Keto for Cancer: Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy as a Targeted Nutritional Strategy

This is a fabulous book to read if you have cancer. It gives a history of cancer and the foods that drive it. It is detailed in giving you a diet plan to assist in your treatment.

A Very easy and interesting read. Lots of great information in a way anyone can understand. Important for any person diagnosed with cancer or even longterm illness!

Thie book offers a complex subject in a way that's simple enough for non medics to understand and implement. This is groundbreaking information from researcher Dr Thomas Seyfried who's written the introduction. I recommend this book for it's simple clear structure to help us understand this valuable information.

This has been a huge learning curve for me. Informative, practical, and while it covers the science it isn't at all impersonal. An indispensable book for those curious about what keto can do for cancer, and one I'll read and re-read for inspiration.

Excellent Very helpful.

Would have liked clarity of the strategy up front. Warning that if British hospitals see ketones above 3 let alone 7 they want you in hospital on a drip!

This book is a great resource for anyone interested in exploring how a ketogenic diet might impact cancer treatment or prevention. It’s well-written and provides a lot of valuable information about the potential benefits of keto for cancer patients. I found it both informative and easy to follow, even for someone without a medical background. That said, while the book offers plenty of insights, it’s important to approach it with an open but critical mind. Not everything in the book should be taken as absolute truth or gospel. The field of nutrition and cancer is incredibly complex, and every individual’s situation is unique. Doing your own research and consulting with healthcare professionals is essential before making any big dietary changes. One of the things I appreciated is that the book encourages thinking outside the box when it comes to nutrition and health. It’s a good starting point for learning about how diet can influence cancer outcomes, but it’s important to supplement it with other reputable sources and medical advice. Overall, Keto and Cancer is a helpful guide for anyone curious about the connection between keto and cancer. Just remember to balance the information with your own research and professional input for the best results. It’s a thought-provoking read but not the final word on the topic.

This book is real experience of using ketosis to fight cancer not for profit but to save her child .Very good guide of the do's and don'ts more extreme than weight lose ketogenic diet.

Explica muy detalladamente todos los aspectos para la intervención nutricional dirigida al paciente con Cáncer

J’avais déjà lu le livre de Thomas Seyfried sur le même sujet, son livre est une mine d’informaRions médicales mais en pratique quotidienne il a fallu celui de Miriam kalamian, certes le livre est en anglais mais pas de traduction à ce jour, il est indispensable, elle y expose la Diet Keto et cancer sous tous ses angles, l'aspect Pratique n’est pas négligé avec des idées menus, comment gérer les écarts, le sport, des réflexions sur les antioxydants et la fameuse question sur protéines et la glutamine.

This is a great book, and will be vital for many people as more and more realize dietary adjustments will complement and improve (if not replace) other interventions to treat cancer. The author details in fair depth "the metabolic approach to cancer" that was initiated by Otto Warburg nearly a century ago and has been revitalized by Thomas Seyfried. Put simply, modern humans are filling their tanks both with too much fuel and with different fuels at the wrong proportions (per evolutionary tuning). Our engines are strained, and this excessive and imbalanced intake can feed cancers. We can try to limit that by 1) restricting calories and 2) restricting carbs and proteins (that fuel cancer). That means a diet based on healthy fats, which can fuel normal cells but do not fuel the explosive growth of cancer tumors. The book goes into great detail about how to pursue this anti-cancer diet. A few thoughts on what I might like to see in the next edition: 1) A little more discussion on fasting, especially of duration longer than 2-3 days. All "extended fasting" is dismissed with a sentence, but there must be some room to talk about potential benefits (and harms) of fasting for periods longer than 3 days but shorter than, say, 30 days. Similarly, there is a great appendix of resources that are listed under various headings but there is no heading for "fasting." If the coverage of therapeutic fasting isn't expanded in the actual text of the book, it would at least be helpful to give a comprehensive list of the best current resources on science-based fasting. A comprehensive approach to metabolic healing should thoroughly investigate and discuss potential benefits of NOT eating as well as of ketogenic eating. 2) A little more clarity in the discussion on glutamine in foods. We know it is in animal protein (and obviously in glutamine supplements), but it is an amino acid that is in all kinds of things. If it plays a major role in feeding cancer, don't we want to try to limit it more greatly? I remain confused about the fact that keto staples like nuts and cruciferous vegetables ALSO have lots of glutamine. Do we try to restrict dietary glutamine, or not? If so, how? It would seem that rather than just a low protein ketogenic diet, what we really want would be a low glutamine ketogenic diet. Am I missing something? But other than that, 98 out of 100 still equals an A+ for this book!

Even if you aren’t suffering from cancer this is an excellent read. Clear information for a healthy diet which will impact on your life. I wish I had this info some years ago!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand Keto diets and to people who want to personalize the best Keto diet for their own health or the health of a loved one. The book is detailed and very informative while easy to read. I learned alot from it.
