Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Readers looking for a new angle on diets will appreciate this detailed introduction to ketones. Newport, a physician specializing in neonatal care, discusses becoming an avid "messenger for ketones." She writes that ketogenic diets have been around for nearly a century, with the Atkins diet being perhaps the best-known version. In her words, this regimen is a "low-carb, high-fat diet" with theorized benefits for treating various health conditions, notably epilepsy, and improving memory, sleep, and energy, as well as losing weight. Newport also includes a number of case studies and her own personal experiences to illustrate the book's "why go keto" message. Intent on showing that the diet has a scientific underpinning, she explains the "Biochemistry 101" behind ketones, though many readers are likely to skip past the complicated accompanying charts. Commendably, her approach isn't one-diet-fits-all; Newport offers a "full spectrum" of keto diets, along with specific steps for getting started, recipes, and an explanation of the role of coconut oil in a healthy diet. A concluding q&a section serves as a helpful summary. Whether one jumps on the keto bandwagon, Newport is an undeniably well-informed advocate for her diet of choice. (Feb.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
