Nutritional Ketosis, the Fasting Alternative

Not a recipe book, this book introduces the ketogenic diet for beginners and those interested in not only water fasting (or alternatives to water-only), but how to use ketosis as an alternative or additional plan to fasting. The question "What is the keto diet?" is covered in detail as well as the basics of nutritional ketogenic rules. Health is the main goal and focus of eating ketogenically throughout this book. This book explains how ketosis can be used as a way to mimic fasting and how this differs from starvation mode. Reap health benefits from ketogenic eating through real food and healthy choices that reduce inflammation, the real cause of most disease in a western world where the SAD (standard American diet) is rampant, as well as diabetes, issues with gut health and mental health, and an assortment of other diseases and disorders such as Alzheimer's, gastrointestinal issues, and obesity. You can easily use keto to gain or lose weight, and more importantly, to reduce allergy symptoms and restore health. Intermittent fasting and numerous lengths of fasting are covered, even though the majority of the book is about nutritional ketosis and knowing how to stay in it for either the short or long term. This book includes food lists and total carb counts for common foods for all three macronutrients (macros): fat, protein, and carbs, and how to manage them with the 25/25 Rule for simplicity. No meal plans or recipes are needed, so if you want those, find a different book. This book is designed to keep keto simple and effective.
