I do particularly like the layout of each recipe. The pictures. The nutritional information. but, as a working mom, I was overwhelmed by the amount of work each recipe was.

Nice assortment of recipes for this diet. There are a lot of books written about this subject. If you need help with recipes that reflect the Keto diet, this will be a good addition to your library. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on my review.

I liked having options for keto snacks and lunches. Having a protein-based food instead of sugary snack that causes an afternoon sugar "crash" while teaching is helpful!

This cookbook provides recipes helping you stay on your Keto diet because it can be difficult to find the right food on the diet, but with the yummy recipes in this cookbook it makes it easier. The photos and yummy recipes help

After watching the video on Netflix about the Keto diet, I wanted to see how easy or hard it was to live off of this diet, I must say even as easy as this cookbook gave instructions, there is no way, I could do it daily. I guess I am a huge grain eater. LOL

Martina Slajerova knows how to make recipes easy to read and follow, each recipe is very detailed and explained very easy, so anyone could follow and the book has great pictures.

Now, as for the diet itself, there are ingredients in here I have never heard of or even seen before in my lifetime and that is saying something because I have always used harder recipes with ingredients that made me Google or look up in books, but quite a few of these are just really questionable. I am sure Amazon has every ingredient that is offered in this cookbook, but the thing is I am not an online grocery shopper so if my local Kroger doesn’t carry the ingredient then it’s a no go for me and some of these ingredients are not at my local market.

I love a good cook book and the fact that it was Keto made me want to check it out even more. The recipes seemed a bit complex. So if you're looking for quick meals, this is not your book. There were great pictures and some of the meals looked positively yummy. I would recommend this book for the experienced Keto-inspired cook.

This is a keto cookbook that is not for beginners. The recipes require ingredients that are not easy to come by. If you are someone who is already into keto and doing the diet, you will find better use from this cookbook.

The Keto All-Day Cookbook is perfect for experienced Keto dieters looking for new and innovative recipes. It assumes the reader knows the science behind the Keto plan. That being said, there seems to be a great deal of variety in the recipes, and some very unique combinations. I would have liked a few more photos, as I am a visual reader. I have minimal familiarity with the keto science, so I will refer to this cookbook as I gain more knowledge and experience.
I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.  Going into this book I honestly didn't know much about the Keto diet, despite having heard of it from multiple people. So I figured that reading this cookbook would be a good way to learn more and also potentially find some good recipes.

Unfortunately this book was not for me, also the diet is not for me. I love potatoes far too much to ever try this. :D But that wasn't the only reason that I didn't find recipes that I would enjoy. First off this book did not have enough photos of the food and recipes. What I love most about cookbooks is how the pictures draw me in. This wasn't the case for this cookbook. And the few photos that were in the book looked unappetizing.  There was too much going on the in the recipes, and I didn't like the food combinations.  "Turkey Nuggets with Kale stew and Italian Dressing" feels like it's going too many directions at once. 

I think I found a single recipe that I wanted to try and it was for crackers. So that about sums up my feelings for the book.  In the end I gave it 2 stars. Maybe it was just me because I didn't like the diet after learning about it, but also I think this book could have used more photos and I would have liked it a little more.

Easy to follow recipes that actually turn out as good as they look. I found myself utilizing this book more than once when planning menus for the week.

With the popularity of the Keto way of eating, I've come across no shortage Keto cookbooks. Martina Slajerova's The Keto All Day Cookbook presents a lovely designed cookbook that features unique recipes from soups, sauces, lunch, dinner and everything in between. I really liked the layout of the book and the lovely colors used throughout. And I appreciate the addition of photos as I've come across so many cookbooks without actual photos. Another nice feature is the inclusion of macronutrients. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing a digital copy for review purposes. For anyone looking to add a little variety to their keto/low-carb lifestyle, this will be a handy reference to add to their collection.

This book is well set out and beautifully illustrated. It’s a great beginners guide to the keto recipes and lifestyle.

First let me say that I've never reviewed a cookbook before. I hope that I do a good job on this one. And I honestly don't plan to review many (or any) other cookbooks on my blog at this time.

Next I want to talk a bit about keto. Keto isn't just a diet that you put yourself on. Now I'm no expert and I highly recommend to anyone interested in starting keto do your research first. This is not a "diet" that you can just wing. See "keto" is actually a process within the body--ketosis. Our brains typically use glucose (from carbs) as fuel, but when carbs are deprived the brain has to find a way to be fed and so there's a process that happens within your body where your liver turns fat (consumed fat or existing body fat) into ketones which your brain can then use as fuel in the place of glucose. Therefore, keto is a HIGH fat, MODERATE protein, and LOW carb diet necessary to maintain the process of ketosis within the body. I wouldn't recommend starting keto without at the bare minimum, this basic knowledge.

That being said, my husband did keto last year after he researched extensively. He started January of 2018 and lost just shy of 50 pounds by June. From June until October he maintained his weight loss. October is a busy month for us with 5 family members having birthdays. Then there's Thanksgiving and Christmas in November and December, so he decided to take those months off. He gained back 20 pounds within that time period and felt miserable. I was breastfeeding at the time and it isn't recommended to limit carbs so strictly while breastfeeding so I decided to wait until I weaned my son to start. December 26th I started my keto journey. Where I was losing one pound every 3-4 weeks while breastfeeding and postpartum, I've lost 15 pounds in 10 weeks. There's not really any negatives for me with doing keto. Sure I love carbs and sugar as much as the next person, but the food is actually delicious on keto. I stay full and not constantly hungry like previous times in my life when I've tried to "diet". And you can still have bread-like dishes by substituting almond flour or dessert by using sugar alternatives like Swerve (erythritol).

Enter The Keto All-Day Cookbook. I'd already meal-planned 3 months worth of dinners before I received this cookbook so I did have to make some adjustments to that plan in order to actually try some of these dishes before reviewing the book. (If you're interested in hearing how I meal-plan so far in advance let me know and maybe I'll do a post about it.) My immediate reaction to the cookbook is that these recipes are a bit intensive and complicated, and some of the ingredients are odd and not ones that I either have on hand or am interested in buying (psyllium husk anyone?). I'm sure those ingredients are necessary and have been tested with and without them to ensure the best recipes. So I found myself skipping several recipes that I would have otherwise been interested in trying. I thought about making the recipes and just leaving those ingredients out, but I assumed that they were there for a reason that I didn't need to mess with.

I do particularly like the layout of each recipe. There's a picture with almost every single dish--which is always a pet peeve of mine with cookbooks (not having pictures). There's a section with easily identifiable icons for things like allergies or vegetarian dishes. She's included a tips section or just general information about each recipe. There's the recipe itself. Sometimes there will be additional notes. Nutrition facts are listed--exactly the things you need to know most when on a keto diet.

My biggest negative to The Keto All-Day Cookbook is the complexity of the recipes. I need fast, simple, easy. I like to provide my family with delicious meals, but with two children three and under, I need quick and easy. And while the recipes that I did try from the cookbook were all delicious, I just prefer simple overall, and I've found that more from just searching Pinterest. (Check out my Keto Board where I make comments on the pins I've tried with how they've worked for me or any adjustments I've made.) The Keto All-Day Cookbook gets 4 Stars. Have you read The Keto All-Day Cookbook? What did you think? Let me know!

I received a temporary digital copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

Another great keto cookbook by Martina. My only complaint is I would prefer a cookbook with all new recipes since I own a lot of her others and quite a few overlap.

The Keto All Day Cookbook is full of a variety of recipes that are both pleasing and satisfying. I like that there is a lunch section because that is where I struggle a lot when trying to come up with new keto recipes. There are also a lot of different ethnic dishes in here which I appreciate because I like changing up what I am eating and I enjoy foods from all around the world. I think I would eat nearly anything in this book. The Keto All Day Cookbook is the perfect cookbook for someone falling a ketogenic diet or who just want some new healthy recipes.
