Keto Diet: Your 30-Day Plan to Lose Weight, Balance Hormones, Boost Brain Health, and Reverse Disease Kindle Edition

I was super excited to get Keto Diet and I preordered it and got it the day it came out. I've been following Keto for the past year with moderate success. I follow Dr. Axe on social media and I genuinely thought he would offer deeper insight and help me find other ways to be successful. I tore through the book with excitement. But in the end I was disappointed. I know he is selling his book. Don't need to remind me every other page about Your Keto Diet book. I bought it already. He is offering pointers from healing naturally, but his prescriptions in here are way to expensive for my income. So, he caters to people who can afford all organic ingredients and supplements. No issue there. I just can't sustain that level even for 30 days. But good ideas and tips. I will take the tips I can use and keep following my poor man Keto diet sources. He does provide some good recipes that I will try, but I will stick with my other craveable Keto recipes in the meantime. So, the take away from me: just know the ingredients he pushes are all organic and not everyone else's Keto plan. I can't afford what he says I should do to follow this program. He says the bacon I love isn't ideal and he pushes turkey bacon or "beef" bacon. I have never heard of beef bacon and haven't found it in any store yet. He does make good sense as far as I can tell and is in line and maybe healthier then other Keto programs. As for me and my house, we'll glean what we can and make do with what we can actually find and afford.

I'm a big fan of Dr. Axe and his newest book Keto Diet doesn't disappoint. It's chockful of information and medical studies. I've read some other books on Keto and this one takes the cake. I also love how it's not all about weight loss (though it is a big part of it) but he discusses keto's benefit for brain health, hormones, and cancer. He also shares various plan options for your needs whether you are a vegan or battling cancer. I also liked there is a section on intermittent fasting and how it works well with keto. At the end of the book, he talks about keto cycling which I have heard both sides from different sources. I think it's a good plan for the long haul. I don't know if cycling carbs twice a week will work for everyone. I think for me it will end up in disaster lol. Maybe twice a month.... I think everyone will be different with that.I am going to start his plan in March and I will update with how it goes. BTW I have PCOS so I am really curious to see how it helps.Now, why 4 stars instead of 5.... If I could I would give 4.5 stars but Amazon doesn't allow that. In his recipes especially the smoothies he recommends his keto collagen, keto protein powder, bone broth power etc. That's great and all but what if we can't afford it, or don't like it, or we run out. It would have been nice if he would give us another option where we don't have to buy a blend or what happens if we are out. Like if he could have written next to it "or 2 tablespoons of college and 1 tablespoon of MTC oil." <--- that's just a random example don't take that to heart! That's my only real issue with the book. Otherwise, it's a fantastic book! Thank you, Dr. Axe!! God Bless :D

If you think keto dieting is about eating lots and lots of any type of fat, and little else, Dr. Axe will set you straight. According to Axe, you should be eating vegetables three times a day. Fresh, organic vegetables, and lots of them! Dr. Axe also recommends cyclical keto dieting for the long run, which seems healthy and far more doable than never eating carbs again.The reason I didn't give the book five stars is that it sets such a high standard, and calls for so many unrecognizable and difficult to find foods that a person could give up. I'm sure I could spend hundreds of dollars on herbs, strange foods, and supplements (sold by Dr. Axe), and most of them would sit on my shelf. I'm already very health conscious, and I find it overwhelming. Your average person isn't going to wake up Monday and be able to follow this to a T.Great things to know, but like a firehose. I hope people read this book and make changes to their diets and lifestyles, and are not discouraged by page after page about herbs and supplements and rules.

I first “met” Dr. Josh Axe through his Ancient Nutrition line! Then I became aware of his webpage and Instagram account! Both are extremely helpful as they focus on overall health: mind, body and spirit! Last week, I listed to Dr. Axe on the Ultimate Health Podcast. It was one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to. So much so that I’ve listened to it three times and sent it to many people! Dr. Axe shared a lot of what is in this book. He has a positive, holistic approach to health and life and it’s contagious! This book is powerful because it’s about “clean” Keto and gives many reasons why a Keto Diet can be advantageous for optimal health! I am grateful for his approach because he also mentions the importance of a spiritual routine and how that impacts stress levels and life. I appreciate that he keeps in mind that everyone is different and needs different plans based on their goals and health needs. He provides and explains multiple plans with sample menus for people who are looking to lose weight and improve their health, people who are looking to fast, people who choose a vegan diet, a cancer plan and my fave chapter, “Forever Keto Cycling Plan”. This is my favorite chapter because it addresses how to actually sustain Keto to promote long term success. He shares Chelsea’s (his wife) experience and also shares how his brother handles carb cycling! With all that said, I am probably most impressed by the wonderful recipes that are EASY to make and follow! I can’t wait to make the Keto pancakes or the slow cooker beef and broccoli.Finally, I always appreciate an approach that’s honest, focused on overall health and written in a way that’s easy to understand! Dr. Axe’s book is genuine and engaging because he refers to himself, family members and friends as examples which helps readers connect and better understand how it may work for them!

Recipes don’t contain nutritional info?!?! No carb info. No calorie count. Nothing. Very disappointing.

Not what I thought it was, and not really for UK audience with ingredients hard to come by or impossible to get. More reading than receipe and cures for cancer which is dangerous.

I really like the Axe man’s perspective on Keto. He’s explained about clean (vs dirty) keto, that I’d not been exposed to before. I also like the fact that he’s explained a Vegan version of the diet. When you also read about the herbs and supplements I think this is a very comprehensive guide to a healthy way of eating that’s not overly laboured.

I've done the Keto diet for a couple of months now, but found much better content online for free than is in this book.

Clearly Dr Axe knows his stuff and is a loyal following. There is good stuff about Keto BUT he takes it far beyond Keto and preaches about supplements and super foods that have health benefits regardless of whether you are doing Keto or not. This is at the detriment of the keto message and distracts from practical day to day aspects of the diet. There is quite a lot of repetition about the supplements and superfoods. You have to read around a lot of this book if you’re just after simple guide to getting into Keto.

Lot of reading just wanted the plan
