Superfuel: Ketogenic Keys to Unlock the Secrets of Good Fats, Bad Fats, and Great Health Reviews


  • Scott Jiles

    Big Tobacco meets Big Vegetable Oil. Very interesting. I will never look at an ingredients label the same way again.

  • Jack

    rehash of a million other books

  • Joao Reis

    Unfortunately, the book turned out to be a SOLUTION cures all diseases in the GALAXY story. What started to be a very educational and entertaining lesson of Fats, their biochemistry and history in our society, turned out to be a winner takes all. The author was careful to analyse studies against the Omega 3 advantages ideas but then spend the rest of the book making claims. I truly believe Omega 3 is essential to our health, but this book did not help to reinforce my belief.
    I gave it 2 stars because of its educational content.

  • Shelley Krupa

    If you're looking for a book that helps explain how to make sense of the ketogenic way of life, this book is great. I enjoy how easy it is to understand the complexities of the diet and how fats and salt make a huge difference. I wish every person struggling with diabetes, HTN, early Alzheimer's, etc.
    would be given this book. I also wish every family practitioner had it as a required reading. I'm glad I read it when I first started the journey to keto eating if I hadn't I feel like I may have given up.

  • Neil

    A fairly dense book with a lot of detail about dietary fat in all its permutations. Great advice, much of it covered in other recent reviews of the same ilk. I have been following much of these directions for some time now, after its reading, shall be adding ground flaxseed and krill oil to my usual routine. Lots of references supplied for those inclined.

  • عمر الحمادي

    استطيع القول أن هذا الكتاب أنصف الدهون وأخرجها من التصنيف السلبي الذي وضع جميع أنواعها في سلة واحدة... رغم أن بعض ما ورد في الكتاب لم يتم اثباته بالشكل الكافي ولم يتم تضمنيه في الارشادات الصحية بعد، إلا أنه من الممكن أن يكون مفتاحاً لتصحيح كثير من افتراضاتنا السابقة حول الدهون بسبب أفكار سابقة ثبت عدم دقتها وصحتها ومازال البعض يتشبث بها.

  • Cindy

    Although very detailed oriented, Dr. Dinicolantonio does lay out an understandable and easy to follow approach to changing your diet for the better. Highly recommend this.

  • Firasat Siddiqui

    Too technical... :P But what I gathered from this was Omega 3 fat > Omega 6 fat.

  • Kamal Hwail

    The most comprehensive guide to using fats as medicine to heal from chronic disease.

  • Stacy

    Good reminders - nothing new. Don’t eat seed oils. Read labels. Eat high quality meat and fish. Don’t eat processed foods.

  • Jill Bowman

    If you’ve read any books about health written by ‘the usual keto suspects’ in the past few years you have probably read most of this book. Though there’s quite a bit of info about the smaller elements of nutrition the entire book can be summed up as “Stop Eating Vegetable/Seed Oil”.
    Look at ingredients. Don’t eat processed foods. Don’t worry about consuming good, healthy animal or fruit (olive, avocado) fats.
    Though I didn’t find much I didn’t already know, it was a nice reminder that I’ve gotten to where I aimed for nearly 5 years ago now.

  • Linda Yeatts

    Very interesting indeed. Explains a lot and generates many questions.
