Story
Leading health blogger Jimmy Moore and researcher and internist Dr. Eric C. Westman join forces again to explain the powerful therapeutic effects of a ketogenic diet—one that combines a customized carbohydrate restriction, moderation of protein intake, and real food-based fats—which is emerging in the scientific literature as a means for improving a wide range of diseases, from Type 2 diabetes to Alzheimer's and more. Simply eating a low-carb diet alone isn't enough, and Moore and Westman tell you why. Have you looked at a low-carb diet simply as a means to lose weight? What if you learned that combining a low-carb nutritional approach with a high fat intake produces a powerful therapeutic effect on a wide variety of health conditions that most people think requires medication to control? That’s what Keto Clarity is all about. Jimmy Moore, a leading low-carb diet blogger and podcaster, has reunited with his Cholesterol Clarity co-author Dr. Eric C. Westman, a practicing internist and low-carb diet researcher, to bring you the crystal-clear information you need to understand what a ketogenic diet is and why it may be the missing element in your pursuit of optimal health. This book includes exclusive interviews from twenty of the world's foremost authorities from various fields bringing their depth of expertise and experience using this nutritional approach. Moore and Westman explain why ketosis is normal and how this nutritional approach is being used therapeutically by many medical professionals. You will find a step-by-step guide to help you produce more ketones and track your progress, real life success stories, and more. The solid evidence for nutritional ketosis in dealing with many of the chronic health problems of our day is presented, including but not limited to: epilepsy, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome.

Intermittent fasting is a lifestyle in which you can eat many more of the foods you actually enjoy and still lose weight at the same time. At the same time, intermittent fasting isn’t just about losing weight. It also has other health benefits, too, making it something that everyone should do even if they aren’t looking to lose fat. The ketogenic diet, or the keto diet as most would say, is a simple food plan that’s realistic and one that can actually be followed long term.

A decent primer, if one is needed.
What did you like best about The Atkins Essentials? What did you like least?
I wasn't strict enough with my attempt. I needed it.
Would you be willing to try another book from Atkins Health and Medical Information Services ? Why or why not?
This is kinda salesy for their other products.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Nothing to say here, not much of a performance
Do you think The Atkins Essentials needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, it was written after its follow-up.

Good information but a little outdated
I wanted to start this diet again and had to make a 3 hour total drive so I thought I would get a head start on my reading. This helped but is a bit outdated. There is a new book called "The New Atkins For A New You" that is much better however Audible doesn't carry it. This one tells you not to drink coffee however the new one has used newer research and tell you it's not only ok but can help. However, for the basics and how to get started and even later how to move onto the later stages, it is a very good book.

Quit yelling at me.
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Mindless drones.
Would you recommend The Atkins Essentials to your friends? Why or why not?
I don't know that any of my friends need to be told what to do in this manner.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
By being an over the top authoritarian.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Atkins Essentials?
It was already the condensed version.
Any additional comments?
When wanting to get advice or gain knowledge of a topic I want a friendly knowledgeable voice. It seems that audible's editors don't realize the personal experience listening with earbuds is. Too many of the self help tiles, like this one, are done in the style of an authoritarian orator in a stadium full of true believers that want to be told what is what. That would work for me would be like a friend or calmly confident expert telling me what they know.
