In the last couple of years, more and more attention has been focused on the "keto diet" eating

foods high in fat, moderate in proteins, and low in carbohydrates. A quick Google search reveals

a broad array of opinions on the topic: from keto purists-"the Keto Police," as some call

them-who disdain even the whiff of a carbohydrate in the vicinity, to those who scoff entirely

at the ketogenic concept, characterizing it as a recipe for muscle loss and other ills.

In this accessible, easy-to-read, easy-to-use guide, John Hutmacher-"The Keto Coach"-lays

out a common-sense, science-based approach for using a ketogenic diet to promote healthy

weight loss, better nutrition, and dietary, rather than medicinal, relief from a host of common

complaints and illnesses. Offering practical suggestions (for women on vacation: "eat whatever

you want and rest; the reduction in the stress hormone cortisol could even help you come back

thinner"), field-tested, research-based advice ("One of the most common myths is that you can't

build muscle on ketosis; once again, science proves differently"), and kitchen-proven recipes

("Bacon 'n Cheese Egg Bake," "New York Fat Head Pizza," "Keto Peanut Butter and Chocolate

Chip Ice Cream"), Hutmacher avoids the extremes and makes the keto approach reasonable,

understandable, and above all, do-able.

If you're struggling to lose stubborn belly fat, suffering the discomfort of acid reflux, or just

wishing to regain a leaner, more shapely body form, let The Keto Coach guide you to a whole

new approach to eating, exercising, and enjoying life.
