Ketofast

Rejuvenate Your Health with a Step-by-Step Guide to Timing Your Ketogenic Meals

De: Joseph Mercola

Narrado por: Christopher Ragland

From Dr. Joseph Mercola, one of the world's foremost authorities on alternative health: a guide to using the principles of ketogenic eating and meal planning and timing to treat disease, promote weight loss, and optimize health. Fasting is one of the most powerful metabolic interventions there is--one of the single best things you can do for your health. Strategically timed and planned fasts dovetail perfectly with a ketogenic diet, as they activate your body's fat-burning mode. This in turn can ward off insulin resistance, reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, optimize brain function, prevent neurological problems, support weight loss, and more. In this in-depth yet accessible guide, Dr. Joseph Mercola explores the profound health benefits that result when ketogenic living and well-planned fasting are combined. Part I of the audio explains why this works, drawing on up-to-the-minute science as well as Dr. Mercola's decades of research and clinical experience. Part II shows how to put keto-fasting to work for your own health, with a specific protocol and practical guidelines to follow. Topics include: * How our food is making us sick and what we can do about it * The physiology and mechanisms of fasting, including stem cell activation * How the cyclical ketogenic diet--with carefully timed meals--differs from the conventional keto diet * How fasting can help treat diseases from diabetes to fatty liver to Alzheimer's * ?And much more.

Muita informação excelente

Muito boas informações, o autor é bem claro e didático ; mas muito técnico para os leigos

Excellent book, particularly for more advanced readers

Excellent review of the WHY. Excellent coverage of the HOW, even though no recipes are provided. It’s fairly easy to deduce your own dietary approach if you are informed enough. Mercola’s Fat for Fuel is a useful prerequisite. Expect to listen and take notes, perhaps more than once, and also consider getting a companion hard copy or a kindle edition for later reference and markup. One nitpick, Meecola mentions, but does not heed his own mention of the lectin aspect and proceeds to recommend foods that are lectin rich. If you don’t have a lectin/safe strategy yet, consider reading The Plant Paradox, by Dr Gundry.

Great Book, Audio has no PDF accompaniment

The audio version is convenient, but since the book is packed with info that you will need to implement the suggestions provided, buy the kindle or hardbound book.

BUY THE HARDCOPY - not the Audio

The value of this book is in the "How To," not the "Why."

They WHY is great for audio, although if you're already keto-savvy, you won't learn too much that's new. But WHY is the type of information one can absorb while driving or fixing supper. You can also get it on recent podcasts in which Dr. Mercola discusses about the book.
Audio is dismal for the HOW. The Good Doctor (and I mean that) (a) refers you to another book of recipes for exactly WHAT to eat, then (b) goes into L-O-N-G lists of various supplements to take and tests to monitor progress. SERIOUSLY? On Audio, without a companion PDF? It's bloody time consuming to start/stop the book to get everything written down, so I'm buying the hard copy.
Dr. Mercola is not alone here. For the same reason, I also bought the hard copy of Dr. Dale Bredesen's excellent Alzheimer's book after first trying audio. Some authors thoughtfully include a PDF of this type of information for their Audible listeners, but Dr. Mercola is not particularly generous. I mean, really, not even ONE "sample meal" for his keto fast? He does provide the number of grams of protein, carbs, and fat, so I suppose a sample isn't critical.
All in all, I recommend the book, but not the format.

pdf?

why no supplement pdf great content but would be better with access to key information in pdf form
