Acknowledgments
Think of Keto Clarity as your introduction to looking at nutrition and health
from an alternative and yet equally viable dietary perspective that you probably
haven’t heard a whole lot about before. The information contained within these
pages shares the truth about the critical role a low-carbohydrate, moderate-
protein, high-fat diet—in other words, a ketogenic diet—can play in improving
your overall health and reversing the ill effects of many medical ailments and
chronic diseases. When you face opposition for choosing to eat this way (and
you will), let this book be a comforting source of encouragement and advice on
your journey to better health.
So many of the foundational principles of a healthy diet that have long been
held true in our society are not based on any kind of scientific evidence, and they
simply don’t work for real people in the real world. Like our previous book,
Cholesterol Clarity, this book will give you full access to the latest science in
plain English, featuring many prominent scientists, physicians, dietitians, and
researchers who are speaking up about the therapeutic use of ketones for a wide
variety of purposes in improving health.
Be willing to question everything you’ve ever believed to be true about
nutrition and embrace this new dietary paradigm, whose supporting scientific
evidence is mounting. It’s only a matter of time before the information you will
learn about in this book becomes the new normal. This is the cutting edge of
nutritional health, and in Keto Clarity, you get a front row seat.
