Provocative and thought provoking. Certainly makes a compelling case for the standard advice being wrong. But hard to know whether to trust him or not when it goes so far against establishment thinking.

If you read the author’s other book Why We Get Fat, then this will seem very familiar. The information is similar but he definitely expands on the science behind keto. In addition, he lays the groundwork for following a keto protocol with ease.I wouldn’t call this an easy read. You will want to be able to focus on studies and scientific facts presented, but if that is something of interest to you, you will greatly enjoy this book.

I really liked the message of this book. It simultaneously informed me of the keto diet while also not pushing me to lose weight, like other health books typically do.

I highly recommend this if you’re looking for information about a new diet.
