"The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living"
by Jeff S. Volek, PhD, RD and Stephen D. Phinney, MD, PhD
With this book, you will learn why:
• Carbohydrate restriction is the proverbial ‘silver bullet’ for managing insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and type-2 diabetes.
• A well-formulated low carbohydrate diet improves blood glucose and lipids while reducing inflammation, all without drugs.
• Carbohydrate restriction induces the process of keto-adaptation, refining the body’s metabolism to allow the mobilization and clearance of excess body fat.
• Dietary saturated fat is not a demon when you are keto-adapted.
• Dietary sugars and starches are not necessary to your brain or fuel exercise.
• Long-term success involves much more than simply cutting out dietary carbs.
• There is an ‘art’ to electrolyte and mineral management that is key to avoiding side effects and ensuring success.
• Trading up from sugars and starches to a cornucopia of nutrient-rich, satisfying, and healthy natural foods is empowering.
Preview The Book
In The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living, we share our collective accumulated knowledge on the powerful yet contentious topic of low carbohydrate nutrition. While this topic has been hotly debated among scientists and policy-makers since the early 1970s, new research over the last 10 years offers an exciting new perspective. Thus we all stand to benefit by taking a more serious look at the issue.
