FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF The Case Against Sugar

Conventional weight-loss advice is failing millions of people.

For years we've heard the mantra "eat less, lose more." And yet, doctors treating diabetes and obesity are experiencing results among patients by taking a different approach: not by counting calories, but by eating a low-carb, high-fat diet.

In this explosive, groundbreaking book, Gary Taubes breaks down the nutritional dogma that has led us to the current diabetes and obesity crisis and sets out the case for this ketogenic approach to eating. Full of eureka moments and essential practical advice, The Case for Keto establishes how many of us can achieve and maintain a healthy weightβ€”for life.

Cogently argued, agenda-shifting... a life changer - Observer
What should we eat? Gary Taubes provides the answer. His work has changed everything about the way I eat. – Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project
Gary Taubes's book violates everything leading medical societies and governmental agencies espouse – but Taubes is right and they are wrong. This book provides the best path for most people who are overweight or obese to restore health. – Orrin Devinsky, M.D., Professor of Neurology & Neuroscience, New York University School of Medicine
