Keto Fasting: Start an Intermittent Fasting and Low Carb Ketogenic Diet to Burn Fat Effortlessly, Fight Diabetes, Purge Disease and Become Keto Adapted
One of the most popular diets out there are intermittent fasting and keto. Both are extremely effective at weight loss, improving health, fighting diabetes and enhancing your performance. On top of that, they also promote great compliance because of reduced hunger. Instead, you'll have constant access to abundant energy because you'll be burning your own body fat for fuel.
Have you ever wanted to go for several days in a row without eating anything? At the same time, not lose muscle mass, get hungry, feel tired or exhausted? Instead, to be constantly energized and mentally sharp? That's what I'm talking about - intermittent fasting and keto will allow you to do just that.
Keto Fasting is a way of eating that shifts your body into its prime-primal state of functioning. It makes you extremely efficient at your bioenergetics production and allows you to always perform at your peak. If you're a hard-charging individual who wants to optimize their health, cognitive output, physical resilience and overall well-being, then you should definitely pick up this book.
•In Part One, I’m going to teach you the fundamentals of metabolism, nutritional ketosis and fasting. It’s the part where we’re going to delve into how it works on purely the physiological side. Some of the chapters talk about why you should go on a ketogenic diet, the benefits of fasting and how they can enhance your energy on the mitochondrial level. I’ll also step aside from pure science for a moment and rant about The Breakfast Myth and how fasting can make you free.
•Part Two is about the HOW – how to get into ketosis, how to know whether or not you’re in, how to choose your type of fasting and how to fast and feast. I’m also going to give you the guidelines on how to fast for several days in a row and how to use exogenous ketones.
•Part Three takes everything what you’ve learned and puts it all together – it’s about combining IF and keto. I’m going to tell you what changes you should make and what are the best foods to buy on a ketogenic diet. Because I not only want to empower your physiology but your psychology as well, I’ll give you some advice on creating new ketogenic habits. Eventually, I’ll provide you with a four-phase adaptation blueprint that will help you to get used to the ketogenic diet and start practicing extended fasting. Most importantly, there’s a separate chapter covering all of the mistakes you could make and how to avoid them. Lastly, there’s also room for some recipes (in a fasting book?!) and supplementation.
Intermittent fasting and low carb are physiologically very similar and are a match made in heaven. If you combine them you get a very sustainable nutritional strategy that will take your biology to the next level.

Extremely useful book for anyone that wants to learn about fasting and the keto diet, along with how our bodies function and what we need for the function better. Would definitely recommend.
4 stars though cause some of the information is repeated (literary copy and pasted from one page to another), there are typos and words that should’t be omitted, and the occasional splash of arrogance from the author when he says he is writing “top notch literature” or doing something else, which is amazing.
Otherwise, great read! 😄

Excellent primer with a strong link into the nutritional requirements of fasting as you enter and maintain Keto.
The biochemical breakdown of the shift into a ketonic state is written up in complete detail backed by the papers detailing the biochemical pathways so you not only get a guide ... you get an explanation.
