Thank you to NetGalley and Gary Tubes for providing a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have read quite a few Keto books now but this might be the most intriguing one I've read due to it not being written by a dietician, personal trainer, etc. This book has been written by a journalist who has gone after this topic with a critical eye, seeking evidence in support and against the low carb/keto diet. It's been great to get insight into all of the different conversations ongoing around the subject, skeptical or otherwise. Recommended reading for those interested in learning more about the subject.

An interesting read if your thinking about trying a Keto diet. It is very in depth and informative.

I’d recommend The Case for Keto to those who want a booked packed full of information, science and facts about keto. The author describes The Case for Keto as ‘a work of journalism masquerading as a self-help book’. You won’t find any recipes or meal plans in this book because the author states that he isn’t an expert in those areas. I found there to be a lot of interesting and useful information but the was way too much writing on the pages with little space between what I would guess are paragraphs. After a while it started to seem like it all just started to blend in together.

I recieved an advanced copy for free, and this is my honest opinion.

The Case for Keto explains the health effects of diet in much detail and with many examples. The diet in hand is the ketogenic diet. It is a low carbohydrate high-fat diet, and it works like magic. I should know better because I have lost 66 pounds with it and I’ve never felt better.

If you want to take control of your health, you must read as much as you can about the topic. Also, it would be best if you tried eating differently. Carbs are everywhere, and many of the people are telling us to eat carbs. But what if we stop eating it and see the results? That is what I did, and that was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. And I have to thank the many doctors and amazing journalists like Gary Taubes. Without them, it would be easy to be afraid of anything.
