Unlocking the Keto Code [NEW]

Examine the real evidence about the ketogenic diet—a style of eating that heavily restricts carbohydrate intake to make the body burn fat for fuel. Ketosis is promoted to offer a variety of health benefits--weight loss, reduced risk of illness, and enhanced energy. Discover the biological mechanism that makes keto diets so successful: a cellular process known as “mitochondrial uncoupling.” As it turns out, ketones are not the magical fuel source they’ve been made out to be; in fact, the body cannot run on ketones and fats alone. Over the long term, a very low carb-diet can lead to muscle wasting and poor cognitive health.

Luckily, you don’t have to restrict all carbs to reap the benefits of ketosis; you simply have to have enough ketones and other plant compounds—polyphenols--present in your body to “unlock” the process of mitochondrial uncoupling. In this insightful, empowering, eminently practical book. Help your clients ignite the process, from feasting on plant-based foods (carbs that are typically off-limits on a keto diet) to enjoying ketone generating foods such as goat and sheep milk products, to implementing a timed eating schedule.

Grounded in cutting-edge science, this is the book for all the people who have tried and failed on a keto diet; for vegetarians and vegans who want to go keto; and for anyone who wants to lose weight and enjoy better health while eating a wide variety of foods. Implement food lists, hacks, and all-new recipes and help your clients going keto easy and enjoyable for the first time.
