Description: Despite effective and widely accepted weight loss principles: restrict calories, eat less, and exercise more, the incidence of obesity in the U.S. has skyrocketed. Why? Twenty years of investigative reporting and interviews with practicing physicians who embrace ketogenic (low-carbohydrate, high-fat), renown author Gary Taubs makes a case for the keto diet as the best formula for health. Examine the keto movement both historically and scientifically to understand the hormonal etiology of obesity. Explore this manifesto for the fight against obesity and diabetes, and understand why established rules about eating healthfully might be the wrong approach to weight loss, and how ketogenic diets can help your clients achieve and maintain a healthy weight for life.

Objectives: • Describe the hormonal etiology of obesity. • Understand the historical and scientific evidence that illustrates the role of the keto diet upon weight loss. • Explain the recommended composition of a ketogenic diet.
