Resources for Further Research and Reading

Updated February 22, 2021

I have the found the resources below to be of great value in learning about the traditional and scientific evidence which supports a ketogenic diet. I've read all of the books several times over, bought them for loved ones and friends, and I recommend all of these books and websites without reservation to anyone wanting to learn more about low carbohydrate diets in general.
