Unlearn, rethink the "essential reading" (a pretty good list!) (from Diet Doctor, but not his list)

Impressive list.
Thank you! 0 -
Great info, but I don't know where to start. Any recommendations, anyone? (Damn it - I wish I wasn't a slow reader).

Hmm. Depends what your goal is. ??
For a good intro to LC, I still like Phinney and Volek's books. The more technical ones are Art & Science of Low Carbohydrate Living and Art & Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance. They are loaded with facts and insights. However, the simplified New Atkins for a New You is a great practical, comprehensive intro to keto with sample meal plans.
Wired to Eat, Undoctored, and Fat for Fuel pull together a lot of info and are pretty easy reading. Undoctored is also funny. They'd all be good as audio books.
If diabetes is a concern, Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution is a wall-to-wall gold mine.
Phinney, Volek, and Bernstein are in the eat-your-protein camp and aren't fans of longer fasts.
PS The Dorito Effect is a hilarious and depressing peek below the dirty sheets of the food tech revolution of the last 50+ years.

@Sabine_Stroehm this blog post is a great find--thank you. I exercise for strength and stamina and flexibility and central core stability. I eat whole foods for nutrition and longetivity. I'm 58y without pharma scripts and generally successful at keeping chronic inflammation tendencies from flareups via diet+hydration+sleep+exercise+being out-of-doors. I'm new to LCHF & IF to lose the poundage around my middle that I've had for last 20y. Hence this post is useful as I incorporate LCHF into my healthy-living toolbox. (Down 16lbs since Feb2017).1

Thanks! The Dorito Effect seems to be up my alley.0 -

Bump. Someone may want to add one of these many books to their Christmas List. I'm sure I probably did not count accurately but there's about 102 books on the list for your reading enjoyment.
I may have missed "The Hungry Brain" by Stephan Guyenet but reading it was a game changer for me in regards to gaining insight into some of my excessive tendencies and my food choices regarding them. He's somewhat on the fringe of low carb being more of a whole foods guy.

He sounds right up my alley! Thanks for the suggestion.1 -
Bumping since this is a gold mine of knowledge.
I just bought "Undoctored" and "The Art and Science of Low Carb Living" since my circle of libraries didn't have either one. I decided I'm going to buy more books on amazon or get them from libraries and gain more knowledge.2 -
I enjoyed Undoctored too. Requested it from my local library. Had to wait a bit as it was pretty popular and all copies were out on loan.1

Finished reading Undoctored by Dr. Davis. I call it a must read in my case. Good science.4
