Alternatives says:

Variation of diet not moderation is the key to health and slowing down ageing.

Description:

This evening, Patrick will discuss the benefits of The Hybrid Diet and how your body thrives on two fuels: ketones generated from fat or glucose from carbs. Alternating between the two is the hottest health secret.

There are two effective ways to regain health and lose weight: a high fat, ‘ketogenic’ diet and a slow carb, ‘low GL’ diet. Both outperform the outdated conventional low calorie, low fat diet in all respects – weight loss, health gain and hunger control.

The worst of both worlds is the combination of animal fat and refined carbs – the hallmark of junk food. Yet, something magical happens when you switch between a Slow Carb and a High Fat diet, mimicking the natural cycle of feast and famine.

You will learn why eating Hybrid is the best way to:

Get the benefits of fasting without going hungry
Prevent and reverse diabetes
Lose weight without going hungry
Stay cancer-free and suppress cancer cell growth
Repair and rejuvenate your body, slowing ageing
Stabilise dementia, epilepsy and other neurological disorders
Prevent and reverse heart disease
