Principia Ketogenica

This is not a diet book. There are no recipes or meal plans or how-to’s. It’s not chock full of motivational stories or anecdotes or testimonials. The only thing you’ll find in here is science, pure and simple. With 600 citations of evidential research papers and scholarly journal articles from over the past century, addressing 15 major health and fitness topics covering over 100 general subjects, this is the most comprehensive scientific coverage of the myriad health outcomes of ketosis, and carbohydrate restriction in general.
