Publisher's summary

Are you eating enough fat? Yes, fat. Despite what generations of health science has beaten into us over the last 50 years or so, humans thrive on high-fat, low-carb diets. Millions of people around the world have discovered that a ketogenic lifestyle is the key to weight loss, disease prevention and intervention, and a more vibrant life, along with a slimmer waistline, elimination of cravings, and endless energy.

Gone are the days when counting calories or points was seen as the path to better health. Craig and Maria Emmerich have teamed up to create an audiobook that digs deep into the science of ketogenic dieting, explaining how it can cure or control dozens of diseases and how it is fueling a new breed of athlete. All this is done in an easy-to-understand way that makes the complicated science much more approachable.

Keto is the definitive guide to the ketogenic lifestyle. You will learn how you can beat cancer, obesity, metabolic syndrome, coronary artery disease, high cholesterol, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, ADHD, anxiety, and depression into submission by making some simple yet impactful changes to your diet.

You'll learn:

• How cholesterol and diabetes medications could very well be making you sicker rather than healthier.
• How generations of bad advice and advice designed to sell sugar, not health, has killed millions of people who blindly trusted the medical establishment and, worse still, the government to tell them the truth.
• How reductions in fat consumption have led to a tripling of diabetes patients, sharp increases in the number of cancer patients, increases in ADHD, and a meteoric rise in heart disease rates. If we are to assume that eliminating fat from our diets is the key to good health, why then are more and more people who’ve followed this advice dying from food-related diseases?
• How inflammation is at the root of many diseases, and how modern diets that are rife with sugar, carbs, and omega-6 oils are sending us to early graves.
• How hormones control mood swings, sex drive, blood sugar levels, muscle tone, fat-burning ability, metabolism, the immune system, and much more - and how adopting a ketogenic lifestyle will change your waistline and your life!
• How you can build muscle and perform your best on a low-carb, high-fat diet. No, we're not making that up!

Extremely informative!

Holy cow! So much wonderful information! Thank you Craig and Maria for taking the time to turn this into an audiobook. I have your paperback as well but was finding it difficult to find the time to sit down to read it.
I have been Keto for 3 years for cancer therapy. I find there are many different versions of Keto. I prefer the Healthy Keto, aka “The Emmerich Way”!

great information

Very good and helpful information! I have the paper book as well. I hate to say this, but it probably would have been better had Maria read the book instead of Craig he is a little tough to listen to, but I made it all the way through!

take what you need, discard what you don't need

it was a lot of things that kept being repeated which was annoying at first but I found it helped me to remember different terms so I ended up liking that. Some things I didn't agree with but for the most part a lot of information was great & useful.

There’s power in keto truth!

I purchased the physical book as well as the audio since I knew i wouldn’t be able to read it as quickly as I could listen to if. First, I am a functional nutrition coach and I do coach ketogenic diets along with other protocols. This book gets it right whereas many others don’t. The science is real and the information is up to date.
Second, since I was able to speed up the narration, I didn’t notice any particular issues with Craig’s narrating. Maybe they’re there but at a 1.5 speed, it wasn’t noticeable.
Third, I really loved when Maria chimed in with her stories. Many times audio books can start to get monotone with one narrator so this broke things up and kept my interest.
I’ll most likely go through my physical copy of this book to make notations in many of the sections to use with clients.

120, that’s how many pounds I’ve lost due to the Ketogenic diet.

I have read all of Maria and Craig Emmerich’s books, and most of the books available by other popular authors. I bought both: the paperback version and audible( it is worth every penny, Craig did an amazing job)The following reasons are why I consider “Keto” to be their best work, and my personal favorite:

1) This book explains the science behind the diet in a readily understandable fashion and provides the tools necessary to follow the diet for weight loss and incorporate it into your lifestyle for long term success.

2) They explain in detail why the traditional food pyramid is unhealthy and inferior to the ketogenic food pyramid.

3) It explains the importance of hormones, the impact the foods that we eat have on them, and why the obesity epidemic has gripped the Western diet due to it.

4) This book gives the reader a quick and ready plan to get into ketosis and stay on the plan long term. It provides a path to weight loss and contains an essential section on how to modify the diet to help with the treatment of various illnesses that are often comorbid with obesity.

5) They clarify the common myths associated with the ketogenic diet, false perceived dangers, and bad habits that are spread on the internet that stall weight loss.

6) This book explains in detail multiple options for how to overcome stalled weight loss, and also explains intermittent fasting and its various benefits.

7) They give excellent advice on how to continue an exercise regimen and burn fat more effectively than someone working out on a traditional carbohydrate rich diet.

8) I believe that the best part of this book is how it explains which specific food sources, especially fats, are the most effective for weight loss while eating ketogenic. Not all fats are created equal, and this is a detail that is often overlooked by various other authors.

It is my personal belief that this book would be an excellent investment for both the beginner interested in the ketogenic diet, and for those who are already fat adapted.

Great Resource

I reference and have referred others to this book many times. It has some really great information that I have found to be invaluable in my own health journey.

Pay someone to read

Although book has good content it is lost in the reading. Pay someone to read.

Great explanation of benefits

A comprehensive, easy to understand guide to Keto. A lot of clinical data to back it up but always easy to understand..

The ONLY Keto book you need to own

I now own six of Maria Emmerich's books. I own her latest book "KETO" in both the physical and audible forms. I think Craig Emmerich did a fantastic job narrating.
Both Craig and Maria have an infectious passion for teaching Keto as a life style of eating that's not just for losing weight. I lost 16lbs on my first round of the 30 day cleanse last year and I'm looking forward to a second round incorporating her latest Dairy Free Keto book to shake things up a bit. I absolutely trust Maria's knowledge regarding a safe, easy to follow ketogentic way of eating resulting in a life style of eating that rewards you with more than instant gratification; I haven't felt this good since I was.... well never really!

The authority on Keto!

I love Craig & Maria. If you want a great place to start, this is it.
