Keto Paradox. An Incredible Study on How Keto Nutrition Wastes Our Energy and Weakens the Body, and the Right Way to Unlock the Keto Code

This is a revolutionary look at the keto diet, debunking common myths and showing readers how to reap the benefits of the keto diet with minimal dietary restrictions. Like many doctors and nutrition experts, bestselling author Dr. Steven Gundry has long adhered to a ketogenic diet—a way of eating that severely restricts carbohydrate intake to force the body to burn fat for fuel. However, his recent research has revealed a shocking truth: we misunderstand the keto diet. By uncovering the keto code, Dr. Gundry explains the biological mechanism that makes keto diets so successful: a cellular process known as 'mitochondrial uncoupling.' A small spoiler: ketones are not the magical fuel source they are believed to be; in fact, the body cannot survive solely on ketones and fats. In the long term, a low-carb diet can lead to muscle depletion and cognitive decline. Fortunately, you don’t have to restrict all carbohydrates to benefit from ketosis; you simply need to have enough ketones and other plant compounds called polyphenols in your body to 'unlock' the mitochondrial uncoupling process.
In this insightful, inspiring, and highly practical book, Dr. Gundry provides specific programs for transitioning to a keto diet and systematically reveals the true mechanisms of how the body works at the cellular level.
This book is intended for everyone who has tried to stick to the keto diet and failed; for vegetarians and vegans who want to switch to a keto diet; and for anyone who wishes to lose weight and improve health by eating a wide variety of foods. With lists of products, hacks, and completely new recipes, you will be able to switch to a keto diet easily and with pleasure for the first time.
