Synopsis: Today, the ketogenic diet is the world's fastest growing
diet, and with good reason. When practiced correctly, it has been proven to
burn fat, reduce inflammation, fight cancer, balance hormones and gut bacteria,
improve neurological diseases, and even increase lifespan. Unfortunately, many
people remain unaware of several key factors that are crucial to the diet's
success, setting them up for frustration, failure, and relapse.
In Keto Diet, bestselling author Dr. Josh Axe sets the
record straight, offering thorough, step-by-step guidance to achieving lifelong
health. Unlike other books on the subject, Keto Diet identifies and details
five different ketogenic protocols and explains why picking the right one for
your body and lifestyle is fundamental to your success.
Inside, you'll find all the tools they need to say goodbye
to stubborn fat and chronic disease once and for all, including:
-shopping lists
-delicious recipes
-exercise routines
-accessible explanations of the science behind keto's
powerful effects
-five different keto plans and a guide to choosing the one
that fits you best!

Review: While a basic explanation of the basics of keto, this book is too shallow and too narrow to be of any real use.
Dr. Axe does not support his nutritional or health
assertions well. While he uses science-sounding words, he doesn’t give a list
of the studies he quotes or the sources for his assertions – other than his own
anecdotal evidence. He may know a lot about herbs and supplements, but when you
are talking about the chemical processes in the body, it proves to have solid
evidence backed by rigorous scientist studies. The Good Results the Random Lady
in your Clinic do not count.
As for the rest, there is nothing here that isn’t also available
in a from a good keto website. The recipes are standard version of keto
recipes, the health and how-to information not anything different from the 100
keto gurus and websites out there.
In the end, this is a simple and easy explanation of the
Keto diet, but all the information can be found for free on the internet and/or
there is some question about the scientific validated of his assertions. You’d
be much better buying Why We Get Fat or Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes,
if you are looking for information not available for free, about the low-carb,
high-fat diets.
