New in paperback, from one of the world's foremost alternative health authorities: a guide to using time-restricted eating and ketogenic principles to promote weight loss, treat disease, and optimize well-being.

"You can always trust Dr. Joseph Mercola to be on the cutting edge! Follow this enjoyable read to do keto and fasting the right way, and avoid the common pitfalls, many of which will shock you."
-- Steven R. Gundry, M.D., New York Times best-selling author of The Plant Paradox series; Medical Director, The International Heart and Lung Institute

We all know that food is medicine--yet going without food is one of the single best things you can do for your health. Short, doable fasts, when strategically timed, are an incredibly powerful metabolic intervention, dovetailing perfectly with a ketogenic diet to activate your body's fat-burning mode. This in turn can ward off insulin resistance, reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, optimize brain function, prevent neurological problems, support weight loss, and more.
In this in-depth yet accessible guide, now available in paperback, New York Times best-selling author Dr. Joseph Mercola explores the profound health benefits that result when ketogenic living and well-planned fasting are combined. Topics include:
  • How our food is making us sick and what we can do about it
  • The physiology and mechanisms of fasting, including stem cell activation
  • How the cyclical ketogenic diet--with fasting included--differs from the conventional keto diet
  • How fasting works and how safe it is for you
  • How regular one-day fasts support fat burning and detoxification while minimizing hunger and side effects
  • How to monitor your progress with lab tests
  • And much more
  • KetoFast combines the insulin-lowering effect of the ketogenic diet with the time-tested healing power of fasting. This revolutionary approach promises to deliver unprecedented health benefits.”
    — Jason Fung, M.D. , author of The Complete Guide to Fasting and The Obesity Code

    “As the science underlying ketosis and fasting progresses, you can always trust Dr. Joseph Mercola to be on the cutting edge! Follow this enjoyable read to do keto and fasting the right way, and avoid the common pitfalls, many of which will shock you.”
    — Steven R. Gundry, M.D., New York Times best-selling author of The Plant Paradox Series; Medical Director, The International Heart and Lung Institute

    “Dr. Mercola has done it again. Tapping into the latest research on fasting and ketogenic diets, he has crafted an easy-to-understand, efficient, and highly effective program that can deliver life-changing results.”
    — Mark Sisson, author of the New York Times bestseller Keto Reset Diet and founder of Primal Kitchen foods

    KetoFast provides a well-researched, practical approach to safely produce the metabolic flexibility needed to improve health and free a person from obesity, diabetes, and other disorders of metabolism.”
    — Michael T. Murray, N.D., co-author of The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine

    “It’s sobering to think that the simple timing and composition of our food could, if broadly adopted, change the course of millions of lives. KetoFast is a practical guide to reclaiming your metabolic health.”
    — Travis Christofferson, author of Tripping Over the Truth: How the Metabolic Theory of Cancer Is Overturning One of Medicine’s Most Entrenched Paradigms

    KetoFast provides a carefully considered program of fasting and feeding that, based on recent research, should optimize your metabolic health. Presented in terms any layperson can follow, this book can help you navigate the complex interconnected concepts of fasting, time-restricted feeding, circadian cycles, and ketogenic diets.”
    — Aaron Davidson, creator of Cronometer, an accurate and free online tool to track nutrients and provide detailed analysis of what you’re eating

    “With the introduction of intermittent fasting and the current medical research proving its efficacy, a whole new spectrum of healing is now available. Dr. Mercola has long been a leader in educating the public about the benefits of intermittent fasting, and his new book, KetoFast, has provided an important link into the art of ‘scientific fasting’ and how to fast safely in a toxic world. Highly recommended.”
    — Jim Ehmke, clinical nutritionist
