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

Good

Book is good, but results questionable.

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.

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

I am a ten year cancer survivor and have followed a ketogenic diet for the past seven years. I closely follow the research and resources on ketogenic diets for cancer therapy currently available. This new book is, without a doubt, the best one for patients. It is readable and personal, yet it includes specific details for using the diet with conventional treatment that have been lacking in earlier books on the subject. Miriam Kalamian strikes a good balance explaining the complex science behind how diet can impact cancer’s progression and be used therapeutically without overwhelming biochemistry or over promising its potential. She outlines the basic diet protocol and easy ways to ramp up to a ketogenic diet, while still providing important details about using the diet with certain types of cancer or chemotherapy. You will learn how to work with your cancer team to create a personalized diet plan that fits into the overall treatment plan. There is misinformation about ketogenic plans on the internet now; why this author’s extensive clinical experience and skill is so valuable to the diet’s application with cancer. Her references to studies, articles and the resource list are also helpful for readers who want to explore further. Kalamian’s website DietaryTherapies provides an introduction to the topic and her family’s story; it is a good preview to her writing and the information in the book. Keto for Cancer is the book I have wanted all these years, it is a must read for anyone in the cancer community.

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.

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!
