Book Preview:

#1 The keto diet is based on the idea that when you drastically reduce your carbohydrate intake and instead consume 80 percent of your daily calories from fat, your body shifts into a unique metabolic state called ketosis. In ketosis, the liver converts fat into ketones, which can be used to power the body and brain instead of glucose.

#2 Some of my patients have even had a hard time maintaining their weight on the keto diet, despite being extremely efficient fat burners. They've metamorphosed into extremely efficient fat burners, and they don't want to gain any weight.

#3 Many people who try to follow a ketogenic diet end up failing because they aren't getting enough of the right fats and other foods to trigger ketosis. This is where the traditional keto diet falls short.

#4 The conventional keto wisdom about metabolic efficiency and fat burning is wrong. The production of ketones actually results in your body becoming more fuel inefficient.
