Stacey (Fasting Girl) provides an accessible introduction to the keto diet in a guide rich with photos, charts, and lively text. She begins by explaining how the diet works. Readers will learn about good and bad carbohydrates, the regimen’s potential health benefits, and the four kinds of keto diets (standard, targeted, cyclical, and high-protein). Part II, “Ready, Set, Keto,” covers getting started. Preparation tips address setting up the kitchen and include a shopping list. Stacey provides a helpful keto “cheat sheet” with substitutions for conventional carb favorites to help readers quench snack cravings. She also shares tips on “eating out on keto,” exercising, and avoiding common mistakes. The best section, though, is Part III, “Cook Keto,” which kicks off with a seven-day meal plan (featuring three meals and two snacks each day) and contains nearly 60 pages of recipes, complete with mouthwatering photos that should go far to encourage dieters to give keto a try. Stacey’s well-produced book will please keto neophytes with its surplus of tips, encouragement, and ideas. (Apr.) Reviewed on : 03/11/2020
