KetoFast

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

De: Dr. Joseph Mercola

Narrado por: Christopher Ragland

We all know that food is medicine - yet going without food is one of the single best things you can do for your health. Short, doable fasts, when strategically timed, are an incredibly powerful metabolic intervention, dovetailing perfectly with a ketogenic diet to 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. 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 fasting included - differs from the conventional keto diet
• How fasting works and how safe it is for you
• How regular one-day fasts support fat burning and detoxification while minimizing hunger and side effects
• How to monitor your progress with lab tests
• And much more

“This will be an exciting journey for you,” Dr. Mercola writes. “I am beyond excited for you to implement what I consider to be one of the most powerful physical strategies to help you not only recover your health, but also improve it to levels you likely never believed were possible.”

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

Excellent, accurate & up to date information

Excellent, accurate, short & concise, , useful, not commercial & up to date information. Thank you!

lots of information

I will need to go through this book a few times to get most of the nuggets in it

Some good take-aways

Some good info that is easy to implement but some suggestions that are not very practical for working adults.

Cutting Edge Keto concept

I love listening to Dr. Mercola's cutting edge insights into healing our body and maintaining our health.

So much good info!

Some info is basic but there are some crutial details that are hard to find online that will make keto and fasting successful. I have been on keto for 1.5 years and my thyroid keeps getting lower and gaining weight. This book taught me how important feast days are!
