Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ** Revised for 2015 ** Science is making discoveries daily. Are fats good for you? Should you take Vitamin C? Is cholesterol good, bad, or both? Here is what you need to know. I've been actively following a low carb lifestyle since 2004 and a key part of that has been following the science and research that goes on in the field of nutrition. I worked in biotechs for many years and have a fascination with enzymes, nutrients, and the way the human body works. While I am not a doctor, I do keep up to date with the latest discoveries and results. This ebook presents the latest information on how you should strive to keep your body in balance. We start with the basics. Should you take multivitamins, how do generics differ from brand names, and what is critical for a healthy brain. Then we go step by step through the vitamins. Just where do you get vitamin A, B, C, and so on? Which minerals should you pay attention to? Antioxidants get their own chapter as they are so critical. It's important to understand what antioxidants are and how to harness their power. We cover water, why it's so important, and how to hydrate properly. Then we go over oils in depth. Which oils are safe to cook with, and which become dangerous when heated? Which types of oils act as natural scrubbers for your arteries, keeping them clean? All of my low carb books provide appendices which explain how to successfully manage a low carb diet. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions! I frequently update all my low carb books based on your recommendations.
