The Keto Diet: From Science to Practice – eBook

Is keto a weight-loss miracle or a risky fad? The real answer lies in the scientific evidence, not in the ads.

The Keto Diet: From Science to Practice is a comprehensive, science-based guide to the ketogenic diet as peer-reviewed research presents it: how it works, what studies say about its benefits and risks, and when it suits you and when it doesn't. Every claim is backed by scientific references, and every benefit is rated by strength of evidence: strong, preliminary, or hypothesis.
