This book is well written, explaining what can cycling is, how it can help you lose weight, and how to implement the diet plans laid out for you.  I'm anxious to try carb cycling, as I've tried just about every diet out there!  He definitely makes it sound easy!

I wanted to do the whole low carb thing to drop my body fat and whilst looking for a book on the subject, I stumbled on this book.... I love it! Chris explains what amount of food you need and why - so you don't starve yourself. Also, he explains why low carb isn't good for athletes which stopped me from going that route.

There is also a chapter dedicated to female athletes - which most books I have seem to ignore. And then, a section for older athletes. I haven't gotten to these but these are critical chapters.

If you want a nice book to dispel myths and help you eat better, stop reading these reviews and buy this book already!!! If you are a female athlete, this is a must.

I highly recommend this to anyone who is considering or just starting such a diet. The information about carb-ups is especially useful and a brilliant way to address the biggest complaint most people have when starting keto. Excellent book for beginners. Really explains Keto diet in full and has e,violent easy recipes. Really love it has the dast, carb and protein count for them all as well!

After reading "Fat For Fuel" I was eagerly anticipating this cookbook, and it did not disappoint. The first 72 pages includes concise information on the ketogenic diet and it's health benefits, foods, supplements and cooking methods. It's easy to read and I have always enjoyed Dr. Mercola's writing style. The recipes sound amazing and it's what I"m looking for. They are creative and seem quite simple to make. Need to remember they were created by a very well known Australian chef and not a cook, so may not suit everyone's palate or ability to source some of the produce used. My only criticism is it would have been beneficial to include nutritional / macro information for those wanting to track it. Dr. Mercola does make mention of an online cronometer to calculate net carbohydrates and protein, however it would have saved time to include this information for the recipes listed.

I read this book before opening even one page of the main book, and it has answered many of the things that were niggling my mind, especially as I've tried a low carb diet before. Atkins is so much better thought-through! So glad I read this first, I'm now all fired up and raring to go! Definitely recommend this book to the sceptics out there.

I was at first disappointed that this is a book based upon all the facts and relevant issues of a low carb diet.  I was looking for more of a how to.
However, having said that I am glad I read it and shared it with my spouse who had serious concerns about our low carb program until reading this and discovering answers that make sense.

Anyone considering a low carb program should read this....really helps!

A very large number of recipes in this book! The author also provides a lot of tips to ensure weight loss will be successful. I enjoy that the downfalls to some low carb diet plans are mentioned, as well as their solutions. Definitely a great read for anyone looks to start eating better, or broaden their recipe knowledge!
I received this for free in exchange for my honest review. This didn't affect my review in any way.

Great book for those looking to understand the science behind weight gain, as well as an outline to follow for weight loss.  Basically, a low-carb plan...

Pretty simply explanation of what carbs are, how they work in your body, and how a low carb diet can be beneficial. Nice guide if you don't know anything about carbs. I personally appreciate the tips and advice for people watching their carbs and calorie intake. My favorite parts of the book were the tips on how to identify sneaky carbs (those sneaky things!!) as well as a 14 day meal planner. Low carb diets don't have to be as painful and boring as most think, this books gives great insight on that!

If you are seriously incorporating low carb foods into your lifestyle, this book is excellent. There is such a wide range of great recipes to choose from. The "Magic Rolls" recipe (delicious, fluffy bread!)was worth the full price of the book in itself. The authors include a nice review and explanation of some of the less-familiar ingredients, as well as a few sources for purchasing these items. The recipes are clearly written and easy to follow. I also highly recommend Dana Carpender's low carb cookbooks.

This book made me feel super excited to start a low-carb diet. I will definitely update you with my process, but it really gave me a general clarification of what I need to do how I need to start and the finish line.

While this has a number of interesting recipes, I wish there were more nutrition information present for the individual recipes, however, as this is important if you're trying to track carb intake. That said, the recipes were clearly written and easy to follow, and seemed fairly straightforward without needing to buy tons of unusual ingredients or replacement versions of flours or sweeteners.

There's a handy section in the beginning about low carb eating, although I found this somewhat less useful since I'm already fairly well versed in terms of low carb diets. However, to a beginner at the low carb lifestyle, this section could be really informative.

I like that this book is backed up with scientific studies. It is scientific but is easy to understand. It felt like I was reading a scientific journal. There were many references cited which increases its credibility and gains your trust. I learned a lot from a short book. This must be the most complete book about ketogenic diet.

My questions about the diet was answered by the author. The myths I used to believe about the diet were straightened out. What made this book even better is that the information were presented in a non-biased way by the author.

This one is a great book to start if you have any interest in ketogenic diet. Perfect for beginners. Everything you have to learn about the diet is all in here.

As someone who is new to eating a low carb diet, I jumped on having a cookbook that would be beneficial for my new lifestyle. It has two parts, smoothies and full meals. I love smoothies so I was super excited to have options that were low carb and healthful. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet (I'm trying another low carb cookbook right now) but I cannot wait to give this one a shot! The meal recipes look easy to follow for any at home chef. I also really enjoyed that they included information about why low carb diets are important and what not. Overall, it was a good choice that I can't wait to give a try in the future.

I did receive this product free or at a discounted price for my honest and unbiased review.

I've been buying low carb cookbooks for over fifteen years. Low carb eating has saved my health and kept me at a healthy weight. Martina is one of my favorite low carb bloggers and I was excited to get a copy of her cookbook upon release. She begins the book with expert advice on the keto diet  approach to healthy living. This information is well laid out and provides a wonderful introduction to the basics of a low carb high fat diet. I love that most of the recipes are savory with only a small chapter in the back devoted to sweet drinks and desserts. After being on a low carb diet for years, your cravings for sweets will diminish to the point where you won't feel the need to eat them often. The recipes are all made using wholesome real food ingredients that should fit most Paleo and Primal lifestyles. I will be referring to this cookbook often. It's great to have all these great recipes in one spot. You will not be disappointed! The photos are gorgeous and the nutritional data is given for each of the recipes so you know exactly what you're getting.
