Quick read

Straight and to the point. That's the way I like my books. It was a quick read, but answered all of my pertinent questions about being on a Low-Carb diet.

Keto Diet Summary

This booklet is a brief overview of how to execute the keto diet eating plan. Very brief and to the point. Will help a beginner get started. Not a scientific explanation of how keto works. It also does not include any recipes but does provide some suggestions for more info.

A good approach for some from my understanding, but experience has shown it is not well suited to me.

Good resource

A friend lost nine pounds in two weeks on this diet without doing exercise. I plan to try it. It seems easy to do and very filling.

Dr Westman explains the reasons for this healthy diet.

[Nicolette]

This is the perfect pocket guide to the Ketogenic Diet. It's basically a what to do and what not to do without a lot of in depth information that can be found elsewhere. I recommend it for someone who has already decided to commit to the diet, not necessarily someone new to learning about the diet.
