About this listen

Conventional weight-loss advice is failing millions of people. In this ground-breaking audiobook, the best-selling author of The Case Against Sugar exposes the bad science behind it and explains how a low-carb, high-fat diet could hold the key to losing weight - for good.

Eat less, lose more: a mantra few of us would disagree with and one we’ve heard countless times in official health advice. And yet doctors treating diabetes and obesity are experiencing extraordinary results among patients by taking a different approach - not by counting calories, but by eating a low-carb, high-fat diet.

Setting out the case for this ‘ketogenic’ approach to eating, Gary Taubes analyses the bad science behind the nutritional dogma that has brought us to a diabetes and obesity crisis. He shows how the fat shaming so prevalent in our society is a result of scientists mistakenly believing that we get fat because we consume more energy than we expend; that those who fatten easily have no willpower. In reality, he argues, we fatten due to our hormonal makeup and lowering insulin levels is the only way to lose weight without crippling hunger.

Full of eureka moments, this explosive audiobook offers hope for anyone wishing to prevent or reverse diabetes or obesity and makes the merits of a ketogenic lifestyle impossible to ignore.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I have a background in nutrition, specialising in LCHF/keto and fasting, so keto is not new to me. What Gary does though is explain the subject matter in such a way that it will make sense to anyone, regardless of background.
I have taken numerous pointers to use with my clients. Thank you Gary!

Basically blows the lid off the previously mainstream Keto-hesitancy and is very honest about what we know, what we don't know and what we can safely discount from being known even when it is widely believed and advised by authorities.

Some comments here talk about the absence of the pdf mentioned. This is clearly something Audible should correct - I bought the paper version anyway and there is little more there but I don't regret buying that as I can peruse the technical bits more regularly until the detail sinks in. Still if Gary Taubes went to the trouble of making a pdf for audio listeners it makes no sense that we have not received one.

No recipes here, only principles on how to eat.l

Not much about keto adaptation per se, as a concept. Another edition should maybe address that.

Essential reading.

very informative with lots of citations to studies, without overloading you with science. I like hearing the arguments against keto then hearing and understanding why those arguments are wrong.

Definitely listen if you're interested in Keto
