The Easy 5-Ingredient Ketogenic Diet Cookbook: Low-Carb, High-Fat Recipes for Busy People on the Keto Diet

We have tried most of the recipes in this book and they are phenomenal. I'm not a veggie lover but because I wanted to be healthier I've decided to start using them in my foods more often. Anyway this one has some but not an over abundance of it. It has helped me so much to stay on Keto because it gave me the recipes and I didn't have to think about counting carbs, fat and protein which is always my downfall when dieting. I'm simply not into keeping up with every little thing I put in my mouth. With this book I've been able to manage dinners by the week (I grocery shop weekly) and only add the things to my grocery list that I need. It helps me to stay out of isles I don't need to go in. And recently with Walmarts pick up option it makes it even easier for me not to wander. The only issue I have is an issue I seem to have with all of these books. There are no side dishes. Just main dishes, salads and deserts. I mean I love meat and salads but can I get some low carb side dishes other than salads. BUT, I can honestly say some of the dishes in this book can be easily used as sides, like the roasted brussel sprouts and bacon. Can't believe I just said that, brussel sprouts? In MY mouth? Who knew! Other than that it was super easy to read, easy to follow, the ingredients weren't ridiculously expensive once u got thru the initial investment( there were things I never used or bought and were fairly expensive like the himalayan salt, toasted sesame oils, coconut and almond flours, ghee etc) it tends to save u a bit of money because a lot of the recipes have some of the same ingredients. I've been able to build a list of different dinners and lunches for my husband (who I'm worried about being on Keto since he is a skinny man who in no way needs to lose weight). U really can't go wrong with this one

Great value and worth buying. It has helped me with easy recipes. Shipped fast. I would recommend to others.

The book has some inspiring and easy to make recipes. Great for preventing a keto menu rut. It also helps make meal planning easier. My only complaint would be the lack of photos in the book. The cover is the money shot and there are a few more photos but not many. I wish they had more photos to draw you in.

Apparently, I'm one of those metabolically resistant people that takes just a little bit longer to adjust to a ketogenic diet. I needed easy days when I was first starting and occasionally I still need them because I'm still adjusting to the diet. I've only been on it for about a month and I still have days where I feel incredibly tired and I'm still trying to get the hang of what my macros need to be for somebody with insulin resistance and high cortisol levels. This book can really help people who are just tired and don't really have the energy to meal prep using recipes that have 15 or 20 ingredients. A lot of the recipes are super easy and they're delicious. They are mostly all ingredients that you can find locally no matter where you live. Many are budget friendly. I also found the even if you don't follow the recipes exactly, this is more about giving you ideas for ways that you can pair foods together so you don't get bored while still keeping it easy. You can get some ideas on what flavors would work together so that you don't give up from boredom of just eating eggs and avocado everyday. I also like that the author often includes the brand names of certain key ingredients that she uses and that takes some of the stress out of grocery shopping. For instance, I don't want to be standing in the grocery store and reviewing the nutrition facts on every pizza sauce in the store to try to find the lowest carb one. She tells you which brand she uses and if your local grocers don't have it, you can always look to see if Amazon has it. You don't have to waste your time hunting around for one that tastes good and has the right carb counts. Not all of us live close to stores that carry endless options for low carb living so I like the simple ingredient lists and I like that she lists the name brands so that if you can't find them, you at least know what to order.

There number and variety of recipes in this book is impressive. Admittedly, I haven't made many since the average carb amount per serving is too high for me. I strive for total carbs under 20g per day and with many of the recipe servings having 9g of carbs or higher, it doesn't seem like I'm going to be having many of these.

I started my mother on keto. She is in her seventies and hates to cook. I bought her a Ninja Air Fryer and a Breville Convection Oven to get her off of convenience foods. She loves both items and they allow her to easily prepare whole foods. But, bacon and eggs, roast chicken or pork get dull after a while. I searched through a lot of keto books and landed on this one. Here is why: 1) This is written by a chef, not some YouTuber or influencer who is doing a print-on-demand book. 2) Five ingredients. My mother can handle that. 3) Whole foods. Many keto books are demanding you buy agar agar, xylitol, all kinds of expensive chemicals. Yes, she did get liquid stevia for this, but the recipes limit you to whole foods, which is important. 4) Macros listed. She can see how much protein, fat and carbs are in a recipe. She does live alone, so a recipe serving four does end up with a lot of leftovers, but this has worked out well and she loves many of the recipes. She finds them easy to follow. Win-win.

I love how easy this book is because it’s quick and the food is delicious.

Eight chapters. Information about ketogenic diets along with recipes. Could use a few more pictures of complete meals, helps me see what it should look like. It’s got smoothie, main course and sauces, etc. Pay attention depending on the form of Ketogenic you are going for, some recipe information show net carbs and total separately.

No me gusto que el libro me llegó roto

Sehr schöne Rezepte, ich habe schon einiges nachgekocht. Alles sehr einfach und schnell nach der Arbeit zu machen. Empfehlung. Ich wünschte im Intro hätte mehr über die verschiedenen Öle gestanden. Ich habe mir jetzt erst 10 Tage nach Kauf MCT Öl gekauft. Ein "Basics" Intro wäre super gewesen. Aber Rezepte super. Empfehlung!

Not much to it, some basic recipes which are easily found on the internet

Recipes are easy to make and utilize common ingredients. Lost 7 kgm in weight so far and have had delicious filling meals.
