               This index was developed by researchers to track the ratio between

                                               blood glucose and ketones.  The GKI is used to
                 WHEN IT COMES TO DIET:
                                               measure how tumors respond to fasting and

                                               the ketogenic diet.  Researchers have found
                 CAN MAKE A SIGNIFICANT
                 IMPACT AGAINST CANCER.        that “A ratio of 1 to 1 is most effective for
                                               shrinking tumors.”  This is an extreme
               ketogenic process, which is necessary for 12 weeks to make a

               significant impact against tumor cells.


               To calculate GKI, divide the blood glucose level by 18, then divide that

               number by the blood ketone level.  For example, if a person’s blood
               glucose is 64 and their ketone level is 3.1, the GKI would be 1.15 (GKI:

               64÷18 = 3.5÷3.1 = 1.1 ratio) and since this person has a 1 to 1 ratio, he

               is making a significant impact on tumor suppression through diet.
               However, let’s say your blood glucose level was high at 140 and your

               GKI was still at 3.1, this would equal a GKI of 3.2 (GKI: 180÷18 = 10÷3.1

               = 3.2 ratio). You would be slightly in ketosis, but the ratio is off from
               the target and you would not be impacting cancer to a significant

               degree.  A keto measuring device called Keto Mojo is one I have found

               to be most effective. (keto-mojo.com)


               Nutritional ketosis is a state in which the body utilizes ketones
               produced by your liver as fatty acids rather than glucose for fuel.

               Ketones produce significantly more energy than glucose with less

               metabolic waste.


               In nutritional ketosis, you become metabolically flexible and your body
               will function at a more efficient level.  The ketogenic cancer diet

               consists of a high amount of healthy fats, very low carbohydrates and
