Acknowledgments

Think of
Keto Clarity
as your introduction to looking at nutrition and health from an alternative and yet equally viable dietary perspective that you probably haven’t heard a whole lot about before. The information contained within these pages shares the truth about the critical role a low-carbohydrate, moderate-protein, high-fat diet—in other words, a ketogenic diet—can play in improving your overall health and reversing the ill effects of many medical ailments and chronic diseases. When you face opposition for choosing to eat this way (and you will), let this book be a comforting source of encouragement and advice on your journey to better health.

So many of the foundational principles of a healthy diet that have long been held true in our society are not based on any kind of scientific evidence, and they simply don’t work for real people in the real world. Like our previous book,
Cholesterol Clarity
, this book will give you full access to the latest science in plain English, featuring many prominent scientists, physicians, dietitians, and researchers who are speaking up about the therapeutic use of ketones for a wide variety of purposes in improving health.

Be willing to question everything you’ve ever believed to be true about nutrition and embrace this new dietary paradigm, whose supporting scientific evidence is mounting. It’s only a matter of time before the information you will learn about in this book becomes the new normal. This is the cutting edge of nutritional health, and in
Keto Clarity,
you get a front row seat.
