Resumen del Editor

From the author of the New York Times bestselling Plant Paradox series comes this revolutionary take on the keto diet that debunks common myths and shows listeners how to reap the rewards of keto with less restriction

Like many doctors and nutrition experts, bestselling author Dr. Steven Gundry has long endorsed the ketogenic diet—a style of eating that heavily restricts carbohydrate intake to make the body burn fat for fuel. Because ketosis offers a variety of health benefits, including weight loss, reduced risk of illness, and enhanced energy, Dr. Gundry believed his patients’ efforts to adhere to the challenging regimen was worthwhile. That is, until his research uncovered a shocking truth: We’ve gotten keto all wrong.

In Unlocking the Keto Code, Dr. Gundry reveals 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 called polyphenols present in your body to “unlock” the process of mitochondrial uncoupling. In this insightful, empowering, eminently practical book. Dr. Gundry explains the many ways listeners can ignite this 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. You will even discover the real reason how superfoods, even apple cider vinegar, work their magic; and its not what they you think!

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. With food lists, hacks, and all-new recipes, Unlocking the Keto Code makes going keto easy and enjoyable for the first time.

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

Excellent Information

I really enjoyed the information in this book. It answered a lot of questions I have on why the Keto diet is not working for me. I’m starting anew.

Mitochondria management nowa new focus for me

Dr. G's understanding of the biochemistry of fats is either incomplete or poorly communicated. Some of his ideas are very controversial, e.g. 100 mg of melatonin for some conditions. But overall this book is a leap forward in healthy eating.

Awesome!

Loved this book. Easy to listen and follow. The accompanying PDF is great as well.

Great but missing PDF

Fascinating and logical vs fad diets, but missing the PDF guide that is supposed to support the text.

Enjoyed

Easy to listen and to read. I enjoy the book very much. Would very much recommend.

An amazing book

It was so easy to follow and understand, Dr Gundry did a excellent job in explaining everything, and I appreciate him citing the studies and researches he did to come to those conclusion. This gives me confidence in what he is stating. I would recommend this book to any and everyone. As it touches on subjects that affect us all, regardless of where we are health wise. Thanks for this book. I think I want a paper copy.

Real talk, LLC.

Glad to have Dr. Gundry on my team. wish I could say that about my HMO! Nothing wrong with being candid "coupled" with being helpful. Me and my younger bro purchase this book, went through it twice(hopes of storing during REM) , bought the hard copies for quick reference and have continuous discussions. This is good stuff. Uncouple your Mitochondria....enjoy the red wine and other Polyphenols! thanks Dr. G.

Excellent Science, Excellent Story

Dr. Gundry has nailed the science behind Keto. This book explains why it works and why calories and ratios are far less important than eating windows and good, healthy foods. I got so much value out of this book I finally feel like I can eat in a way that will work for me.

Most exciting eating plan I've heard in years

After doing keto off and on for several years I am excited to try this. Thank you Dr Gundry

Dr. Gundry is a marvelous teacher!

Mitochondrial uncoupling, I never dreamed I would be listening to a 6 hour lecture on Mitochondrial uncoupling. However Dr. Gundry makes the subject understandable, even fascinating. I am learning how to cook and eat new foods at 70. Goat cheese is my new favorite food, along with Artichoke’s, Radiccio, Asparagus, Brussel Sprouts, and A2 milk products. I just bought a Kitchenaid pro 5 plus mixer just so I can make my own butter from A2 whipping cream. Leeks, onion, mushrooms, I’m trying it all.
Thanks Dr. Gundry
