Most people fail at weight loss not because they lack willpower — but because they are working against their own biology. There is a hormone called leptin. It controls whether your body burns fat or stores it. And for most people who struggle with weight, it has stopped working properly.
The NKFB protocol addresses the root cause. Not the symptom.
Start Here →I grew up watching chronic metabolic disease up close. My father was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes the year I was born. Despite medication and conventional dietary advice, the disease progressed. He died 25 years later — with serious diabetic neuropathy in his final years. That background is why I never trusted the mainstream model at face value. And when I started struggling with my own weight, I went looking for a better answer. I also spent years trying to fix my own weight the conventional way: eat less, move more.
It didn't work. Not because I lacked discipline. Because the model was wrong.
When you reduce calories, a hormone called leptin drops. Your brain interprets this as starvation. Metabolism slows. Hunger increases. The body fights back — and eventually, it wins. This is not a character flaw. It is a survival mechanism that kept humans alive through famines for hundreds of thousands of years.
The solution is not less food. It is the right metabolic conditions for fat burning to work the way it was designed to.
The same ketogenic protocol that restores fat-burning metabolism also protects the brain. These are not two separate programmes — they are two expressions of the same underlying science.
Fix leptin resistance. Break the glucose-insulin cycle. Switch to fat as your primary fuel. Lose the weight and keep it off — without chronic hunger, without yo-yo.
The Method →Ketones are the brain's preferred alternative fuel. The same protocol that burns body fat also feeds neurons that can no longer use glucose efficiently — relevant for Parkinson's, dementia, and Alzheimer's.
Brain Health →Ma name is Richard de Laat. My father was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes the year I was born. He died 25 years later — from cancer, with serious diabetic neuropathy in his final years. I grew up in a household where "no sugar in your coffee" was not a preference, it was a rule. Metabolic disease was never abstract to me. It was personal from the beginning. Then, within a short period, I lost my brother at 64 and my sister at 62 — both to cancer. My sister was a GP. My mother went the same way, at 80. I grew up in a family where cancer was not bad luck — it was a pattern. I went through more than 50 books on diet, metabolic disease, and cancer research trying to understand what the conventional model was missing. That process is what eventually became the Diet Power Secrets guide. I am also a trained NLP Trainer, Hypnosis Trainer, and TimeLine Therapy Trainer — which is why the NKFB method addresses both the metabolic and the psychological dimensions of lasting change.
The Diet Power Secrets guide is the book behind this protocol, available in English and German. The complete NKFB programme covers eight modules: nutrition, 107 recipes with full macros, goal setting, meditation, progress tracking, and more.
A free one-page guide covering the six factors that control fat burning — and exactly what to do about each one.
