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, the world’s leading low-carb diet blogger and podcaster, has reunited with his Cholesterol Clarity coauthor 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 all about 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 clearly explain why ketosis is normal, how this nutritional approach is being used therapeutically by many medical professionals, a step-by-step guide to help you produce more ketones and track your progress, real life success stories of people using a ketogenic diet, and more. The solid evidence for nutritional ketosis in dealing with many of the chronic health problems of our day is presented, including: epilepsy, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), heartburn (GERD), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The good evidence for ketogenic diets is also shared in dealing with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Parkinson’s Disease, dementia, mental illness, schizophrenia, bipolar, depression, narcolepsy, and sleep disorders. Plus, you’ll get the details on the emerging science that is showing great promise in treating cancer, autism, migraines, chronic pain, brain injury, stroke, kidney disease and so much more. Keto Clarity is your definitive guide to the benefits of a low-carb, high-fat diet. Full details on Jimmy Moore’s yearlong n=1 scientific experiment of nutritional ketosis, in which he used sophisticated blood testing technology to track and monitor his production of ketones and blood sugar to achieve rather remarkable effects on his weight and health, is also presented as well as food shopping lists, 25+ low-carb, high-fat recipes, and a 21-day meal plan to get you going on your ketogenic lifestyle change. Keto Clarity gives you a whole new perspective on the work that the late, great Dr. Robert C. Atkins started in earnest with his promotion of the low-carb approach beginning in the 1960s. That revolution continues boldly in this book designed to shift your paradigm on diet and health forever!

One of the Best Books on a Healthy Lifestyle

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

I waited until I read the entire book to do a review. This is the final book that I have read on a sting of books lauding the benefits of the low carbohydrate, high fat lifestyle. Everything I had read previous to this book expressed the science and theory behind becoming a "fat burner" vs. a "sugar burner". They explained why the concept of low-fat everything was a terrible idea from it's conception in the 1950's and why eating low-fat has made our Nation fat and sick. We've been lied to by our nutrition scientists. I've been telling my patients the wrong things about diet for the past 30 years, and I also have a degree in nutrition. I, and our dietary guidelines, were wrong. This is elegantly outlined in the groundbreaking book "The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet" by Nina Teicholz. She made the medical community take notice and re-think the low-fat debacle. There are a slew of other books that say the same thing. However, most of these low carb, high fat (LCHF) books are rather technical and don't actually tell you how to follow the principles behind becoming a fat burner. This book not only tells you the theory behind this new health movement, but gives you a step by step guide on how to to loose the weight you could never loose on all of those diets you have tried. This is not a diet book, since becoming a fat burner is the no-hunger way of loosing weight. It's not anything like dieting. Diets fail. The author, Jimmy Moore, started at 410 pounds and tried all of the diets until he discovered what most of Americans are doing wrong. Strangely, this book was co-written by a number of nutritions experts in the field since Jimmy doesn't have a bunch of initials after his name. What a great idea. A wonderful book written by someone who is credible since he lost so much weight, but backed by a number of credible nutritional experts and physicians. Highly recommended. Most of my staff are loosing weight on this program - medical assistant's and nurses alike. They are all eating lots of fat and watching their lipid parameters improve greatly while enjoying extra energy. I have a happy and soon to be skinny staff. Yes, I apparently inspired my staff by loosing over 35 pounds myself over three and a half months by eating wonderful foods and not counting calories, ever. I am rarely hungry. There is more science behind this concept than the Paleo movement and explains why the Paleo and other similar diets work fairly well. This is a bargain in the kindle version. The best advice I can give my patients who want to loose weight and avoid disease is to read this book. Now I know why all of my skinny vegan and vegetarian patients who have been avoiding fat all of their lives are getting diabetes, having heart attacks and strokes. Remember this equation: Elevated Insulin Equals Inflammation and Fat Storage. And sugar burners have high insulin. Are you a sugar or a bat burner?

Sure changes the way you think about eating. I have lost 40 pounds and now believe that everything we have been taught about eating is wrong. I no longer suffer from GERD and no longer take any medicine. My blood pressure is back in normal limits. I feel better and have more energy. Eliminate sugar and bread from your diet and you too can change your life. I have not been compensated for this review.

Keto Clarity, A Guide to Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet

Keto Clarity: Your Definitive Guide to the Benefits of a Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet by blogger Jimmy Moore is about his personal story of losing weight on the ketogenic diet. Jimmy began his blog in 2011 at the of age 32 while losing 180 pounds on a ketogenic diet. The success he had losing weight made him a big fan of the keto diet and his blog became popular with others wanting to lose weight. He interviewed experts on the ketogenic diet and wrote about all the issues and concerns with living long term on the diet. The book is a combination of his personal experiences on a ketogenic diet for 13 years and the advice and experiences of 21 experts in the ketogenic field, mostly doctors, dietitians and researchers.

Interesting details about being on a ketogenic diet (some new to me) from the book were:
1. Being in ketosis can cause you to test positive for alcohol on a breathalyzer.
2. When you get into ketosis it can cause a huge surge in Uric acid in the body which could bring about a gout attack; the Uric acid levels will usually normalize in 4 to 8 weeks.
3. Living in ketosis can improve your fertility and increase your sex drive from better hormone production.
5. Using urine ketone strips to test for ketosis has several draw backs: 1) it does not test for the critical ketone of beta-hydroxybutyrate but instead for acetoacetate so it does not tell you if you are producing the right ketones; 2) after several months in ketosis your kidneys may stop releasing ketones in the urine so you could be in deep ketosis and not tell from a urine strip.
6. A better way to test for ketosis is by using a home kit that analyzes a pin prick of blood for the right ketones.
7. It is possible to produce ketones and still have high blood sugar levels, something you want to avoid. The best way to avoid this is to use a home kit to test a pin prick of blood for glucose so you can monitor your blood glucose level to make sure it is going down as your ketones go up.
9. Being in ketosis improves your brain’s functioning and your mental energy.
10. Being in ketosis also improves your overall energy and heart functioning.
11. Carbohydrates are not an essential nutrient. If you don’t eat any, your body will produce them by breaking down protein. You actually have to limit your protein intake to stay in ketosis, although the amount varies from person to person.
13. Living on a ketogenic diet reduces inflammation.
14. There is solid scientific evidence that ketogenic diets work therapeutically for epilepsy, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, GERD and heartburn, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. There is also good evidence of the benefits from ketosis for Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, narcolepsy and other sleep disorders. Emerging areas of research that look very promising are cancer, autism, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, migraines, traumatic brain injury, stroke, gum disease, tooth decay, acne, eyesight, Lou Gehrig’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, kidney disease, restless leg syndrome, and aging.

Although it is hard for me to imagine how so many chronic diseases could be cured or improved by a ketogenic diet, it has been suggested that these diseases are all made worse by high levels of insulin in the blood and since the ketogenic diet cuts out all sugar, the reduction of insulin as a result could be the primary factor.

We have been on a ketogenic diet for a while, but the book inspired us to cut back on our protein intake and to get a blood sugar analyzer. We also ordered a ketone blood analyzer to determine the ratio of glucose and ketones in our blood.

Overall this was a great book that was easy to read and did a great job of explaining very abstract concepts. It was the best book on ketogenic living I have read, (and I have read a dozen or more). I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in their health. Five stars !

I’ve just started the keto diet and there’s SO MUCH conflicting information on the Internet that I was really confused! Halfway through this book now which is written in a way I can easily understand and explains the science behind it all. I’m finding it very interesting and I think making better progress because of it.

This was the book I was searching for. Every book I ordered was recipes and bits and snippets of information. I didnt Want recipes, I wanted clarity!
This really covers everything you need to know and cleared up a lot of the confusion from so called "internet gurus". It really simplifies what keto is and how to go about it. If you are thinking about keto or new to keto, this is the book for you.

I’d already bought into the keto approach, and the health benefits. This book reenforced this with some practical case studies and a wide range of supporting evidence. Also some nice anecdotal experience, and useful tips. As it can take several weeks to convert to keto, this book helps keep you focused during that tome if you are worried you’re off track.
