Eric Westman, MD, MHS, Duke University's foremost pioneer in health and nutrition, brings his wealth of clinical research and clinical care experience to your fingertips in his new book, The Adapt Program. Dr. Westman has distilled years of research findings into this approachable pocket guide to transitioning to and finding success on a ketogenic diet. The format of The Adapt Program is simple, but the book is packed with key information for everyone looking to embark on a keto diet. Dr. Westman focuses primarily on what people struggle with most--getting started and staying committed in the initial phase of the diet. From mindset to food choices, he walks you through the essential science and explains how to easily transition your body from carbohydrate and sugar dependence to using fat as your primary energy source. He also tackles common hurdles that people experience in first few weeks on keto and teaches you commonsense ways to handle both physical and mental changes.
The Adapt Program offers a streamlined approach, providing all the tools and knowledge you need to lose weight, find optimal health, and achieve your individual goals without trying to overwhelm you with every bit of scientific research behind why the diet is so effective. The book offers a practical outline to help anyone find success on a ketogenic diet, but also includes modifications to accommodate the needs of athletes and people with specific medical conditions, such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, hypertension, and more. Are you looking to take the leap into a ketogenic diet and figure out how to stick with it without having to wade through hundreds of pages of complicated text? The Adapt Program will show you the way.
