Rate this book
Think you’re doing “all the right things” to lose fat on keto and it’s not working? You're not alone! The good news is, it’s easy to get the scale moving again with just a few simple tips. In The Stall Slayer, keto nutritionist Amy Berger walks you through the most common roadblocks to fat loss on a ketogenic or low-carb diet...and what to do about them. Maybe you're eating more carbs than you realize. Chapter 4 will teach you how to get away from "carb creep." Or maybe you're overdoing the fat. Did you know it’s possible to eat too much fat on keto if your goal is to lose body fat? Yes! Chapter 5 will explain why even though this is a high-fat diet, pouring unlimited butter and oil on your food isn’t a winning strategy if you’re already having a hard time tapping into stored body fat. And what about thyroid function? Undiagnosed or improperly treated hypothyroidism can be a huge obstacles to fat loss, no matter how disciplined you are with diet and exercise. There's an entire chapter devoted to walking you through the right tests to get and how to navigate the complicated world of thyroid medication. Plus...Do you have to worry about macros? Can you drink alcohol and still lose weight on keto? Do you need to measure ketones? Is intermittent fasting required? What if you're taking medications that make you gain weight? In The Stall Slayer, Amy answers all those questions and more. She explains the science in plain English, busts myths with humor and wit, and arms you with the tools you need to break your fat loss stall. If you're struggling to drop unwanted pounds despite being keto-faithful, this is the book you need!

Easy to read discussion on why a person may not be having success on a keto diet. I like Amy Berger's pragmatic writing style and her tough love.

I would recommend this book to anyone not seeing the kind of results they hoped for when doing keto.

I'm not someone who normally writes reviews but I had to for this book. It's a quick read but very readable with a no nonsense to keto roadblocks. I've been struggling with my weight and nothing has been working including keto. I've read other books, watched the YouTube videos, and thought that I was doing everything correctly but continued to gain weight. After reading this book, and putting the author's tips in place, I actually lost a pound the first day (this never happens to me). It's simple and actionable. I'm so glad that I found and read this book!
