This book gives the reader an opportunity to learn all about the Ketogenic, or Keto diet.  It explains the reasoning behind the diet. In the Ketogenic diet, the dieter increases intake of fat while lowering amounts of carbs and protein. The science behind it is that the foods eaten create a metabolic shift, which means your body starts to metabolize or burn food differently.  It takes about 2 to 4 weeks to get used to the diet, but once you do, hunger pangs are a rarity and it is much easier to diet.  This diet is very controversial and the book explains the benefits including lowering cholesterol and blood sugar and the fats that are normally stored in the body do not stay in the body anymore.  The problems are also explained so that you can choose if you are a good candidate for the diet. The book lists all the acceptable foods for the diet and includes many delicious recipes you can use.  It also lists what you cannot eat in order to keep your metabolism burning those fats.  The chapter on myths concerning the diet is very enlightening.
