Keto is real, this book is not
While there MIGHT be some useful information in this book, they've DEFINITELY, gotten so much wrong I wouldn't trust it.

I have successfully used the keto diet before, and was looking for some additional books, mostly for more recipes.

This book though, is worthless. Someone pasted together a bunch of information, some correct, some completely wrong: the author claimed you should AVOID MILK AS a HIGH CARB FOOD!! They even digress into blood cholesterol levels, show more which aren't necessary important to the keto diet, and they got HDL & LDL confused (not knowing which one was the 'bad' cholesterol)!

Also, much information is missing, or not usable. For examples: shopping lists that were missing entirely, to a "weekly" shopping list that simply added up the basic ingredients of one meal plan, with NO relation to how groceries are bought!! Example: 1/2 bag shredded cabbage (a 1/2 cabbage you can get, but that isn't what is written)

Finally, the recipes section is an absolute joke. Recipes listed are incomplete in many cases and useless, in that they are first set in different quantities for each recipe, serving anywhere from 2 to 8 persons. Standard for a diet would be to give recipes that serve 2 portions (eat one, save one), and you can multiply if needed. show less
