In The Case for Keto<\/em>, his latest, he consolidates his learning into a single concise and comprehensive argument. Why does keto work? And how did the authorities get it so wrong for so long?

The book is both a definitive explanation of the pathogenesis and mechanisms of insulin resistance and a practical manual for improving one\u2019s own health (hint: cut the carbs!).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr. Bernstein\u2019s Diabetes Solution<\/em>\u00a0by Dr. Richard Bernstein<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Dr.Pretty much the bible of diabetes care, this doorstopper is required reading for anyone ready to take their diabetes management\u2014Type 1 or Type 2\u2014to the next level. No book has influenced the ASweetLife philosophy more. Dr. Bernstein started on his own keto diet when such a thing was practically unheard of.
