I am particularly interested in #12

The truth with facts needs to be told. I have no objections to any of the lies listed, as these are things some of us have learned as we travel this journey. These are myths that sometimes make their ways into the mainstream due to people publishing their N=1 experiences AND some "experts" who tout fat consumption over everything else (bullet-proof coffee, anyone?) without checking the facts. While I'm a big proponent of what today is called the ketogenic diet based on how I've adapted it from personal experiences, my adaptation has been done over the years through trial and error. I'm aware that the mere term "ketogenic diet" is not that different from what is being called a "Mediterranean diet" or a "plant-based diet." There are no defining, factual health-based guidelines. I could eat pasta and tomato sauce all day, and I would be eating a Mediterranean and plant-based diet, but I would be back into an unhealthy, insulin-resistant state. I'm hoping in the book Marty can clarify what constitutes a healthy ketogenic approach by refuting the myths that tend to cloud our perceptions and encouraging the practices that lead to success.
