Synopsis

The book describes how a strict high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet shifts the body away from glucose and towards using ketone bodies for energy, while also noting that some people experience gastrointestinal discomfort, low energy and mood changes often referred to as the “keto flu”. It proposes adding alkaline foods such as leafy greens, other vegetables, broths, healthy oils, nuts and seeds to support a more sustainable way of eating.

Dr Cabeca outlines research that informed her method and explains her view of how hormone production changes with age and how this relates to increased visceral fat. By pairing keto staples with foods intended to bring the body’s pH to a more alkaline level, the approach is presented as a way to address belly fat and support hormone balance, with an additional focus on mood.
