About the book:
The Keto Coach
A deeper look…
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.
