Metabolic Flexibility: How to Heal Your Metabolism with a Ketogenic Diet

Description

Metabolic Flexibility teaches you how to reset your metabolism with a ketogenic diet so that you can access stored fuel when you need it. This has 2 main benefits: one is never running out of energy and the other is mobilizing and burning excess fat stores to achieve ideal weight.

As a naturopathic doctor specializing in Environmental Medicine, Dr. Bonnie Nedrow unveils the impact of everyday chemical exposures that cause weight gain. She highlights the importance of detoxification during the weight-loss phase, not only for lasting success but also for safety. This step is critical due to an abundance of every-day chemicals classified as obesogens, chemicals that mimic hormones and can cause weight gain.

But the book doesn’t stop there. Metabolic Flexibility also explains how sleep and stress impact metabolism and how you can use exercise to stimulate fat burning and build muscle. It also explains how to fast, intermittent or longer, to support your weight-loss goals.

Perhaps the most important concept this book shares is that an exclusive ketogenic diet is not the best long-term nutrition plan. Dr. Nedrow encourages the reader to keto-adapt and then intelligently experiment with rotation diets that include a ketogenic phase combined with high complex carb options and fasting. Once you have trained your body to burn fat, you can create a nutrition and life-style plan to support health and healthy aging.

If you are ready to keto-adapt and want a comprehensive guide, this book is for you. Easy instructions, tracking logs, food lists, quick, whole-food keto meals and a complete yet approachable explanation of the science of metabolism.
