I read this book because it was being offered for free on my kindle unlimited page. And it seems as if every health article you read about these days is about the "Keto Diet". This book provides 5 basic easy to follow principles - cut back on sugar, limit your carbs, exercise, etc. Basically what everyone should be doing on a daily basis. There's nothing in here surprising that you can't find on the internet, but it was well put together for any reader who's looking to be introduced to the Keto I read this book because it was being offered for free on my kindle unlimited page.

All resources I found made it seem like a difficult transition. Low-carb is really hard with our American diet, as even some favorite fruits and veggies are packed with carbs (one banana has more carbs than allowed in one day). Every time I read about it, I felt like the resource was telling me to give up all the potatoes and pasta that I love and substitute it with meat, nuts, and avocado--two of which I don't even like.Dec 28, 2018
A sound beginners book. All the facts, simple reasoning for motivation and simple strategies for making the transition work. Love all the basic no-skills-required recipes. And the tool list for getting things done are helpful.Aug 14, 2018

I’m glad I got this from the library instead of paying money for it. When I read about diet and nutrition, I like to read about the author to see what his or her education and credentials are. There is no author bio at all in this book.

I just don’t feel like this is a credible resource. After a cursory glance through the book, I’m returning it to the library. The recipes are uninspiring and there is an over abundance of “fat bomb†recipes. The few photos in the book appear to be stock photos rather than the actual recipe. I’m really surprised by the number of positive reviews for this book. There are better resources out there. ...moreDec 23, 2018
When they say beginners they mean never having even heard of a ketogenic diet, or low carb diet for that matter. If that's you, then this book is a good place to start. Of course, you could peruse the internet for about an hour and learn the very same information, maybe more, probably more, but it's up to you. With that said, the introductory information is sound, and aligned with what you would find by doing a simple google search. I expected more detail about how keto works, which wasn't When they say beginners they mean never having even heard of a ketogenic diet, or low carb diet for that matter.

With that said, the introductory information is sound, and aligned with what you would find by doing a simple google search. I expected more detail about how keto works, which wasn't there. I wanted some helpful tips, hacks? Very few here. The actual meat (pun intended) of the book took about 20 minutes to read, the rest are recipes and diet plans. I can't speak to those as I haven't tried any, but with the volume included, you're bound to find at least a few things that work for you. Personally, the dessert section seems the most promising, as I was worried I'd have nothing to satiate my sweet tooth. All of that said, for the price, I'm not mad, and if you are google aversive, this isn't a bad place to start. Keep your expectations low, and skip this book altogether if you have even a basic understanding of how keto works, and just google/pinterst some recipes for free. ...moreDec 02, 2018
***I will be back to update after I’ve completed at least 8 weeks of this diet \ meal plans - I start on Jan 1st 2019!!! Based solely on formatting & layout, the book was very easy to understand & visually pleasing. I read through it quickly & have a pretty firm understanding now of ketones, glycogenesis, and other processes the body goes through to use glucose. I look forward to giving this a try!Nov 22, 2017
Changing my life ~ After watching a number of TED talks and other information-packed online videos, I've decided to try the Ketogenic lifestyle to improve my health. I tend to think I'm relatively healthy, but I know I can do better. This is the first book I've bought on the subject and I'm really pleased with it. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, but I read through most of them and they sound great. I liked that the author gave meal plans and grocery lists to get you started.

This makes cooking for keto so easy! I love having this on hand and paging through the easy recipes. The coolest part is the ingredient list is so small for each one! I need that. I don’t like complicated recipes – just give me real food. The first part gives a quick but full explanation and easy-to-read introduction, then you have a 14 day meal plan laid out for you. No guess work! In the back are references, measurement table and a few other resources to use. I’d highly recommend THIS one for This makes cooking for keto so easy!

Many people think carbs are a necessary part of an energetic life. But science shows that a low-carb diet like the ketogenic diet is not only effective at eliminating fat; it also comes with a number of healthy benefits. By moving your body into the metabolic state of ketosis, your body will burn fat for energy and stave off diabetes, heart disease and epilepsy. To make the transition easier, drink lots of water and avoid high-carb temptations.

Definitely for beginners, but gives a nice easy to understand overview of what the ketogenic diet is and why it should work. It is encouraging and makes you want to go out and buy some avocados and bacon and get started. "Complete" might be a stretch, it covers the basics, gives you some meal plans, shopping lists, recipes including some all purpose ones that are nice to have.Sep 06, 2017
Wow! This is a great inforative book. Although I got it free on Kindle Unlimited I went ahead and bought it! It is just what a beginner or even an expert diet plan requires.

The thing I liked best about this book is that it's in easy to follow language. Everything is laid out for you, including shopping lists, recipes and menu plans. I like the way the menus are separated into sections. Though, I wished there were pictures of the actual dishes (maybe not the entire book, but more than what's represented in the book). I like to see what my dish is supposed to look like. All in all I think this a decent book.

The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners: Your Essential Guide to Living the Keto Lifestyle is a reference book about the Ketogenic diet. This is definitely a book for beginners and not so much for seasoned Keto-ers. While I love the simple explanations of getting started with Keto without an overwhelming amount of science behind the diet, I did wish there could be a little bit more of the science.Aug 19, 2019

I have at least 10 keto cookbooks. I love cookbooks. My rule of thumb is that I should be able to find at least 3 good recipes in the book. This one did not disappoint. I absolutely love the Bacon Artichoke Omelette and the Mushroom Frittata. The I made the nut medley granola with without the coconut as I don’t care for it. I used the nuts I had on hand pistachios, almonds, macadamia nuts and sunflower kernels. I absolutely loved it. I will be making it weekly.
