Unlocking the Keto Code
Unlocking the Keto Code by Dr. Steven R. Gundry is a groundbreaking book that redefines the principles of the ketogenic diet. In this latest instalment from the celebrated author of the New York Times bestselling Plant Paradox series, Dr. Gundry challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding keto and presents a revolutionary approach to achieving its benefits with far less restriction.
Many health enthusiasts and professionals, including Dr. Gundry himself, have long advocated the ketogenic diet for its notable health benefits, such as weight loss, reduced illness risk, and increased energy levels. Traditionally, the keto diet involves a severe limitation of carbohydrates to encourage the body to burn fat as its primary fuel source. However, through his extensive research, Dr. Gundry discovered a surprising truth: the traditional understanding of ketosis is fundamentally flawed.
In Unlocking the Keto Code, Dr. Gundry introduces readers to the concept of "mitochondrial uncoupling," the true biological mechanism behind the success of keto diets. Contrary to popular belief, ketones are not the miraculous fuel they are often portrayed to be. Instead, a prolonged very low-carb diet can result in adverse effects such as muscle wasting and cognitive decline. Dr. Gundry's findings reveal that to unlock the benefits of ketosis, it is not necessary to completely eliminate carbohydrates.
This insightful and practical book guides readers on how to enhance mitochondrial uncoupling without extreme carb restrictions. Dr. Gundry shows how to incorporate enough ketones and polyphenols—plant compounds essential for the process—by consuming a diverse range of foods. These include plant-based foods typically forbidden on a keto diet, as well as ketone-generating foods like goat and sheep milk products. Readers are also introduced to the idea of a timed eating schedule, further aiding in metabolic health.
Moreover, this book demystifies the power of superfoods and common ingredients like apple cider vinegar, revealing the science behind their effectiveness—often for reasons far different from what is commonly understood.
Grounded in the latest scientific research, Unlocking the Keto Code is tailored for those who have struggled with the traditional keto diet, vegetarians and vegans interested in exploring keto, and anyone aiming to lose weight and improve their health without sacrificing the joy of eating a varied diet. With comprehensive food lists, practical hacks, and brand-new recipes, Dr. Gundry makes adopting this innovative approach to keto both accessible and enjoyable.
