The revolutionary new science of keto is explored in Unlocking the Keto Code by Dr. Steven Gundry, author of the bestselling Plant Paradox series. The book challenges common myths surrounding the ketogenic diet and offers readers a fresh perspective on how to achieve the benefits of keto without strict deprivation.
Dr. Gundry reveals the importance of a cellular process called “mitochondrial uncoupling” in successful keto diets. Unlike traditional beliefs, the body cannot solely rely on ketones and fats for fuel in the long term. By focusing on having enough ketones and plant compounds like polyphenols present in the body, readers can unlock the process of mitochondrial uncoupling and reap the benefits of ketosis without extreme carb restrictions.
The book provides practical advice on incorporating plant-based foods and ketone generating foods into the diet to promote mitochondrial uncoupling. Dr. Gundry also discusses the effectiveness of superfoods like apple cider vinegar and dispels common misconceptions about their benefits.
Grounded in cutting-edge science, Unlocking the Keto Code is suitable for individuals who have struggled with traditional keto diets, vegetarians, vegans, and anyone looking to lose weight and improve their health while enjoying a diverse range of foods. With food lists, hacks, and new recipes, the book makes transitioning to a keto lifestyle easy and enjoyable.
