About this listen

In their quest to lose weight and live healthily, dieters continue to embrace low-carb plans like Keto, Paleo, and the Mediterranean Diet. And, with this new update and revision, Jonny Bowden's best-selling Living Low Carb more perfectly reflects today's choices, including new sections on Keto, Paleo, low-carb Mediterranean, and Carnivore and Vegetarian Keto, in addition to Atkins and the Zone. It explores the most recent scientific discoveries on the microbiome, brain chemistry, appetite, cravings, carbs, and sugar addiction, and features new tips and tricks from professionals - providing more guidance for dieters trying to figure out what plan is right for them. With refreshing candor, Bowden evaluates the popular low-carb programs in light of the latest scientific research and shows you how to customize your own plan for long-term weight loss and optimal well-being.

I’ve read several low-carb books having taken up a keto diet initially for weight loss only to realise I feel so much better in general cutting down heavily on carbs - which are basically sugar. Low carb diets train your body to use fat as energy, which evens out the insulin spikes that keep you hungry and storing excess sugar as fat.

This book hits the sweet spot between the scientific and the super-accessible. Although there’s a degree of repetition, there’s plenty to chew on here. Starting with a broad overview of the many benefits of eating fewer carbs, and debunking many health and nutrition myths, the author looks at all aspects of the issues around nutrition, energy, mood etc that are affected by changing your diet. He then covers dozens of variations of low-carb diets including Atkins, keto, paleo and options for vegans, athletes etc

The author has his own diet to promote but just lists it among the others and he us very generous with listing other resources on the topic.
