This is part three in a four-part series on the ketogenic diet. As we explored the ketogenic diet we had a re-awakened interest in fasting.

In this second of a four part series on the ketogenic diet, I want to start by sharing links to articles where Dr. Mercola explains the benefits of the Ketogenic diet. 

This is what Patricia Cain had to say after taking the “30 Day Challenge” which is part of the HEA102 Take Charge of Your Health course offered at Christian Leadership University.

Research done at the University of Scranton suggests that just 8% of people achieve their New Year's goals. I choose to do something much more effective than a New Year's Resolution.

Patti and I recently tried the ketogenic diet because our staff was on it and losing weight, and having pains in their body disappear. Once we got on it food cravings disappeared which, to me is the biggest benefit of this diet. Also, by doing all the steps listed below, we have been able to lose 1 pound per week for the last 14 weeks (lots of careful eating and fasting to accomplish this). This diet causes a release of ketones in your body. Fasting also causes a release of ketones. Thus the ketogenic diet releases health benefits similar to fasting, and is even called a fasting-mimicking diet. 

Read LUKE 1:1-4 (NEW KING JAMES)

“Come closer to Me.  I see you standing outside, not sure whether to come in. Your focus is on a thousand things at once ‘what must I do first?’ ‘Where should I go first?’ ‘What about this?’ ‘What about that?’ There is free time to visit Me, right now. I am here with you, to spend time with you.”

“Come, child, sit and read with Me, and hear.  Let Me put some background instrumental Christmas music softly in the background, as we meditate on Mary’s song.”

Read MATTHEW 2:23
 

“Come to the door; and knock on the door.  Look around you in the vision; it is snowing outside.  It is beautiful isn’t it?  Be at rest; and come inside.  The fireplace is warm; and is ready to go.  How I have enjoyed spending all this time with you at My Christmas house.”

“I want to give you a big hug right now; and hold you tightly in My love. For I know the thoughts and plans for your future, to give you hope and to give you joy.”
