How I Lost 40lb on the Keto Diet

By: Simeon Nikolov

Narrated by: Richard Sadowsky

The ketogenic, or keto, diet is a low-carb, high-fat dietary approach that has gained popularity for its potential health benefits, such as weight loss, improved mental clarity, and increased energy levels. The primary goal of the keto diet is to achieve a metabolic state called ketosis, wherein the body burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. This is accomplished by consuming a diet high in fats, moderate in proteins, and low in carbohydrates. One of the key benefits of the keto diet is its ability to promote weight loss by reducing hunger and increasing satiety, making it easier for individuals to adhere to a calorie deficit. The diet has also been shown to positively impact various health conditions, such as diabetes, heart health, digestive health, mental health, and even cancer. A successful keto diet involves consuming whole, nutrient-dense foods, prioritizing high-quality proteins, and healthy fats, while limiting carbohydrate intake. Foods to eat on the keto diet include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, non-starchy vegetables, nuts, seeds, and oils. Foods to avoid include grains, legumes, high-carb fruits, and processed foods high in sugar and unhealthy fats.

To tailor the keto diet to individual needs and preferences, it can be combined with other dietary approaches, such as Paleo, vegetarian, vegan, or Mediterranean. This versatility allows individuals to create a personalized eating plan that aligns with their unique goals and lifestyle. Starting the keto diet requires careful planning, including calculating macronutrient ratios, meal planning, and understanding the role of sleep, exercise, and supplements in the diet's success.

The narrator does a terrific job of being clear and easy to follow.

The Entire Rundown

I must admit that prior to listening to this book, other than the name, I didn't know anything about the keto diet. This gave me what one could call the entire rundown of what it is, its history, what it consists of, what to avoid while on it, etc. It sure had me interested and I would highly recommend it for anyone who is willing to try it out.

Well rounded info

I really like how this didn't shy away from the potential downsides, really good to have all sides of the information on hand. Also it gave helpful ways to mitigate the negatives. I've been curious about this diet for a while since I fast everyday anyway and this was a wealth of information. Very direct and clear, the narrator does a great job of being informative but not robotic like many other narrators who do informative books. all in all I think it's a great audiobook that's 'easy to digest' well worth a credit
