SO dear frens, despite some early encouraging signs, the Keto diet with fenben and dozens of other supplements and treatments, did not affect my cancer even a little bit according to the scans! Just be aware! The keto diet starved ME but not this aerobic cancer which could metabolize like healthy cells! I lost weight and muscle. I appreciate all the advice given here and tried with all my energy for 5 months of treatment. Every cancer is different, every human body is different. The good news apparently is, it is the slow-growing ones which are still aerobic, so may it be indolent!! ANYWAY I have to live my life and Trust in the Lord.

But, what do you ACTUALLY mean by that statement?
Did you eat ZERO food for a period of time, or ... did you simply CUT BACK on the amount of food?
Those two choices give VERY DIFFERENT results.
She posted more details about a month ago: https://greatawakening.win/p/19BZuNIIJm/warning-there-are-cures-but-bewa/c/
Reading through that thread, there is a serious disconnect between the problem of feeding cancer cells and her dietary choices.
I get the impression that as a bodybuilder, she was very lean and most likely averse to high dietary fat. Almost all bodybuilders are.
THAT is the #1 problem for her.
Her keto diet was (a) too low in total calories, (b) too high in carbs, (c) too high in protein, and (d) way too low in saturated fat.
Forget keto. Go full carnivore.
The carbs feed cancer cells. Even "just a little carbs" can do that. Cutting back is not the answer. Cutting OUT is.
Carbs might "provide energy," but they are NOT needed. Cutting them out will force the body to become fat adapted, and then the carbs will not be missed.
But the typical bodybuilder's mindset says they MUST have carbs.
Bodybuilders at the competitive level generally inject a lot of drugs, and those drugs DEMAND HIGH CARBS or the person could die.
Injecting insulin, for example, demands high carbs. In addition, carbs force glycogen and water into the muscle cells, making them appear larger. These are reasons why bodybuilders buy into the idea of "needing" carbs.
As a female bodybuilder, she likely injected a lot of exogenous testosterone, which puts things out of whack, as well.
So, there are many confounding variables that might apply to her situation that would not apply to most people.
Likewise, "high protein" means high glutamine, and probably several meals a day, which feeds a steady supply to the cancer cells. Most bodybuilders eat 5-6 meals per day, or more. This provides continual feeding to the cancer cells.
Therefore, a fasting protocol would probably be beneficial. But that is something that most who have the bodybuilder mindset cannot accept.
Her low calorie diet, combined with the fact that she is very lean and doesn't have much body fat to use for energy, means that her metabolic rate MUST DROP to match her low caloric energy intake from her diet. This is especially true if she is eating carbs, because carbs cause an increase in insulin, and high insulin blocks body fat breakdown, leaving muscle to be broken down -- especially if she has developed more than normal muscle size, and is no longer using them, due to reduced workouts.
This may have contributed to lean muscle loss, as well.
She has an unusual set of circumstances that do not apply to most people, and not utilizing a fasting protocol is probably the #1 reason her strategy is not working.
If it were me, I would do back-to-back-to-back 48-72 hour fasts, then have one big meal of meat (and maybe green tea, per the suggestion in this thread), with VERY HIGH FAT -- 80% of calories -- to satisfy and help with energy needs, and absolutely ZERO carbs. I would probably also look into getting glutamine blocker drugs prescribed.
I think this protocol would eventually kill the cancer.
Once the cancer is defeated, I would then return to the gym and build those muscles back up. "Muscle memory" is a real thing, and they will come back very quickly once back in the gym and eating big.
At least, that's what I WILL try if I ever get cancer again.
It was a fast-mimicking keto diet.
