High Octane Fuel for your Body: I lost 40 pounds, something I thought would be impossible.
In The Keto Reset Diet Mark Sisson and Brad Kearns draw a poignant parallel between the human body and a high performance car. Fueling our bodies with a diet high in carbohydrates as opposed to a diet high in fat does the same to our bodies as fueling a race car with low octane gasoline does to the car's motor. Because we are not adapted to the inferior fuel, our performance will eventually decline and our body or the car's motor will suffer substantial damage.
The Keto Reset Diet explains the science behind the Keto diet in detail and shows how we can reverse the damage, lose weight, prevent diabetes and cancer, improve cognitive performance and athletic endurance. The 21-day diet plan eases the reader into the optimal form of fueling the body and 100 recipes at the end of the book provide the reader with a lot of ideas on how to continue the diet after the initial phase. I like that the book also addresses lifestyle in general.
For me Keto works. Since June, I have lost 30 pounds in 4 months, all without starving myself. I attribute my success to Mark Sisson, whose website I found a couple of years ago. Although it took me a while until I followed his advice, Mark Sisson was the first person who showed me the way in the right direction. Equipped with this book I can keep the momentum going and work on exercising better, getting enough sleep and reducing my stress levels.
Update.: I originally wrote this book review on October 3, 2017 when I had already lost 30 pounds over a period of four months. Now ist is February 17, 2018. Since October I have lost another 10 pounds just by continuing with the Keto diet. I cannot say how much better I feel in my body right now. I am back to the weight that I had when I was 20. Besides the health benefits this gave me a great boost of confidence.
