Story
Among Americans, diabetes is more prevalent today than ever. Obesity is at epidemic proportions; nearly 10% of children are thought to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. And sugar is at the root of these, and other, critical, society-wide, health-related problems. With his signature command of both science and straight talk, Gary Taubes delves into Americans' history with sugar: its uses as a preservative, as an additive in cigarettes, the contemporary overuse of high-fructose corn syrup.

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.

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.

Almost every day we are bombarded with the seemingly incontrovertible message that we must reduce our consumption of meat and dairy—or eliminate them from our diets altogether. But what if the pervasive message that the plant-based diet will improve our health and save the planet is misleading—or even false? What if removing animal foods from our diet is a serious threat to human health, and a red herring in the fight against climate change.

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.

While researching the toxic and addictive properties of sugar for Fat Chance, Robert Lustig made an alarming discovery - our pursuit of happiness is being subverted by a culture of addiction and depression from which we may never recover. Dopamine is the "reward" neurotransmitter that tells our brains we want more; yet every substance or behavior that releases dopamine in the extreme leads to addiction. Serotonin is the "contentment" neurotransmitter that tells our brains we don't need any more; yet its deficiency leads to depression.

Do it for your health
- By Anonymous User on 2020-07-12
Written by: Gin Stephens
Publisher's Summary
After a century of misunderstanding the differences between diet, weight control, and health, The Case for Keto revolutionizes how we think about healthy eating - from the best-selling author of Why We Get Fat and The Case Against Sugar.
Based on 20 years of investigative reporting and interviews with 100 practicing physicians who embrace the keto lifestyle as the best prescription for their patients' health, Gary Taubes gives us a manifesto for the 21st-century fight against obesity and diabetes.
For years, health organizations have preached the same rules for losing weight: restrict your calories, eat less, exercise more. So why doesn't it work for everyone? Taubes, whose seminal book Good Calories, Bad Calories and cover stories for The New York Times Magazine changed the way we look at nutrition and health, sets the record straight.
The Case for Keto puts the ketogenic diet movement in the necessary historical and scientific perspective. It makes clear the vital misconceptions in how we've come to think about obesity and diet (no, people do not become fat simply because they eat too much; hormones play the critical role) and uses the collected clinical experience of the medical community to provide essential practical advice. Taubes reveals why the established rules about eating healthy might be the wrong approach to weight loss for millions of people, and how low-carbohydrate, high-fat/ketogenic diets can help so many of us achieve and maintain a healthy weight for life.
This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF containing diagrams, lists, notes, and the bibliography.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
What the critics say
"Gary Taubes deserves a national science medal for helping to raise the critical question of why the food we eat is killing us. He hasn’t sat on the sidelines saying just do more of the same. As a result, his insightful reading of the medical literature offers new hope to people suffering from obesity." (Kevin Schulman, MD, Professor of Medicine, Stanford University)
"In my 40 years as a nutrition professor, I've never run across a diet book that so clearly explains how to follow a weight-loss diet and why it works. In addition, Gary Taubes shows how continuing the Keto Diet contributes to good health for years to come." (Janet C. King, PhD, Professor of the Graduate School, Department of Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology, University of California, Berkeley)
"In The Case for Keto Gary Taubes vigorously challenges the conventional view that low-fat, plant-based diets are healthy and that eating fats is risky, providing an historical context of the effectiveness of keto diets that goes back more than 150 years. I thoroughly recommend the book to anyone who struggles with weight control." (Lewis Cantley, director of the Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine and New York Presbyterian Hospital)

Reader sounds angry
I love all of Taubes' books, this one included, but the reader here (Hotter Graham) sounds like he's upset. He rushes through each paragraph as if it were an angry letter to the reader. I have to say, I find it very off putting and distracting.

What I needed to hear
This audio book was exactly what I needed to breathe more life into my Lchf journey.
The ease in which I was slipping in my eating was so slight that I began to question if this way of eating was working for me.
I was reminded it works if you work it.
Great book!

Another must read by Gary Taubes
In 2007, Gary Taubes published Good Calories, Bad Calories. It was a many years long project in which he researched hundreds of articles and interviewed over 600 researchers and authorities. I have been a family physician for 42 years. I first read the book in 2013 and have since reread it multiple times. As I was reading it, I realized it was the most exhaustive treatise on diet and health ever written. It was not just another "eat this way and you will be healthy" book, but rather a scientific treatise on the basis of what causes obesity and what foods are truly fattening and what foods are actually healthy and unhealthy based on science and physiology. It challenged the accepted dogma that eating fat and cholesterol is the cause obesity and heart disease, and has, over time, become probably the most influential work inspiring the current low carb movement. In The Case For Keto, Taubes applies his insight into the science of obesity to guide the reader on a practical application of low carb, ketogenic diets to treat obesity and diabetes. In researching The Case for Keto, Taubes interviewed 100 practitioners who are applying LCHF, ketogenic diets in their practices and also shares their experiences and insights. If you want to learn more about the science supporting LCHF, ketogenic diets and how to safely and practically implement the diet, this book is a must read.

Gary Taubes is fantastic!
I got my start in Keto after reading his book Why We Get Fat, and What to Do About It. I thought I’d try keto “for a month”, that was over 4 years ago. My 50+ year old body is healing, I’ve lost weight and inflammation. This was the third of Gary’s books I’ve “read” as an audiobook. His work is so thoroughly researched and chock full of useful information. Highly recommend this book!

Fantastically informative.
I am a practicing emergency physician. I have been in emergency medicine for the last 30 years. I was first introduced to Gary Taubes with his book Good Calories Bad Calories and have been a big fan ever since.
The tide of obesity and type two diabetes just never seems to stop. I seem to be treating more and more complications with each passing year. I have practiced this eating style for the last 15 years and the basic message is “it works”. If you want to understand what’s going on with your body and how it has changed in the modern world, this book is a must read.

Great for science nerds who want to know why!
This book is a great primer for the "why" of Keto vs every other diets. I am sure there are others like me that need to know why not just "do it". It is becoming more and more evident there are folks like me who gain weight easily and if I ever want to get control of it, I MUST cut out the carbs.
My only problem - the pdf does not include all of the referenced documents. For example, several photos are referenced in Chapter 15 Making Adjustments - the photographs of means referenced are not in the PDF. This would have been helpful.

Excellent introduction to LCHF Ketogenic diets
This book is a great primer on LCHF eating and why it might make sense for a lot of people. I appreciate the way the argument was presented and found it very compelling. Learning how to think about how to eat is very important!

Should be required reading
I have a voracious appetite for reading about nutrition and health — this book was excellent and I’d rate it in my top 5 of nutritional resources. ESPECIALLY as it relates to obesity and type 2 diabetes

Very reasonable
I would recommend this book to everyone interested in dieting and health. The book makes convincing arguments for the keto lifestyle. It addresses all of the controversies surrounding keto. It reassured me that continuing this way of eating would improve my health, part of my journey down the rabbit hole.

Great summaries of MD Perception if LCHF/Keto
I’m always interested in learning about perspectives of keto from the medical community. There’s so much dissent from most of the medical community about this type of eating and the effects on your bloodwork, so it’s refreshing to hear that more and more health experts are getting on board with this. I’m a nurse and have been doing a keto/carnivore diet for going on 2 years and I have never in my life felt better than when I’m eating keto. This book gives many anecdotal accounts of keto/LCHF successes and some are similar to mine, which reconfirm a what I know about this type of eating. You’ll feel reinsured about this type of eating when you listen the book. I’d definitely recommend, especially if you are new to keto and need some inspiration and motivation. Also, the narrator does an excellent job!

Worthy of repeat reading
Full of great information. Makes a relatively complex system and pathway much simpler. It’s relatively simple but we might make it complex because we aren’t willing to be ALL in. As I had my conversion experience, I kept fearing I was going to be sick at some point. Never happened and now someone else has written about it. Many people can gain confidence by not feeling so alone.
