The Fast 800 Keto Recipe Book: Delicious low-carb recipes, for rapid weight loss and long-term health

I was looking forward to getting more set menus under 800 calories daily, but found the majority of daily menus are more like 950 to 1000 calories a day. I can manage the measurements in grams etc. Some or more are for 1 or 2 servings, but some are for more and that puts me off, because I have to spend time diving up portions to make it work for 2. Cooking from this book has some great choices of food and I have enjoyed what I have cooked, but I hate working around the problems. On a diet the person in charge of cooking has to work more hours than they want to making meals and I don’t enjoy this part. I just want to pick a day and follow it through.

Love this cook book, slowly working my way thru it. What i dont like about it is having to convert from C to F. All descriptions are C, metric. Other than that (i just took a few minutes and printed out a conversion chart i taped to the inside front cover) highly reccomend it!!!

The nutritional values provided are calories, protein & carbs - fiber isn’t listed, nor is sugar. Many of the recipes show high carbs, but not total carbs. It’s fine if you’re just looking for calories- but if you are calculating or keeping track of you actual carb intake, it falls way short of allowing you to make an informed decision as whether the recipe fits in your daily carb count. I find that very disappointing from a book listed as Keto & written for a Keto diet.

Font too small and unchangeable make for a very cumbersome, clunky, backwards experience. Shame, because the content deserves much better.

Many of the recipes look delicious, but with my kale/cabbage and shellfish/shrimp allergies, about half of them require substitutions. It was fun translating British names for food into American (aubergine/eggplant, courgette/zucchini, rocket/arugula, Puy lentils/green lentils, mangetout/snow peas).

The cover says Keto but when you read the introduction it says "Based on low carb Mediterranean-style way of eating...". Recipes with fruits like banana and figs or recipes with wholegrain flour, or side of rice is not keto.

I've found all of Dr Clare Baileys recipe books delicious and moorish. This is another one to my collection. She never lets you down. Inspiring and full of photos.

J'ai essayé plusieurs recettes. Je suis satisfaite de mon achat. Les recettes ne sont pas toujours Keto, mais on peut les adapter selon notre goût.

I ordered this book in anticipation of getting good ideas for continuing with the keto plan I have been following. Unfortunately, a good portion of the recipes contain things that are not keto like fruit, dates, seeds and nuts, beans so I am really disappointed and feel cheated. I can't use a lot of the recipes and it also reminds you every day of what you're not allowed to have because you see these delicious meals and feel even more sorry for yourself because you can't have them. What a con. I have bought every book of Michael Mosley and Claire Mosley and when I saw Keto I thought "great!!" But I couldn't have been more wrong.

I own the other 2 Recipe books and was excited to get hold of this one as I prefer to have lower carb diet.I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the other two recipes books. Somehow it gives me the vibe that it was put together quickly without too much thought. As mentioned in other reviews, there is no indication of fat or fibre content for the recipes (the other 2 books had them). Based on the recommended 1-week meal plan (with meat), the shopping list I put together had nearly 80 unique items! Seems a lot and also a lot is wastage as some ingredients are only used once. One improvement is that the page number of the recipe is listed on the meal plan (unlike the blue book). I will be cooking the meals in the coming weeks. Hope it tastes as good as the recipes from the blue book.
