17. Plantation Bay's Keto But Not Kwite Diet

Scientific/Conceptual Foundations of Our Diet

Some establishments torture you with quack diets for a few days; you quickly lose a few pounds then regain it almost immediately. In contrast, the Plantation Bay Keto But Not Kwite Diet incorporates the most recent scientific findings from both human clinical trials and observational studies.

This is not medical advice. For that, consult your doctor. But if you have a doctor who flatly objects to most of the elements of the diet without even letting you try it, you should consider finding another doctor, one who bases advice on constantly-evolving scientific knowledge, not on half-truths and outright falsehoods learned from a magazine or med rep 20 years ago.

Our Diet is designed to:

• Reduce insulin resistance, which is widely implicated in many metabolic disorders.
• Enhance gut health, a vital factor in general health and physical and mental well-being.
• Promote autophagy, a beneficial process by which the body scavenges defective cells, potentially with longevity and disease-avoidance results.
• Target visceral fat and reduce inflammation, both strongly associated with a wide range of diseases and physical disorders.
• Help you feel and look better.

Day 0

Days 1-3

• ✓
  Morning Routine: Begin day by checking ketone breath. Check periodically throughout the day. Drink 250 ml water upon waking and 250 ml more within next 1-2 hours. Drink 2 liters of water daily (tea, coffee, and sugar-free soda count, but soda shouldn't be the mainstay).
• ☕
  Breakfast: Skip breakfast or eat ½ of a meal-replacement bar like Quest or One (max 5-6 net carbs, less is better). Drink plenty of water and brewed green tea or black coffee (not canned, Allulose sweetener only).
• ✕
  No Snacking: At around 1 to 3 pm, consume 10 grams inulin fiber from gummies or powder mixed with any non-caloric drink. Add 6 psyllium capsules and drink with 300-500 ml water. Adjust timing based on bowel movements.
• 🍽
  Lunch (1-2 pm): Any lunch with less than 5-6 Net Carbs (e.g., fried chicken + Shirataki Alternate Rice with Bolognese sauce = 1-2 Net Carbs).
• ⚠
  Cravings: If craving, drink a diet soda or eat candy with max 3g Net Carbs (e.g., 1 Choc Zero Caramel OR 1 ChocoRite Peanut Butter Patty). Immediately go up and down 3 flights of stairs to burn those carbs ASAP.
• 🌙
  Dinner (6-7 pm): Aim for 10g more fiber (e.g., half avocado + 30 almonds). Less than 5-6g Net Carbs. NO rice, bread, or starchy plants (potatoes). Include 2 tbsp Sesame Butter or Tahini (mandatory for nutrients that encourage ketosis).
