Sugar shrinks your brain and expands your waistline. While a ketogenic diet solves this problem, it also robs the digestive system of fiber. Naomis program solves this by adding fiber to a ketogenic diet from a whole-foods perspective. Everyone seeking a healthy way to maintain nutritional ketosis should read this book.

This book is dedicated to my grandfather, and brilliant physicist, Jean-Paul Auffray, Ph.D. A man to whom I am eternally grateful. Not only for his love, but for his encouragement. As a little girl, he held my hand and guided me to embrace my curiosity and go off the beaten path, which has led to a better life.
CONTENTS
Health and happiness go hand in hand for so many reasons, and because the foundation of health lies in your diet, its safe to assume that a healthful diet mixed with exercise or movement that you enjoy can help make you happy in so many ways.
How much happier would you be with more energy, better metabolic health markers, and better feelings about your body and how your clothes fit? Better digestion? Its safe to say that most would feel happier!
Oftentimes we overlook the connection between our diet and how it affects our overall happiness, but I urge you to take a deep look into how your current dietary habits may be affecting your happiness day to day.
For thousands upon thousands of individuals, the ketogenic diet has been that one diet or way of eating that has just stuck for them. As a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator that specializes in weight loss, I have worked with so many wonderful clients who started off as keto-curious. They had tried to lose weight or achieve better health through numerous other dietary plans, and they had heard so many talking about keto that they figured: why not give this a try? What have I got to lose? The often initial quick loss of body weight that many experience on keto is, of course, exciting, but it was the surprise of how wonderful they felt that kept them going. And the food? That is one of the best parts!
I always say that there has never been a better time to be following a ketogenic diet! There are a wealth of recipes and wonderful products on the market that make going keto incredibly delicious and incredibly convenient and easy.
I am beyond excited to be a part of High Fiber Keto. Naomi has done something that nobody else has been able to do so eloquently: take real, credible information from the top medical and scientific experts in the world on the topic of the ketogenic diet and assemble it into an easy-to-follow plan that includes delicious recipes and meal and snack suggestions that set you up for success.
As someone with a health and science background, it can be frustrating to see so much confusing information on the Internet, and more often than not it is released with the best of intentions. High Fiber Keto will save you time and effort in getting started on a ketogenic diet, because this book and this program takes the guesswork out of the process.
And whats one of my favorite parts of High Fiber Keto? The fact that this plan incorporates the health promoting, satiating power of fiber! Fiber not only promotes healthy digestion and helps to keep us full and satisfied, but a growing body of research is supporting the idea that prebiotic fiber, like inulin, helps support the tremendous role that our gut health plays in our mental health as well. So whether your goal is health, happiness, or to look and feel better, its safe to say you hold an amazing wealth of knowledge in your hands right now to help you on your journey toward achieving these goals.
I wish you all the health and happiness you desire!

These are a few of the words I would use to describe the amazing women I am so fortunate to know. Their collective strength, persistence, and passion for life can move mountains. They are wives, mothers, daughters, businesswomen, colleagues, friends, and much more. They work hard to never fail anyone they love.
