The is a really informative and interesting book. The Keto diet is very well explained. The contents of this book have obviously been well researched. This book seems to be a good reference for someone wanting to try the Keto diet.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

Finally a keto cookbook I can understand, with an entire chapter on female dieters needs. Looking forward to getting a hard copy in my hands so I can highlight my favorite sections.

Tasha Metcalf shares an interesting exploration of the Keto diet presented in a textbook format. There is a lot of information presented in the text and if you are a woman and considering following a Keto way of eating, this book is a good resource for you.  The addition of recipes at the end is a plus. The book explores the benefits of Keto, how to get started, and ideas of what to eat (recipes).

This is the perfect book for learning about the advantages of Keto. You will understand what it is all about and how you can apply in your own life. The format was good but I would have liked more illustrations and definitely more recipes. I would buy this book for the excellent information but would want something additional for recipes.

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of Keto: A Woman's Guide and Cookbook.

I have to partly blame myself for this not-so-positive review because I didn't read the info on the book before requested it. My husband and I just started Keto a few weeks ago so anything with "Keto" in the title, I've been requesting, assuming its a cookbook with (hopefully) some delicious recipes. This book wasn't exactly what I'd expected. It says cookbook but I glanced through the book through more than half of it and never saw a single recipe. Maybe towards the end there are a few but I'm just not interested in reading a 100 page book specifically about the Keto diet.

A full comprehensive guide to keto and female hormones and how to adjust to every possible scenario, including peri-menopause and menopause. Lots of detailed info on straight keto, intermittent keto, etc. Highly recommend this book, especially if you need to understand how hormones affect female's ability to lose weight.

Very interesting and written for women, this book explores the beneficial effects of a ketogenetic diet and all the implications if we do that. There are a lor of scientific explanations and not so many recipes so if you are looking for a cookbook you may be disappointed, but if you are looking for a reason to follow a ketogenetic diet, you may find all the answers here.

Molto interessante e scritto appositamente per le donne, questo libro esplora i molteplici benefici di una dieta chetogenica e tutte le eventuali implicazioni che questo potrebbe avere. Ci sono molte spiegazioni scientifiche, ma non tante ricette, quindi se state cercando una serie di ricette potreste rimanerci male, ma se invece siete alla ricerca di una dieta scientificamente supportata, questo libro potrebbe rispondere a molte delle vostre domande, specialmente se siete delle donne.

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

I believe this is a revision of this past summer's Keto: A Woman's Guide with the addition of a cookbook and just like the original, it does not disappoint. Scroll for my original review (nothing has changed in that regard). There's a great variety of cuisine immaculately formulated. The calamari udon noodles are absolutely brilliant. What used to be an incredible guidebook just became a comprehensive must-have bible for any woman starting Keto.

Original review:
I'm completely blown away by Metcalf's thoroughly researched novel. Nearly two years Keto myself, I've learned from experience in a very personal, trial-and-error journey how to navigate the lifestyle as a woman. How I wish I could go back in time with this book at my fingertips! It's easily the best resource I've discovered thus far and I won't hesitate to recommend it to any of my female friends interested in Keto (and some of those guys who need a little extra education...). Thank you for writing this, Tasha Metcalf. You have built a strong supporter in this reader.

This book has a lot of medical and scientific information about being in a ketogenic state. I didn't find this overly helpful or important to have in a book because it is all available online. The recipes are ok and I wish there were more of them. The photos for the recipes weren't the best and didn't appeal to me making the item. Overall I would not recommend this book, there are far better books out there.

I heard everywhere about Keto and I was curious about it. If you didn't know what is it like ne then you should read this book. At the beginning you can find all the information you need. After this, you can see some recipes with delicious photos.
For me it's too much information, but the recipes sound yummy and I will give a shot.
Thank you NetGalley for the eArc.

Of the Keto books I've reviewed so far, this one is on the top of the list. Beautifully/simply designed with great visuals/diagrams (the breakdown of a nutrition label on keto!) to parse the information, comparison of other diets, great food photos and numbered recipe instructions, I really liked it all as a comprehensive guide. It's still a bit too much information for me to delve into (simple is better for me), but I'm excited to try some newish recipes (I haven't come across keto soups or chicken and waffle keto recipes) that will help me maintain a keto lifestyle (for the time being).

4/5 Stars.

Wow is this packed with good information about the keto diet and what it does to the female body! I found this little book to be quite informative and educational and I really was not expecting that from a cook book. I found the science behind hormones and the food that we consume to be quite thorough and I feel that all women should read this book before or even during their keto journey as it explains in great detail many issues that women face in regards to a lifestyle change and what happens to their bodies. The only flaw that I had with this book is I feel it needed more recipes as a cookbook only containing 30ish recipes seems kind of low.
