The ketogenic diet, a low-carb, high-fat way of eating, is remarkably effective at transforming people’s lives, helping them shed pounds and find relief from common health conditions such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, depression, autoimmune diseases, and high blood pressure. No one knows this better than bestselling author Suzanne Ryan. In her quest to overcome her lifelong struggle with her weight, she stumbled upon the ketogenic diet and decided to give it a shot.

Labor of love…Kudos Suzanne
I’m still struggling with getting the hang of the macros for my keto diet plan. I think I’m still eating way too many calories and I’m still having cravings for food after a month of being on the plan. But one thing is for sure, I really do like this book. Everything that I’ve tried so far has been delicious and easy to prepare. I’ve already made the mug biscuits. They are delicious. I’m from the southeast United States so I really appreciated that. It was kind of comforting to know that Suzanne also grew up partly in South Carolina like me so her palate and a lot of her recipes would suit my tastes. Like me, as she’s grown and lived in other places besides the South, her palate has expanded to include other flavors. You can see that in some of her recipes and that appeals to me too. I like that some of her recipes are definitely a throwback to southern comfort food while others reflect fresh, multicultural flavors that were probably influenced by her life in California and other places. I have also made the cauliflower casserole with bacon (which is fairly standard in most keto cookbooks but I found her version even simpler and easier) and I’ve made the chicken cordon bleu with the crushed pork skins for the coating. I substituted pounded chicken thighs for the chicken breast and cooked them just a little longer (since dark meat tends to take longer) and they too turned out absolutely delicious. I’ve seen this recipe before in several other keto cookbooks but they tend to call for an almond flour coating whereas this one called for a crushed pork skin and Parmesan coating and it made all the difference. A simple tweak like that lent a really crunchy and smoky flavor to the chicken. I ended up sharing some with my parents who are not on a keto diet plan. Nonetheless, they loved it! I like that the ingredients are simple and easy to find and that the portion sizes and the nutrition facts/macros are right there at the bottom of each recipe. I enjoyed reading the author’s personal testimony. I also appreciated that the book is packed full of photos so that you can see what your food will look like. I joined the Simply Keto Facebook group for support. I own several keto cookbooks now and each of them has things that I like. I’ll be referring to all of them. But this is one of my favorites so far. I love the author’s attention to detail, the high quality publishing, the photos, tips, and the stories. I just think it’s very well done and that it seems like a labor of love. She was somebody who struggled with a serious weight condition. She was somebody like me who needs to lose a lot of weight and who struggled with weight most of her life. So the overall vibe of the book comes across as a sincere desire to help people who have tried everything and failed.

Oh my God! This book has changed my life!!
I don’t even know where to begin about this book. Suzanne’s story is touching and so real. Her life struggles with weight are everything I have had to deal with in my life as well. I bought this book and two others a few months ago. I Mainly wanted to learn more about the KETO diet. The other two books I purchased we’re complicated and too much to deal with recipe wise. I generally only have 30 minutes make dinner at night when I get home. Suzanne’s book simplifies everything for a busy working mom. Her recipes are short, super easy, and most of the ingredients I already had. Her book made me so excited about starting a new way of looking at life and eating. Over the last 15 years I have struggled to get my weight under 200 lb. Within a week with the help of Suzanne’s book I not only dropped below 200 but I was at 196. Whew! Finally, and it wasn’t just my life that has changed because of this diet. In April my husband had an annual blood test done, his triglycerides were 331, OMG! So I started him on a low-fat healthy diet lots of vegetables no bread, no sweets just healthy eating. After I received Suzanne’s book in July I changed up his diet to exclude just a few more things that cut more carbs, and added more fat. A week ago he repeated the blood test and his triglycerides have dropped to 43 WOW! Now I’m not really sure if it was the vegetable Low carb diet or the low carb high fat Keto way of eating that cut those triglycerides down to size. What I can tell you though is he was on the keto diet for about two months before he took his blood test and he had amazing results! Please take this advice to Heart try this book it is amazing, it is simple, it is heartfelt and I truly hope someday I will have the opportunity tovmeet the lady that made this book and changed my life.Update: February 30th 2019I just wanted to give a quick update: since we started this new way of eating in September, everyone in my family has lost weight. My husband 45, both of my boys 60, and then me 38. The holidays were a bit challenging, but we have all kept off the weight. I believe in the ease of Suzanne’s book so much, that I have personally purchased and given away an add 12 of her books to my family and friends. She is truly an inspiration!

As far as low carb recipe books go I have really gotten a ton of use out of this book so far and found it to be of good value for my money. The low carb/low sugar recipes have added some nice variety to our meals and the overall plan did not leave me feeling hungry or deprived, I appreciated the tips throughout. I really like the 30 day meal planner in the back that I can mix and match as I please according what food I might have on hand. Dinners suited everyone in the family, most were very quick to prepare we all enjoy the variety. There are some different breakfast ideas rather than eggs & protein smoothies every day, I love the muffin & pancake recipes that use almond flour, I found the almond flour is a little expensive but you use so little of it in recipes it goes a long way. The Cheese Keto Crackers are amazing, good little nibbles to take the edge off, easy to make, there’s lots of low carb appetizers, sauces, sweets…. like I said it’s a great tool to have in your kitchen. I also enjoyed reading about the author’s journey, honest and straightforward, which has been inspiring for me too, to me this isn’t a “diet” it’s changing the way I eat to feel better all the way around!

A genuine guide by the Author. From the beginning to end telling her life experience including photographs in the first section onto an explanation on Ketogenic food and the science behind it. A Cookbook which is easy to follow, beautifully put together; bright photographs and colourful illustrations with her ‘Tips’ under each recipe including a breakdown of Calories/Fats/Protein and Carbs per portion. Super guide to the Ketogenic (low Carb) way of cooking, with suggestions of essential tools; utensils to help you, along with her personal choice of books she chose to help her on her way at the start of her journey. For beginners this is a great book. It is American, so for the European market one just has to look up certain food products and translate them, and convert American ‘Cups’ into Metric ( I looked it up on the web). All in all, I have found her journey really inspiring and think this is one of the best presented books on this extraordinary way of eating.. who would ever have thought eating fat encourages weight loss.. Well it does. Very much looking forward to her next book.

This book has a lot of different recipes and most are pretty simple to put together. Some of them i would classify as a treat even though they are keto, this is because the omega 3/6 ratio would be not ideal. Think anything with lots of almonds or dairy in it. Regardless i have cooked up around 30 of the recipes, most of them very tasty.
