The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners: Your Essential Guide to Living the Keto Lifestyle Kindle Edition

This book gave great learning material, but I wish it had literally laid out a 14-day meal plan, but some great recipes were given

This is very well made and informative. Convenient with easy instructions and a variety of meals. What else does a person need.

This book is a good starting place for diet information. All diets get you watching what you eat and not piging out on chips. It is a bit self contradictory at times saying vegetable oil is bad fat but lard is good, and that peanut oil is bad then has a peanut butter smoothie recipe in back. Almond milk is better than milk but cheese is in almost every recipe which has milk IN it. Yet these high protein diet foods are tasty, and there is good keto research here so it is worth a purchase.

The recipes leave a lot to be desired. Haven't found a keeper yet. However it set us on a good path of discovery for this lifestyle choice

Very informational for Keto diet for beginners, there are great recipes that really taste good and simple. Also, helpful with grocery items needed to have on hand for my diet change.

Great for great for some cooks, but not keto beginners..

Easy recipes great to help me start my weightloiss journey

When I decided to start ketogenics I bought a general book plus three cookbooks. This book was the smallest of the three cookbooks but easily the most useful.Ramos includes basic ketogenics information at the front of the book and tips for eating away from home at the end. In between is a lot of helpful information.The book contains a two week menu for beginners. (Face it, there's a 90% chance you won't follow it to the letter, but it does help set your thinking in the right direction.) For each individual week there's a shopping list which, by itself, will help you adjust your kitchen quite a bit. There are tips on the best sweeteners (Swerve over Splenda), the oils you'll need, produce, canned and bottled items, pantry items, and meats. Something to consider as you go along is that some items, like almond and coconut flour are expensive items to stock up on, but you'll use considerably less than non-keto recipes will use for regular flour. Do what you can afford. Just know that there are some must-have staples like coconut oil and olive oil.The recipes themselves are divided into smoothies and breakfasts, appetizers and snacks, fish and poultry, meats, veggies and sides, desserts, and staples. Each individual recipe gives an overall "keto quotient" (how close it fits the idea balance of fats, carbs, and protein) as well as what each serving contains in calories and the fats, carbs, and protein for those servings. This makes life a lot easier if you are using a phone or tablet app to keep an eating record.I find myself in the kitchen a lot more, but that's a good thing, especially since I'm gaining more energy and endurance from the diet. Since I live alone I've also invested in more plastic bags and containers. When I use one of the recipes I divide the finished product into the number of servings, eat one and bag the rest for the freezer or fridge.Recipes include items like homemade salad dressings and mayonnaise in a good keto balance. Since I'm eating a lot more salad this has been handy to have. I also thought I would miss sweets but I've been using the book to make snacks with stevia products. There are some chocolate recipes using cocoa powder and oils that help stifle any chocolate cravings. The oils often melt at a little above room temperature so I put chocolate pieces in bags in the freezer and granola in the fridge in snack bags.I have yet to find a recipe that didn't turn out well, though my tastebuds like a little more salt. Better to add it in later because you can't take it out once it's cooked. The only bad turnout I had was my mistake, assuming that coconut flour would substitute for almond flour. It won't.There's a wide variety of tastes to help you learn your way through adapting the lifestyle to your tastes.

I made this recipe and it was delicious!

My love wanted to lose 30 pounds. He hated counting calories and refused to believe how much snacking he did between meals. The Atkins diet made him grumpy. Fat-burning soup got old fast. His cousin talked of keto, but it seemed complicated - especially when I am thin and must eat Low Fodmap. On impulse, we picked up The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners. I photocopied the Week 1 shopping list, and off we went. It was like a grocery store treasure hunt. (Oops! It is actually enough food for 4, and there are only 2 of us, no wonder those groceries seemed expensive!) We flipped to the Week 1 Meal Plan. We prepped some foods - cooked bacon, boiled eggs, chopped veggies, made fat bombs, that sort of stuff. We did some calculations and figured out that these recipes were designed exactly for his size and weight. Then life got simple. We knew what we were eating every day. The groceries were in the cupboard. There was no stress in meal planning. There was no calorie counting. He wasn't even hungry! I stopped hating grocery shopping. We learned lots of new ways of cooking. It was like being invited out or having a date every night. He made his own breakfasts, and often mine, too. Lunch was easy and packable. We had snacks in the freezer. Dinner was a pleasure. The weight is gone. We still use the cookbook, which is the only one we've bought since internet was mainstream. It is nearly worn out! What a bargain!Amy Ramos (Bernard), would you please, please make a book like this for my mother, who lives alone and cooks for one? There's nothing wrong with her and millions like her except that she doesn't eat well. (She's low on sodium and iron.) I've hunted everywhere, and I cannot find anything. Your fresh, easy style is perfect for singles and seniors who need to learn modern cooking methods and simple food prep for one! Your shopping lists broken down into departments are a dream. I've hunted. There are many recipe books, but no simple, easy balanced diets for healthy singles with recipes, shopping lists, and meal plans. You are a wizard, and we need you!Oh yeah, I highly recommend The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners. So does my handsome, sexy husband!

Buen libro para empezar keto

Nice product. A little costly if you plan to eat it for a longer period as part of your keto diet

Leicht verständliches Englisch.Tolle Basisinformationen und leckere Rezepte für den Einstieg.Meine Lieblingsrezepte sind Zitronen-Butter-Hähnchen und Paprika-Hähnchen.Morgens gibts oft Eier mit Tomaten und Speck oder Bulletproof-Kaffee.Der Berry-Green-Smoothie wird jetzt aber mal alternativ getestet, um Sodbrennen vorzubeugen.Der Tipp Erytrith als Zuckerersatz zu nutzen ist super.
