Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The title is misleading since this is an anti-keto book. The author makes incorrect claims, such as the keto diet does not help with weight loss and it does not help with type 2 diabetes. There are so many examples of people being helped with the keto diet to ignore. I have personally benefited from the diet. The author does not provide any evidence for his incorrect assertions. He claims that ketones are a poor source of energy and are primarily signaling molecules, which is another reason to avoid the keto diet. The author repeatedly argues “keto experts say X, but the reality is Y.” These are straw-man arguments as I have never heard any keto experts say what the author claims the “experts” say. The author does not name the “experts” he is referring to. After bashing the keto diet, the author recommends the diet he has recommended in his prior books, with intermittent fasting added. I have read all of Dr. Gundry’s books, and this is the worst one. I listened to the audiobook, which is a good format for this material. The supplemental PDF is on the Harper Collins Web site. He reads the URL at the beginning. The PDF is just recipes and a list of food, so it is pointless. I was hoping the PDF would have scientific paper citations for the absurd claims he makes, but it does not. A better book to understand the low-carb diet is The Obesity Code by Jason Fung.
