About this listen
Conventional weight-loss advice is failing millions of people. In this ground-breaking audiobook, the best-selling author of The Case Against Sugar exposes the bad science behind it and explains how a low-carb, high-fat diet could hold the key to losing weight - for good.
Eat less, lose more: a mantra few of us would disagree with and one we’ve heard countless times in official health advice. And yet doctors treating diabetes and obesity are experiencing extraordinary results among patients by taking a different approach - not by counting calories, but by eating a low-carb, high-fat diet.
Setting out the case for this ‘ketogenic’ approach to eating, Gary Taubes analyses the bad science behind the nutritional dogma that has brought us to a diabetes and obesity crisis. He shows how the fat shaming so prevalent in our society is a result of scientists mistakenly believing that we get fat because we consume more energy than we expend; that those who fatten easily have no willpower. In reality, he argues, we fatten due to our hormonal makeup and lowering insulin levels is the only way to lose weight without crippling hunger.
Full of eureka moments, this explosive audiobook offers hope for anyone wishing to prevent or reverse diabetes or obesity and makes the merits of a ketogenic lifestyle impossible to ignore.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Essential read if you struggle with your weight
How refreshing to find a book that challenges the mainstream medical approach which clearly is not working. For years, doctors parrot the idea only of "energy in, energy out" - with little thought for why we don't ever have the good outcomes. This book looks at the massive amount of evidence that shows its carbs that screw up our metabolism- and how a low carb, high fat (keto) diet can help. Not only does the author and narrator make this topic easy to review, but encourages us to try for ourself

Excellent, needs more on fasting and exercise
Excellent book. The first few chapters were a tad wordy for me, given that I had already knew a lot about the subject, but I think they would be a good intro. The latter two thirds of the book is excellent conservative science giving a near comprehensive overview.
This book is aimed at folk sicker than me, i.e. most Americans. I have a BMI of 29 (I am so cross I was not warned re fructose!) and am aged 61, but I bicycle at 170W for 4 hours most weekends, and want to know more about timed eating and exercise. (btw, I run & ride with hash house harriers, and am familiar with many folk who take up running and cycling later in life... it is possible!) During the last 2 years there is a lot of new research re keto / LCHF for sport, and I hope master sci journalist Taubes could start to cover it. I would love more details of Jason Fung's yet to be published work on Timed Eating - Gary, your youTube interview of him had details near the 40 - 50 min mark that I found invaluable.
Nonetheless, this book is also invaluable - thank you so much. And congrats on your 'The Case Against Sugar', which is wonderfully exemplary science - wouldn't the world be a better place if nutrition scientists had mustered even 10% of your discipline!
btw, I cannot find the .pdf, but it is not essential.

Excellent
Great overview of keto- how it works, why it works and how to make it work for you, also provides a history of current diet models and their limitations. Highly recommended if you are keen to learn more about keto.

Everything you need to know right here
This was such a great explanation of all things keto. If you want something easy to follow and understand then look no further. So many moments where it all just clicked.

Good for reaffirming why you went ketogenic
Great book for if you've fallen off the wagon and forgotten why you gave up ice cream in the first place.

Enjoyed this book immensely
I am not a sciencey person. However i found this book fascinating and I have actually listened to it twice now, trying to take it all in and digest all the interesting pieces of info. I felt like he was writing about me, he talks about "those that fatten easily" and it just makes sense. I feel seen! Those interested in Keto its a great read and one i would recommend.

So many A-Ha moments!!
Loved the content. Loved the science. Loved the referencing. I feel like every facet of keto was covered except the inflammatory accusation that the medical world avoids the LCHF Keto diet as they can’t sell pills to healthy people. Many a book has been written that throws this accusation but Gary Taubes doesn’t even mention it. He simply states what he has seen, experienced and quotes those he has interviewed. Loved every single minute.
Only small criticism is the narrator spoke so quickly, at times it was hard to keep up.
