The Case for Keto

The Truth About Low-Carb, High-Fat Eating

De: Gary Taubes

Narrado por: Holter Graham

Conventional weight-loss advice is failing millions of people. In this ground-breaking audiobook, the best-selling author of The Case Against Sugar exposes the bad science behind it and explains how a low-carb, high-fat diet could hold the key to losing weight - for good.

Eat less, lose more: a mantra few of us would disagree with and one we’ve heard countless times in official health advice. And yet doctors treating diabetes and obesity are experiencing extraordinary results among patients by taking a different approach - not by counting calories, but by eating a low-carb, high-fat diet.

Setting out the case for this ‘ketogenic’ approach to eating, Gary Taubes analyses the bad science behind the nutritional dogma that has brought us to a diabetes and obesity crisis. He shows how the fat shaming so prevalent in our society is a result of scientists mistakenly believing that we get fat because we consume more energy than we expend; that those who fatten easily have no willpower. In reality, he argues, we fatten due to our hormonal makeup and lowering insulin levels is the only way to lose weight without crippling hunger.

Full of eureka moments, this explosive audiobook offers hope for anyone wishing to prevent or reverse diabetes or obesity and makes the merits of a ketogenic lifestyle impossible to ignore.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great read

It is very informative and presents various points of view
Sometimes the medical and biological details and descriptions are difficult to understand
I am glad I read it and will do it again, especially, since I am now my 2nd time on keto

Nicely balanced approach to Keto

Taubes lays out both the benefits and the potential challenges with Keto. As a technical book i needed to go back and listen to some chapters more than once to get the full details, but very glad i did.
Highly recommended if you have an interest in health and are willing to make a commitment to yourself.

Everyone please read this!

Thank you SO much Gary Taubes. This book is packed full of information that makes so much sense. No looking back once you know the truth about eating carbs, no matter what their source.
I’m lacto-vegetarian and following GT advice I’m feeling great plus loosing weight too, all without feeling hungry 😋 dream come true!
