This is a revolutionary look at the keto diet, debunking common myths and showing readers how to reap the benefits of the keto diet with minimal dietary restrictions. Like many doctors and nutrition experts, best-selling author Dr. Steven Gundry has long been a ketogenic dieter, an eating style that severely restricts carbohydrates to force the body to burn fat for fuel. But his recent research has revealed a shocking truth: We’ve been misunderstanding the keto diet. In Unlocking the Keto Code, Dr. Gundry explains the biology that makes keto diets so successful: a cellular process known as “mitochondrial uncoupling.” Spoiler alert: Ketones are not the magical fuel source they’re made out to be; in fact, the body can’t survive on ketones and fat alone. In the long term, low-carb diets can actually lead to muscle wasting and cognitive decline. Luckily, you don’t have to restrict all carbohydrates to reap the benefits of ketosis; you just need to have enough ketones and other plant compounds called polyphenols in your body to “unlock” the mitochondrial uncoupling process.
In this insightful, inspiring, and highly practical book, Dr. Gundry provides specific plans for transitioning to a keto diet and step-by-step reveals the true mechanisms of the body’s actions at the cellular level.
This book is for anyone who has tried to follow a keto diet and failed; for vegetarians and vegans who want to go keto; and for anyone who wants to lose weight and improve their health while eating a wide variety of foods. With grocery lists, tips, and brand-new recipes, you’ll find it easy and enjoyable to transition to a keto diet for the first time.
