The Essential Keto Diet for Beginners #2020: 5-Ingredient Affordable, Quick & Easy Ketogenic Recipes | Lose Weight, Cut Cholesterol & Reverse Diabetes | 30-Day Keto Meal Plan

This book is AWESOME!!! I've been on Keto for a while now, most recipe's I've found online have lots of ingredients to make 1 dish, this book has simple recipes with a few ingredients making it easier to make. Also, the intro of the book breaks down what a "Keto Diet" is and how it works. Which I thought was great! Simple words that explain step by step on what to do to succeed and what to expect when doing Keto.

Bad choice! Not clear on different amounts of food in grams consumption. Recipes are too repetitive. Some are completely lacking even list of ingredients. I would not recommend this book! Serving sizes way wrong on some recipes and totals on food amounts do not add up!

Item was as described

I think the cookbook is worth what I paid for it. I would have paid four times as much probably if it had actual pictures incorporated into the cookbook that the author actually made themselves. The author may have indeed made the recipes but I would have liked to have seen them adjacent to the actual recipe in the cookbook. The front and back cover has pictures of recipes that are in the cookbook however I would have liked a little inset on each picture with the page number of the recipe that goes with the picture. For the price I think this is worth it. It goes into a nice explanation of what the keto diet is as well as the different versions of Keto, what ketogenesis is, things to look out for, Etc. It's well-written in that aspect. I think it would make a great hand out for a diet doctor to give to new patients looking to do the keto diet.

I needed to lower my BMI so I got this book and did it! I am an experienced cook and found the recipes very adaptable. As a retired librarian I made an index. Easily done on computer. If you feel you need one and aren't computer savvy let your kids do it. I think they come into the world now knowing how to use one.

To say I was disappointed in this book would be a gross understatement. If I could give it less than a 1 Star Rating, I would do so. To begin with, the title is extremely misleading....this is not easy to follow, even for an experienced cook because the menus and instructions are so lacking. For instance, it very clearly states in the introduction to the Meal Plan that it is designed for ONE person, then ingredients call for "12 eggs" in the recipe for "Eggs On The Go", or "8 eggs" for "Bacon and Eggs", or the "Easy Slider" that calls for 1 lb. of ground beef., the recipe for an "Almond Crusty" on Page 85 that has you mix almond flour, melted butter, raw eggs and salt, roll it out to 1/4" thickness and SERVE! No mention of any cooking or baking method at all! SERVE raw eggs! There are items missing entirely from the ingredient list yet included in the Instructions, leaving the reader with no idea what the amount might be. This happens frequently. Not only is this a terrible instructional manual for a Keto Diet, the recipes border on insanity and being downright dangerous (consuming raw eggs???). This book went directly to my recycle bin, where at least it will do some good!

For special diets like keto, it would be easier if there were recipes for 1 serving. Easier to double or other increases but very hard to cut the recipes down. Especially for a beginner.

I am glad this was the first keto book i bought because its really simple to use. I like how the recipes were simple and not over the top with a bunch of ingredients that are hard to find. Most of these ingredients you already have.

Great recipe ideas

Great book for those looking to get into eating the keto diet. Great recipes and tips for how to start this new lifestyle.

Really helpful, in healthy eating

The recipes are good, but the book has lots of mistakes, they repeated some ingredients and instructions under different name recipes that don’t match... misspellings, some recipes are not complete it, so I had to finish it by myself. Think the designer made some mistakes and no one checked it out.

I really like how it explains KetoHistory, Ketosis, How To Achieve Ketosis and much, much more. The recipes are easy to make and quite a few ingredients you have in your cupboards or to find ingredients in a regular grocery store and you do not have to go to any speciality food store.. I just wish there were pictures but that's ok coz I know its not the pictures that make the book but the good recipes. I would buy this cook book again.
