Reddit reviews What Is Fat For?: Re-Thinking Obesity Science

Dr. Richard K. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution I bought this initially because I wanted to read the chapter about digestive problems, of which I had a lot. Subsequently, I realized that I had diabetes, according to his definition which, sensibly, is much different than that of the American Diabetes Association.

Ignatius Brady. What is Fat For? Re-thinking Obesity Science. Alright, this is not a "pro-keto" book, so I guess it can't be on the list. But I heard about if from Michael Eades's review on his blog. The author Brady, like Eades before he retired, has a medical practice specializing in weight loss. Patients don't visit him until they've failed to lose weight repeatedly on their own. He keeps up with the science but he also knows that, no matter what the science says, if patients can't comply with a regimen, it's not very good. He has read Good Calories, Bad Calories and takes it seriously. He agrees that keto outperforms low fat but he ultimately rejects it because he has found that it creates too many noncompliance problems (I think Jason Fung might have a similar conclusion, please correct me if I am wrong). This book turned me on to the Protein Leverage Hypothesis, which blew my mind because of its scope and explanatory power.
