Veeramachaneni Ramakrishna and his intimate friend together started this diet plan in May 2017. His intent was to fabricate a Lifestyle Modification without using medicines.
He followed the diet plan in order to reduce weight and his friend followed to have a permanent cure from diabetes. In the beginning, he himself didn’t believe that how could the protein and fat ideally will help him to shed weight? But to his luck, Veeramachaneni was reduced to 30 Kgs in a span of 2 months and it took the same time for his friend to get recovered from diabetes. Good to hear!
Apparently, Veeramachaneni Ramakrishna diet plan is a typical desi kind of Keto diet. He claims that his diet plan would make you shed weight and reverse the Type 2 diabetes.

Whatsoever he refused to obey all the negativity and stepped up his game.

What’s Veeramachaneni Ramakrishna Diet plan all about?
Veeramachaneni strongly believes that the reasons behind your body gaining fat, a protruding belly and all other health ailments are just because of using refined oils and foods like refined Oil, White rice, White flour, White sugar, and Whitebread. So basically, the whites are not always for peace. Besides, pigging out all the food is also considered as the biggest culprit for your body.
He instead suggests going back in the day and munch on the foods what our grandparents used to eat. He says that ” I won’t take medicines for any health problem and instead rely upon my Grandmother’s tips. If I’m affected with diarrhoea, I’ll eat Yoghurt with Fenugreek seeds. And who are you to say don’t follow the natural ancient remedies?”
The most popular saying of Mr Veeramachaneni is “If you take one tablet for curing diabetes, it’s similar to burying yourself in the graveyard.
Veeramachaneni Ramakrishna Diet Plan is based on four essential pillars, which are,
- 70-100 grams of fat
- 3 Lemons
- 4 Litres of Water
- One Vitamin tablet each day
Veeramachaneni Ramakrishna was well-known as “Aahara Mantriku” which means a Diet Magician. He says all the traditional fats have been demonized and mistrusted that they can cause bad cholesterol by increasing LDL levels, decreasing HDL levels and increasing the triglycerides. So, according to Veeramachaneni Ramakrishna switching to healthy fats like Coconut oil, Olive oil, Ghee and etc is a good option since the refined oils are unhealthy and a rip-off.
He preaches to eat any dishes or savouries with overloaded ghee, coconut oil, butter, olive oil or cheese. His early morning diet includes Boiled Eggs, Fried Eggs, Omelette, Walnuts, Chicken with overloaded Ghee or Coconut oil.
He doesn’t suggest to have Carbs or excess proteins as they digest quickly in the stomach and makes you feel hungry very soon. Whereas fat will keep you fuller for a long time. Therefore, you can have the next meal when you feel hungry i.e after some couple of hours. Again in the evening, he eats Chicken, Veg Curries, Soups, Coconut oil, Buttermilk which are high in fat content.
Most importantly, you need to follow this diet plan strictly for a very short period which is about 15-20 days or 2-3 months. For diabetes persons, they should follow for 3 months. Later, you can eat all kinds of food but you just need to limit the food content. This is one of the advantages of this plan which is a short period diet plan. Whatsoever, Veermacheneni Ramakrishna stated that his diet plan will set your lifestyle.
When you’re on the diet, you’re not allowed to take carbs, sugar, alcohol, cigarettes on daily basis. You should follow the set of rules/guidelines strictly. Furthermore, you should also not follow irregular sleep timings, cheat meals and junk food. Follow this diet plan strictly for 3 months then do a semi-diet from the following month. If you eat a heavy meal after 3 months, the very next day eat less food. This is what Veeramachaneni preaches to do in his diet plan.
Your sugar levels will not go down completely if you pigout sweets and then again follow this diet plan unless you’re taking a tablet.
He adds the most important point in his conversation, “This diet plan cleanses your system. The kidney problems will get vanquished because the sole reasons for kidney problems are diabetes and blood pressure.” As this diet plan reverses diabetes and blood pressure, thereupon your kidney will also get cleaned.
VRK stated in one of his interviews that many Tollywood celebrities are also following his diet plan.

Is it safe to follow this Diet Plan? – Q/A with VRK
Q1. Few people protest that there were no Science experiments done to prove that this diet plan is good?
VRK say in response that, though he’s not from a medical background he believes that science is not everyone’s subject. Like how a software engineer cannot discover rockets, doctor’s ideally can’t solve all the problems. If such is the case, why there are still many patients suffering from diabetes, blood pressure and many more. He claims that “I only insist people to not use medicines and instead follow the old traditional remedies for curing the health issues. Furthermore, it’s been a year but there were no complaints about my diet plan”. So, I think he’s very bold, confident and pertinent to his views though some people are telling him to get real.
Q2. Will they be any eating disorders since this diet plan has no particular timings?
Despite a few professionals say to VRK, “you’re pushing your luck”. He says “I’m not against doctors, many doctors support me and P.V Satyanarayana a well-known cardio specialist who has done 16,000 surgeries is following the similar diet plan from 2 years. Particularly, this diet plan was the idea of another popular neurologist, Mr Jason”. In that conversation, he also mentions that they’re so many positive reviews about the diet plan in his book.
Q3. Do consumption of excess oils give gastritis problem and blood vomitings?
Veeramachaneni Ramakrishna counters this question and says, most of the people are using refined chemical oils from ages which create a wreak havoc on health in the long run. So, when compared to such chemically processed refined oils, using 70-100g of natural oils is not a problem. Except for the people who have ulcers in the stomach, the gas problems will vanquish if you follow this diet plan says, Mr Veeramachaneni Ramakrishna.
Q4. What if you continued this diet plan for more than 3 months or a year?
It’s nothing a problem unless you’re taking medicines or eating carbs and junk foods in excess. In that case, you’ll be diagnosed with some diseases but with natural remedies, you’ll never fall sick says Veeramachaneni Ramakrishna. He also states that he had much evidence to show in case if you’re dubious or sceptical about his diet plan.
Q5. What if the heart patients follow this fat diet? Will the cholesterol levels increase?
Veeramachaneni Ramakrishna proudly says this diet plan is a boon to heart patients.
I’m wondering how?
But he been so feisty about his diet plan, say that science never told not to eat fatty foods. It’s the manufacturers of the medicines who instil not to eat fat and take refined oils. In that process, they create a wreck havoc to the society.
He also quotes an example of a person named Srinivas who has 110 (or something) cholesterol levels. He initially feared when he got to know about this diet plan. Under such circumstances, VRK told him to quit medicines and follow his diet plan. This man Srinivas, after a couple of days, has noticed a considerable change in his cholesterol levels. His blood pressure, IBS, diabetes all got decreased but the triglycerides did not decrease. VRK told him, you’ve gone wrong somewhere. Srinivas said, yes I took a cholesterol tablet.
Later, with a complete trust given by a leading cardiologist to Mr Srinivas, he again followed the diet without using tablets. To his surprise, his cholesterol levels got decreased to 200. So, with this VRK concludes that these days doctors are also preaching eating fat with cholesterol is not a problem.
Q6. Is this diet plan a permanent solution to cure health problems without using tablets?
Veeramachaneni Ramakrishna once again gives a bold answer that carbs will affect the human body to a hundredfold. If you’re stopping the intake of carbs, junk foods, alcohol, and medication you will notice nails growing when you’re in the early 70’s. That means, your body will flush out all the toxins and produce new cells every time to rejuvenate your body.
