Like many doctors and nutrition experts, bestselling author Dr. Steven Gundry has long endorsed the ketogenic diet - a style of eating that heavily restricts carbohydrate intake to make the body burn fat for fuel. Because ketosis offers a variety of health benefits, including weight loss, reduced risk of illness, and enhanced energy, Dr. Gundry believed his patients’ efforts to adhere to the challenging regimen was worthwhile. That is, until his research uncovered a shocking truth: We’ve gotten keto all wrong.

Leading health blogger Jimmy Moore and researcher and internist Dr. Eric C. Westman join forces again to explain the powerful therapeutic effects of a ketogenic diet—one that combines a customized carbohydrate restriction, moderation of protein intake, and real food-based fats—which is emerging in the scientific literature as a means for improving a wide range of diseases, from Type 2 diabetes to Alzheimer's and more. Simply eating a low-carb diet alone isn't enough, and Moore and Westman tell you why. Have you looked at a low-carb diet simply as a means to lose weight? What if you learned that combining a low-carb nutritional approach with a high fat intake produces a powerful therapeutic effect on a wide variety of health conditions that most people think requires medication to control? That’s what Keto Clarity is all about. Jimmy Moore, a leading low-carb diet blogger and podcaster, has reunited with his Cholesterol Clarity co-author Dr. Eric C. Westman, a practicing internist and low-carb diet researcher, to bring you the crystal-clear information you need to understand what a ketogenic diet is and why it may be the missing element in your pursuit of optimal health. This book includes exclusive interviews from twenty of the world's foremost authorities from various fields bringing their depth of expertise and experience using this nutritional approach. Moore and Westman explain why ketosis is normal and how this nutritional approach is being used therapeutically by many medical professionals. You will find a step-by-step guide to help you produce more ketones and track your progress, real life success stories, and more. The solid evidence for nutritional ketosis in dealing with many of the chronic health problems of our day is presented, including but not limited to: epilepsy, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome.

In recent years, intermittent fasting - restricting calorie intake for a set number of hours or days - has become an increasingly popular diet strategy. While some in the medical community initially dismissed the idea as a dangerous fad, recent research not only validates the safety of fasting for weight loss but also offers compelling evidence of wide-ranging health benefits, from reversal of diabetes and other metabolic disorders to enhanced cognitive function and increased longevity.

For decades we have been taught that fat is bad for us, carbohydrates better, and that the key to a healthy weight is eating less and exercising more. Yet despite this advice, we have seen unprecedented epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Taubes argues that the problem lies in refined carbohydrates, like white flour, easily digested starches, and sugars, and that the key to good health is the kind of calories we take in, not the number.

Popular nutritionist Nora Gedgaudas returns with advice that may sound counterintuitive: eat fat to burn fat. In her new book, Primal Fat Burner, she explains the benefits and science behind a ketogenic diet: It switches your metabolism from running on sugars to running on healthy fats. As Gedgaudas reveals, numerous studies in recent years have refuted the previously promoted anti-saturated fat and anti-cholesterol agenda. Now, Gedgaudas explains, science shows that fat isn't a no-no but rather a yes-yes.

Publisher's Summary
A ketogenic diet isn't something new that has been recently formulated; people have been on a ketogenic diet for virtually three million years in which our brains were nurtured and evolved. Now the human brain is not only shrinking, but brain atrophy is the norm as we age and get plagued with diseases such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
People mistakenly think that they need to eat less and exercise more to create a calorie deficit in order to lose weight. This is not how diet and exercise helps with weight loss. A well-formulated keto-adapted diet along with proper exercise builds muscle and muscle builds mitochondria. It is in the mitochondria where fat is oxidized so you can keep your cells and liver insulin sensitized. Weight loss and health is about healthy mitochondria and about controlling hormones and specifically insulin.
This is not a diet, it is a lifestyle. By eating this way, you will begin to heal your cells and will keep evolving your body into the happy and healthy person you want to be. This book is filled with the most impeccable nutrition information to fuel your cells. Maria's passion goes beyond explaining the "why", she is a master in the kitchen and loves food. Her keto-adapted recipes at the end of the book tie all the nutrition together so you can become Keto-Adapted faster than ever.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

A good resource of practical nutritional solutions
Missing from the book description and many reviews of this book is that this is a very good reference book to match nutritional solutions to physical problems.
I am going to buy 4 copies of this book in hard copy version. One for myself, and the three others for people who could benefit from the nutritional (suggested food or vitamin) solutions offered for a variety of specific problems. (Weight, Fertility, Hair Loss, Eczema, Heart, Diabetes, Allergies, Digestion, Energy, etc etc etc. - the examples shared in her book are numerous and varied.)
Maria Emmerich's nutritional advice is helpful to people who want to lessen reliance on pharmaceuticals.
The application of the Ketogenic Way Of Nutrition is explained, but this book is different from the other ketogenic books I've read in that it offers very usable, practical, applicable information. Like how to choose vitamins, and which vitamins to take in the morning or evening, before eating, or with food. With the price of supplements, that one feature makes purchase of this book valuable - buy the best vitamins or minerals or food for your health, and save money by not buying the wrong stuff. I didn't know there were different kinds of magnesium, for example, and she explains the difference and why one kind is better than another.
Yes, I agree with other reviewers that portions *appear* to be self-promoting. And, for that reason I held off listening to this book - choosing other keto-related books first. BUT, this one book would have helped me to make better choices when I started buying vitamins and supplements recommended (vaguely) in the other books. I appreciate the specificity in this book on how to choose vitamins, or minerals, and like the succinct way Maria Emmerich can put in a few sentences why certain people need certain vitamins or minerals and how lack of, or addition of, these supplements will harm or help the body.
The audio version is enjoyable and educational, but because the information is detailed a hardcover will be handy to use as reference. It's easier to flip to a section in a hardcover to look something up than with an audio version. Also, it's easier to share information with friends and family with an actual book to show them when a chapter or paragraph addresses issues they are dealing with.

Still wondering...
Interesting take on the keto diet. I heard a lot of new information explained in a down to earth manner. However I still don't know what the author means by the phrase "well planned keto adapted diet!" How do you actually plan a meal or menu? The book was filled with great tips that support her plan but the actual framework for applying this is lacking. The book has a ton of supporting info for why she promotes keto but not enough on applying to your own life. Her web site sells menu plans... That she really didn't promote which I am glad. If I like a message I will check it out without a book long ad. She's extreme about everything but if what you are doing isn't working..... Perhaps another read of this will clear things up more. I haven't read her first book so maybe there's info there?

Quite possibly my best purchase recently...
After listening to jimmy Moore's ketoclarity book I wanted further inspiring and knowledgeable works to support my newly decided on lifestyle change. I chose this book, it was amazing. I have now purchased the hardcover of her two recipe books (everyone likes a hard copy in the kitchen) and a hard copy of this book to lend to friends. Thank you Maria. After only two weeks on this new journey I am already seeing positive changes.

Faithful to the ketogenic lifestyle.
The sole distinguishing and redeeming value of this book from other keto books is that is takes the time to enumerate ailments and their causes that may be addressed with the ketogenic diet. The listener must be satisfied with endless testimonials as proof, and these often prove to be overly self-congratulatory to the author. These comprise a large chunk of the total text.
The performance tends to sing song and drone on so that the listener is beside themselves when they hear the words, "the end."
I would recommend the following in order: "Good Calories, Bad Calories" or "why We Get Fat" by Gary Taubes, "Living Low Carb" by Bowden, and, if you decide that the keto diet is for you, "Keto Clarity" by Jimmy Moore and Dr. Eric Westman. "Keto Adapted" should be about the tenth book you should buy.

keto adapted?
The title of this book doesn't really accurately describe the contents. A more appropriate name would be "A Supplement Salesman's Wet Dream" The author spends more time taking about supplements you "need" to be taking and less time on the subject implied by the title. If you want to learn about the keto diet this book isn't right for you. If however you want to spend hundreds of dollars a month on supplements, then I highly recommend this book. she seriously lists like 45 different pills you "need" to be taking. I'm pretty sure she broke the record for number of times the word "supplement" appeared in any publication.

Very difficult to differentiate between testimonials and author
Testimonials are good--and maybe better outlined in written form--but very difficult to differentiate between testimonials and author. I bought the book for the author's insight and musings--but roughly 50% of the book is of client stories I'm not interested in and do not relate. Cannot recommend.

Fluff
#1 complaint is the really obnoxious and overblown testimonials. Couldn't make it all the way through the book but they claim everything from helping conceive to curing a child's autism and increasing their IQ! It wouldn't surprise me that if in later chapters they claimed that once they adopted Maria's "well formulated keto adapted diet" they started to shit gold nuggets.

Started out great but became Woo quickly
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Eliminate all of the stuff about hydration, supplements and above all the testimonials
What do you think your next listen will be?
probably nothing on this topic
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
less emotional additions
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Keto-Adapted?
all the stuff for which there is little medicl evidence to support the claims made. But then it woould probly be a pamphlet.
Any additional comments?
Having read pretty much every other book on low carb I was hoping that this would be an easy book I could recommend to fellow physicians who have yet to accept that the standard low fat high carb diet is the cause of many of our current medical problems. And to empasize to them that low carb is not just a diet but a way of life for people who are carb sensitive.
Unfortunatley, no. In fact I hope they don't accidentally come across this because after listening to a well present summary of the documented known benefits of a low carb high fat diet, they will then be subjected to a myriad, which for lack of a better term, is called woo. Because at that point, they might well consider everything that came before in the book as woo as well.
In fact, this book seems to be doing exactly the opposite of what the people that she refers to and quotes (Taubes, Attia, wetc) are trying to do, i.e. bring true science to the area of nutrition.
For example:
1) hydration - don't driink while eating because the fluid will dilute the digestive juices? Also, drink twice your body weight in ounces? Why 2 why not 1 or 3 or 4? Where's the data that hydration does anything?
2) supplements - any evidence that any work? And when you put people on multiple ones at the same time, if there is some benefit, how do you know which if any of the supplemts worked? And of course, all of these observations she made were in people also who had radically changed their diet. So which of these changes were responsible?
Now I know her response would be one of the most frightening phrases one hears in medicine "Well, in my clincial experience I've found that my patients all respond to ....(fill in your preferred woo).
3) the testimonals - at least farm out the ones that are clearly silly. For example, the women with the migraines who was found to have a pineal cyst on, I assume, an MRI after a severe headache. First of all these are not at all uncommon and and almost all incidentally when someone has an MRI for something else as they have no relationship to migraine or other symptoms when small. Long before they get large enough to cause headaches, many other symptoms would have developed and it would have been diagnosed. Thus when a doc listens to this and the suggestion implied that the standard amercian diet caused it and that a low carb diet caused it to get smaller, they will roll their eyes and probably question whehter the low carb diet had anything to do with her migraines getting better, which it most likely did. As for the cyst getting smaller. Get several radiologist together to measure a 1 cm cyst on MRI and you'll get several different answers. Those measurements are just not that accurate.
4) The the whole hormone chapter. Not losing too much fat quickly during pregnancy because of the toxins released from the fat might adversely affect the baby? Sorry, but I've seen too many neurologic complications of pregnacy for which obesity was a major factor. Also I've heard that same argument used to tell people to lose weight slowly. Again, where is there any credible data to show that toxins are actually released from fat during weight loss? And the testimonials that low carb will increase the chance of a successful pregnancy?
5) All of the comments about the pathophysiology for all of the conditions she mentions and how varios supplements all improve or cure them.Clearly these are all speculations and should clearly be indicated as such, not as accepted knowledge.
6) Probiotics and the immune system, how exercise improves the immune system, and on and on, all presented as if there is data out there to support any of these claims and that she is just giving us a summary of something everyone in her area of nutrition already knows.
I think you can get why I talking about.
If you are looking for a Taubes, Attia, Teicholz, or the others that have written well researched books, you won't find it here.
But if you are in the mood for truth mixed in with alot of unsubstantiated claims for supplements ( I love the recurring comments about sea salt and the theory as to why we need supplements but our ancestors didn't) along with inspirational stories about people attributing whatever they were cured of to a low carb diet then you might find this interesting.

A book of self congratulation
The info in this book is valuable but it’s dwarfed by the incessant gushing testimonials that come out of nowhere without warning. I could never figure out whether Maria was speaking or one of the dozens of people offering high praise to her.
It’s very difficult to enjoy this audiobook and it’s putting me off from buying any more of her books.

Not Really Suitable as an Audiobook
I recommend choosing the actual book over the audiobook if you're interested in this title. I gave up part way into chapter 5 because it doesn't work as an audio: There are too many lists (supplements, tests etc) that the narrator must read out that it begins to make little sense; obviously the reader is better being able to see these written down for themselves so they can easily refer to them when necessary. I've returned this title to Audible and will buy a hard copy of the book instead.

Best Diet & Health Book I Have Ever Read
I must have read 30-40 diet book in my life. Not because I'm over weight but because I have been searching for the perfect way to eat for 20 plus years. I've tried most of the diets I've read about and finally I feel like I have found the way we are supposed to eat for optimum health.
Maria's book stands out amongst all the other in how clearly she outlines what we need to eat and what we need to avoid and more importantly why. She keeps it mostly simple but also gets into technical details so everyone should find the level they want.
This is a book I will buy a hard copy of so I can refer to it over and over. Her recipe books look amazing so glad I gave this a go I will be recommending it to anyone interested in the way I now eat.
I love how she talks more about how it helps people with different conditions rather that weight loss, which seems to be a side effect of this most natural and healthy way of eating.
There are some stories and testimonials about people recovering from some really serious conditions, many of them quite surprising.
This might just be one of those book's that change your life forever.

Very interesting
I have changed my entire diet as a result of reading this book. Still getting used to feeling so full all the time. I like having 3 meals a day, but this way of eating sort of stops that as you are never hungry.
A lot of testimonials from other pacientes.
Plus she doesn't give an actual list of what you can eat which is a shame. However you can easily find out on google.

Nothing new here
What disappointed you about Keto-Adapted?
Yet another book that concentrates almost solely on the benefits of Keto in reversing type 2 diabetes. That's great information but can be gotten from every other book on Keto. Difference was this one kind of sold itself as being about benefits of Keto for non-diabetics as well. Precious little along those lines. Disappointing.
Would you ever listen to anything by Maria Emmerich again?
No
