About this product

Details. Condition: New. Format: Hardback. ISBN: 9780063118386. Publisher: Harper Wave. Series: The Plant Paradox (Book 7). Overview. Unlocking the Keto Code is Dr. Steven R. Gundry's revolutionary take on ketogenic eating, part of his bestselling Plant Paradox series. Rather than repeating standard low-carb advice, Gundry uncovers the real biological driver behind keto's success and shows readers how to achieve the same fat-burning, energy-boosting results without extreme carbohydrate restriction. This hardback edition is an essential read for anyone who has tried keto before, whether it worked brilliantly or left them frustrated and unsatisfied.. About the Book. For years, doctors and dieters credited ketosis itself — and the ketones it produces — as the magic behind keto's benefits, from steady weight loss to sharper thinking and reduced disease risk. In Unlocking the Keto Code, Dr. Gundry challenges that assumption, revealing that the body cannot actually thrive on fat and ketones alone, and that a strict, long-term low-carb approach can quietly damage muscle mass and cognitive health. Drawing on his own clinical research, Gundry identifies the true mechanism behind keto's success: a cellular process called mitochondrial uncoupling. He explains how readers can trigger this process without eliminating all carbohydrates, using strategic plant foods, polyphenol-rich ingredients, ketone-generating dairy alternatives such as goat and sheep milk products, and simple timed-eating patterns. The book also tackles popular "superfood" claims, including the truth behind apple cider vinegar, separating genuine science from wellness-industry myth. Packed with practical food lists, hacks, and refreshed recipes, this guide makes keto accessible for vegetarians, vegans, athletes, and anyone who assumed keto wasn't for them — a science-led, myth-busting roadmap rather than another restrictive diet plan.. Reveals the real science behind why keto works — mitochondrial uncoupling, explained simply. Less restriction, same results — practical ways to include more plant carbs while staying in the fat-burning zone. Backed by clinical research from a respected physician and New York Times bestselling author. Includes recipes and food lists to make the plan simple to follow day-to-day. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans wanting a flexible route into keto. Durable hardback edition — a lasting addition to any health and wellness bookshelf. About the Author. Dr. Steven R.
