a keto diet, 70–80% of your calories come from fat, 10–20% from protein, and only 5% or less from carbs. That means:
- No sugar
- No bread
- No rice or potatoes
- Almost no fruit
- Very limited protein—just enough to support basic function
You also have to avoid foods that can secretly raise your blood sugar or insulin levels—even things like “healthy” grains or starchy vegetables.
Staying under 20 grams of net carbs per day is a typical guideline for deep ketosis. The focus is on clean, high-quality fats and very controlled protein, because even too much protein can get converted into sugar in a process called gluconeogenesis.
My Anti-Cancer Keto OMAD Diet
My protocol uses a ketogenic structure, but it goes much further to fight cancer. I use a One Meal A Day (OMAD) strategy, where I only eat during a short window—usually between 2:30 and 4:30 PM. The rest of the day, I fast, which keeps me in deep ketosis and activates autophagy for most of the 24-hour cycle.
This eating plan does more than just burn fat. It:
- Keeps blood sugar and insulin low
- Starves cancer cells of glucose and amino acids
- Boosts immune function
- Allows for targeted supplement timing around radiation and oxidative therapy
I also keep protein even lower than a standard keto diet. That’s because cancer uses amino acids—especially glutamine and methionine—to grow, repair itself, and create defense shields. By limiting protein, I make sure I’m not feeding those pathways.
My diet also avoids all red meat and iron-rich vegetables, since cancer thrives on iron. Even cookware matters—I avoid cast iron pans to eliminate any extra iron exposure.
What I Eat Instead
The core of my daily meal is made up of healthy fats:
- Olive oil
- Coconut oil
- MCT oil
- Avocado
- Black seed oil
These fats provide clean energy, support cellular repair, and are metabolized well by healthy cells—but not by most cancer cells.
I don’t snack or drink anything with calories outside my one meal. Even small amounts of food or sugar outside that window can kick me out of ketosis and shut down autophagy.
By staying strict and consistent with this plan, I’ve turned my daily rhythm into a cancer-fighting machine:
- I starve the tumor of sugar, protein, and iron
- I keep healthy cells fueled with ketones and protected
- I stay in autophagy long enough to break down weak, damaged, or pre-cancerous cells
- I supercharge my immune system with supplements at the right times, and give treatments like radiation their best chance to work
This is not just a diet—it’s a full metabolic strategy. It’s built to change the terrain inside the body so cancer has no safe place to hide, no food to eat, and no way to defend itself.
