The Road to the Stratosphere of Good Health - Perfect companion to The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living: An Expert Guide to Making the Life-saving Benefits of Carbohydrate Restriction Sustainable and Enjoyable! I can only repeat what I've said about the book listed above. Having been interested in the topic of "how does food intake relate to physical health and optimum body chemistry" for more than a quarter of a century now (Yes! 28 years+ to date, to be precise!) both my husband Gordon Kay and I would without hesitation recommend this book (and its twin!) since following the preachings and lessons therein has led to a total change of our eating habits with amazing results to both of us. We thought we were already in "pretty good nick" (something which was confirmed by a full medical with full blood works during the summer of 2013) but we decided to switch to the "ketogenic Diet" for at least 6 months to see what it would do to our bodies and our wellbeing in general. All we can say from a personal point of view - and I do speak for my husband too - is that we have never felt healthier! Considering that we were already on top of the world before, I suppose that's put us now out there, in the stratosphere-of-good-health! Although perhaps a trifle "scientific" for the ordinary lay-person, the book perfectly complements its companion, and for anybody who is interested in a more technical explanation behind it all, the book will be a didactic eye-opener. With all the material that is nowadays availabe to help us on the way to optimum health, the teachings in these books have most certainly had a tremendous impact on our wellbeing and anyone seriously considering a change of lifestyle toward improved wellbeing can only benefit from them. Smiles, Emm :) :) Illustrator of Provost: The Unfinished Manuscript Review: Low carbohydrate diet and athletes - While there are authorative works on low carb approach in general (see Gary Taubes and Loren Cordain in particular), this book fills an important gap for athletes. It is written in an engaging style, with enough science to be convincing but without being too long. It explains why a low-carb approach makes perfect sense even for those undertaking endurance effort, particularly why carbs are not necessary during or after exercise in those adapted to this type of diet. Much advice for athletes in the past advocated switching to carbohydrates in training while reducing their intake in other times. Authors provide practical advice, including specific recipes, on how to personalise a low card diet and ensure adequate intake of micronutrients. A very good read and an invaluable short practical reference. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 211,679 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,065) | | Dimensions | 15.24 x 0.99 x 22.86 cm | | ISBN-10 | 0983490716 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0983490715 | | Item weight | 404 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 172 pages | | Publication date | 1 April 2012 | | Publisher | Beyond Obesity LLC | ## Images ![The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FbEMVbANL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A real eye-opener!

A very good read and an invaluable short practical reference. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A pretty convincing argument. *by C***M on 28 February 2015* This is a very interesting read that will challenge the beliefs that many of us have about diet and fuelling during athletic activity. It is well written and quite an easy read even though there is a reasonable amount of basic science within the book. It has certainly got me thinking about my own diet and fuelling and I will definitely read more into the topic to gain a full understanding of the benefits and potential pitfalls of a low carbohydrate diet. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance - The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living: An Expert Guide to Making the Life-Saving Benefits of Carbohydrate Restriction Sustainable and Enjoyable - New Atkins for a New You: The Ultimate Diet for Shedding Weight and Feeling Great. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/49542139-the-art-and-science-of-low-carbohydrate-performance](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/49542139-the-art-and-science-of-low-carbohydrate-performance) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
