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

This book has made the ketogenic diet doable for us, having been put off by other recipe books. It is so easy to use and the author has put helpful conversion charts at the back of the book for Fahrenheit to Centigrade, liquids & weights and for converting cups and spoons, though I’ve bought a set of cups as they are so quick to use!The recipes themselves are fast to prepare and delicious to eat and she gives suggestions for alternative ingredients as well. All the nutritional information is given at the end of each recipe. The explanations and directions are clear and straight forward and the tips are helpful. Yes, she does mention US brands, but they are only a suggestion. There are plenty of desserts too, which makes this diet a joy. You may need to look up any unfamiliar names, such as zucchini (aka courgettes) as is the norm with US books, but this doesn’t distract from the book. Equipment wise, you will need a blender of some sort or a food processor, as the ingredients need binding together.I’m so pleased with the Kindle version, that I’m going to buy the paperback version too. I can’t recommend this book enough and no, I have don’t connection with the author, just a happy tummy! :)

So far so good. Recipes have been simple and easy to make as well as tasty. Wish there were pictures though!!

This book is brilliant and so useful. It features a really good selection of tasty recipes for all meals and occasions. By containing only 5 ingredients to a recipe - plus seasonings - they are so easy, quick and convenient to make. The author has been thoughtful enough to put a very useful measurement conversion at the back including cups, imperial and metric. She has also included the amount of carbs, fat, calories, fibre and protein for every recipe. The reviewers who think a lot of the ingredients cannot be obtained in Britain, either lead very sheltered lives, have not actually looked at the recipes or are making presumptions! A mere handful of ingredients were unfamiliar to me but it is usually obvious what they are or they can be found on the internet. Just one word of caution, in some recipes the amount of the carbs per portion are a very high if you are trying to keep to 20g of carbs a day. However, this is a really good recipe book whether you are following a keto diet or not. I recommend it.

Recipes are ok, but very disappointing as there are no pictures of any of the recipes.

It arrived quickly, a good quality book & EASY to Follow the Recipes.The 'content' menu is easy to follow & clearly marked throughout the book.There's a great 'section one' with intro to keto, about Keto how it works etc, foods to eat foods to avoid, equipment, pantry essentials. It's a great section⭐The Recipes are simple, clearly marked out & with easy to get ingredients! UK friendly too. Simple measurements & Carbs, Fat etc clearly calculated at bottom of page.(look at photo)Gladly, for me no meal photos! But the recipes are so simple & clearly set out you don't need pics🥰Also 7 lined pages at back of book for notes,A great variety, a no fuss, must have for a Keto diet!🎉Keep it Simple.🙏🧠🤪AND ☘Good Luck☘ to you all on your 😍Keto journey😍

I loved this book so much I bought a hard copy. I love all the recipes and the meals are so.tasty and easy to make with only 5 ingredients. I love how relatable Jen is especially with chronic conditions. Definitely recommend this fab keto book. Best one out there.

This is a pretty poor Keto diet book. Its VERY American in product which makes it hard to use. Plus the net carb amounts dont add up, and they are high, often over 10g for each meal. Which is stupid as many keto diets have 20g as a ceiling.Personally I would avoid this book. My copy is going into the paper recycling!

I knew there would be some things I can't eat as I am allergic to fish and cheese. 2 things that low carb diets depend on quite heavily. But out of the ones in the book that don't have those in, I simply wouldn't eat them. They take too long to prepare some of them and seem like a lot of hassle for a plate of food that isn't all that appealing to me. Maybe they are appealing to others. I saw the front cover and thought 'great, looks like normal food'. So I bought the book. None of the meals/recepe's are like the front cover. This seems to be the same for other keto and diabetic type books. I think I will give up looking for realistic meal ideas.

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.

No me gusto que el libro me llegó roto

Great book.

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!
