"There's a whole group of people out there who have dedicated their lives to am proving what an idiot i am. I think it's kind waste of their time, but they don't a and one of the counter arguments is, you know, if your hypothesis is a sugar and white flour, cause tes, obesity, et cetera, manifest in any traditional diet," he says.

For years, health organizations have preached the same rules for losing weight: restrict your calories, eat less, exercise more. So why doesn’t it work for everyone? The Case for Keto puts the ketogenic diet movement in the necessary historical and scientific perspective. It makes clear the vital misconceptions in how we’ve come to think about obesity and diet. Shermer and Taubes discuss: scientific consensus, nutrition, replication, why Newtonian mechanics doesn’t work with human bodies, the physics model of calories, complicating variables, intermittent fasting, which fruits and vegetables you should consume and avoid, cholesterol, heart disease, statins, and why it is okay to have bacon-and-eggs for breakfast.
