This is one of those “ugh, that was such a good book” moments. This was such a good book. As Taubes puts it, “This book is a work of journalism masquerading as a self-help book”, but something about that just worked for me. While pursuing the keto diet (and losing tons of weight along the way), this book helps shade in the less-defined areas of “how it all works” quite well. It’s well, well worth a read if you’re curious about the “how” behind keto in any form or fashion. So good.
