The keto diet (also known as ketogenic diet, low carb diet and LCHF diet) is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that shares many similarities with the Atkins and low-carb diets. Maintaining this diet is a great tool for weight loss. More importantly though, according to an increasing number of studies, it helps reduce risk factors for diabetes, heart diseases, stroke, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, and more. On the keto diet, your body enters a metabolic state called ketosis. While in ketosis your body is using ketone bodies for energy instead of glucose.

For anyone looking to lose weight, become healthier, improve and stabilize their daily energy levels, and understand and benefits of the complex nutritional sciences of the keto diet, this book has it all.

A good review to get back into Keto. Very easy to read and understand.

[Barbara K. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Has its strong points and weak points. Once again, there is no bibliography regarding the scientific information offered here. That would be really nice! But this book went further than Keto Basics in that it went into combining a ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting, which I had already decided to try on my own. This is loaded with information on that and other aspects of this eating plan, but when it came to recipes it sort of fell flat for me. Some of the instructions were bungled, many called for special ingredients I have no idea where to find, and most had lots of dairy. Still, I'm very happy with this book. And, in fact, after reading this and Keto Basics and then looking at some far inferior books that seemed to follow fads, food conspiracy theories, and just plain silliness in the writing styles, I'm going to raise my rating of both books to 4.5 stars rounded to 5. Highly recommended, for anyone interested in a ketogenic diet or lifestyle.

I wanted to read this to add to my keto research and make sure there was nothing I was missing. I did not find it as comprehensive as I had hoped but was a good reinforcement. The main message that I heard loud and clear was: DRINK WATER 🤪

Great book of the keto diet for beginners.

I found this book very informative. I also like the recipes included. I borrowed it from the library, but ended up buying a copy to have the information to refer back to, while I am following the keto diet.

I’ve been eating this way for years, but for the past year in a half not following as well. This was a great reminder of why I ate this way for so long. This book is great for those who don’t know a lot about Keto and the first steps to take!

Comprehensive guide to all things keto.

[Debbi]

Very informative. Since my doc suggested the diet for me, I chose this to help get me started. Lots of detail about the way the diet works, things to avoid, what to expect, etc.

Easy to understand and very good information.

Didn’t really read, only skimmed, but it was helpful.

[Cheryl Spinelli · Rating 5 out of 5]

Enough info to get you started or to refresh. I enjoyed, I liked, I’d recommend. The recipes at the end are perfect, tried and true.

[Sandra McGarry · Rating 2 out of 5]

Disappointed. I was expecting more of a cookbook with recipes.

[Gallusman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall good but some important mistakes. Beware.

[Robert Perry · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is not a book for dummies. No. I felt like a dummy trying to understand it. There are better, simpler keto books out there. Find one.

[Travis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Standard guide for "dummies." Gives the essential information in a clear and easy way to understand. Provides lots of recipes for people to get started.

[Yvonne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book with lots of information & some new recipes for me to try.

[Nicole · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book had everything I needed to start my keto journey. I thought I knew what Keto was about but I did not. This book was easy to read, interesting and went into detail about peer reviewed journal articles and scientific research studies. It is just the right level of information.

[Chrissy Shea Adams]

This was a good book to learn the basics of a Keto lifestyle. It provides a few recipes at the end in multiple categories so this is useful as a starting point.
