I have been following a keto/low carb lifestyle for a year now and I still really liked a flow and way to describing keto and what 'dirty keto' is. Recipes sounded appealing and easy to make. I loved the pictures of completed meals. My library already has this on order. Thanks

My doctor told me I need to go low carb and high protein for my epilepsy. Keto was originally designed as a treatment for epilepsy and my neurologist recommended a low carb, high protein, moderate keto lifestyle to see if that combined with medication would help my seizures in both frequency and severity. I've been researching and downloading every book available to find recipes that would fit my family's tastes and I've found a lot of recipes, but I've always been afraid of the cravings and the strict rules. Then I discovered Lazy Keto. As long as it fits in my macros I can eat it. I can have chocolate. I can have most vegetables (most strict keto diets have a long list of vegetables that you can't eat. I love my veggies.) I can have breadsticks and pizza!
Stephanie Laska credits her 140 pound weight loss to lazy keto because of the same reasons. Strict keto is too restricting and daunting for some people. The macros, the ketosis strips, the standing in the aisle monitoring every ingredient. The expense. And because most foods require making from spice mixes on, what if you aren't big on cooking or don't have time to make a recipe that takes an hour and a half or more plus prep every night?
Lazy keto has given me hope that I can be successful, and Stephanie's "if I can, you can" point of view and her tips for "shortcuts" alleviate some of my fears about giving up halfway through the year.
I will admit, the titles of the recipes were cheesy, and I'm not sure I'll ever believe radishes can be a substitute for potatoes in hash browns. But, there were many recipes for real food that my family will eat happily. It was 50 recipes for fat bombs and a few main dishes that involve 20 ingredients and a half a day. This will be a cookbook that will be kept closely on hand during meal planning days.

If you love cheese and vegetables (which I do), this is the cookbook for you. the dishes are rich and delicious AND will keep you in ketosis. and I love the way the Laskas are so honest about their successes and failures and don't try to be all high brow and fancy. But my favorite thing is how they take all those dishes you miss on a keto diet and come up with a reasonable facsimile that is keto friendly.

The Dirty, Lazy, Keto,Cookbook is a good cookbook for beginners trying to understand the Keto diet. It is easy to understand.

I love this book. Stephanie has taught me to do Keto the easy way. I have lost weight and feel so much better!! The recipes are very good and I love the Weekend Omlette. Most recipes are made with easy to find ingredients.
Many thanks to Adams Media and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I did like this book and am hoping that the fact that the formatting was totally off was just because it was on my Kindle app on my phone because it looked really strange. That being said, the content was well laid out and in spite of it being a cookbook, I found myself actually reading it all the way through as if it were a story. Full disclosure I neither prepared any of the recipes nor actually have any proof that this author's version of keto is actually effective, but if the recipes, in fact, taste good and are actually keto (meaning if you eat exclusively what is specified in here you will go into ketosis and lose weight) then this book is excellent. The ingredient lists are simple and short and the methods are easy to follow. The author is relatable. Often on food blogs, the author has a lot of backstory before the recipe that is verbose and not very interesting, but this is a story of a regular person who uses wit to tie her fitness journey together.

The only complaint I have besides the format (and I am giving the benefit of the doubt that it will be fixed in the final print version) is that personally I prefer LOTS of photos in cookbooks. Literally, one reason I even buy cookbooks is so I can see pics of the final product and there is maybe one pic per 3 or more recipes. She somewhat makes up for it by the fact that it is entertaining to read, but more pictures would really enhance this book and possibly give it 5 stars for me.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book.

I know a few people who have found success with different varieties of Keto and am happy to see more resources and cookbooks become available regarding them.

I love this book!

Everything you need to do Dirty, Lazy Keto is here without having to read paragraph after paragraph to justify it. Laska isn't trying to convince you this can work. Laska is saying this has worked for her and here are tools and information she used to succeed.

The DIRTY, LAZY, KETO Cookbook includes 100 recipes, each that include less than 10 net carbs per serving. The variety of entrees and snacks are made with food found in regular grocery or big box stores. There are no crazy ingredients involved, just the way to incorporate them.

The DIRTY, LAZY, KETO Cookbook by Stephanie and William Laska was a gem to dive into. I found the author's style to be fun, open and similar to chatting with a friend about real life nutrition. She talks about the path she took and invites readers to explore and find a path that works for them. She is a relief to read in the day of Keto Police reprimanding each and every thing that doesn't fall into strict keto guidelines. Lets face it, there are many people who have lost incredible amounts of weight by altering keto to fit their lifestyle. A judgement and guilt free zone is what we are all looking for to investigate what works AND what doesn't for our chemistry.

The beginning of this book is super helpful on the basics of a keto way of eating, useful for both the beginner and the knowledgeable. There are pages of grocery lists included complete with net carb counts. The selection of recopies is amazing. The author also states that if you don't like one, skip over it. Don't like an ingredient? Swap it out with another and make it your own. She doesn't require ingredients that are hard to find or out of most household budgets (i.e.: Dolla Store Pumpkin Soup). The recipes range from the simple (Olive Garden Salad) to the gourmet (Basil Coconut Curry Shrimp).

I have read many Keto cookbooks and this one is by far the most useful for me. I will be revisiting it time and time again. Many thanks to Netgalley and Adams Media for the opportunity to read this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. Of note, I have never given another keto cookbook a 5 star rating!

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this! This is a great book. VERY AWESOME recipes and very easy to follow along. This js a great diet book and is nice for anyone wanting to eat healthy! I highly recommend.

I'm so glad I decided to give this one a try because this is now my favorite cookbook! Stephanie's story is such an inspiration, but the best part is her funny, quirky, and realistic attitude towards dieting, eating, and so on. We are by no means avid Keto dieters, however, I love digging through Keto recipes to make because my husband is Diabetic. Whenever I can find low carb recipes that are filling and yummy, I get so excited. When he doesn't know they are low carb - even better!

The layout of this book is simple and logical with recipes divided into breakfast, snacks, salads/soups, and so on. Budget-friendly shoppers will appreciate the simple ingredients that won't cost a fortune, in addition to the fact that things can be substituted here and there using a little common sense and creativity. Honestly, there are hot dogs on the approved list. This is something that's on sale all of the time, filling, and you can do anything from boiling them to grilling them and they are tasty. I'm not a fan of radishes so I will be skipping all of the recipes including radishes, but the point is, there is a little bit of something for everyone in this book!

I just downloaded this the other day and have already made the Starbucks Egg Bites (which were amazing), the Hangover Bacon-Wrapped Pickles (also amazing), and the Drunken Pot Roast (which was very tasty, but my hubby was missing carrots and potatoes, nevertheless). The next recipe I am trying is the McDonald's Cheeseburger soup and I can't wait!

I highly recommend this one for people that are wanting to be carb conscious eaters without having to completely change their lives. This is simple, realistic, and doable.

I love that someone wrote a Dirty/Lazy keto cookbook! This is really great for beginners who are trying to understand keto. The cookbook has great pictures and is organized in a great way. The recipes are clear and easy to understand. I love the macros in the book too! Thanks for giving me access to this book!

Thank you netgalley for an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

I have been following the Keto style diet for a while and am always looking for new recipes and ideas to make the lifestyle as enjoyable as possible. Stepahnie Laska's is a simpler and more relaxed approach to the stick diet. She is not about counting every morsel and has adapted the diet strategy to her real life and has successfully lost 140lbs. The cookbook has a nice mix of meal options, includes yummy pictures and tips to making each dish more enjoyable. I have tried a couple of the options and am looking forward to adding more to my repertoire. This is a great cookbook for Keto dabblers and beginners or just health conscious people looking to expand their healthy meal options.

The Dirty, Lazy, Keto cookbook by Stephanie Laska is a Keto guided cookbook containing short cuts and totes a more budget friendly food lists, ideas and recipes for those who want to try Keto but simply don’t see themselves surviving all the restrictions. This book was a quick read once I mentally overlooked the spelling and editing mistakes.
I believe the copy I received was probably not yet edited. I wanted to read as I have been researching Keto for a months online and other, reading finds to decide if I am indeed going to try it. This book did not contain any information that I had not previously been able to find online but the author peppered it with snapshots of her life and such to attempt to set it apart. This did not help to make the book interesting or make one feel, this is a keeper. Its saving grace is that it tries to make the reader feel like keto can be attempted without stringent restrictions and that dieting should and can be approached in whatever way fits one best. I would not personally purchase this book
This copy was provided to me through netgallery and the opinions I impart are honest , freely given and completely my own.

If you've ever read a Keto cookbook, you know a lot of times the recipes are overly complicated, and let's face it, don't sound very appealing. This book is different. First of all, Stephanie is very down to earth--if you've read her Dirty, Lazy, Keto book, you know she is not into fuss. This is a great cookbook for people who want simple, tasty recipes that your family would probably enjoy, too. I'm not "keto" per se but always looking to cut down on carbs and this cookbook is a great way to start!

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of The Dirty Lazy Keto Cookbook!

Now this is my kind of cookbook! I haven’t made any of the recipes yet but I’ve bookmarked quite a few that sound really good. I’m a very picky eater and most recipes consist of ingredients I like. The recipes themselves also look pretty simple. There’s nothing worse than finding a picture of something that makes your mouth water, then flipping to the 70-step recipe, am I right?? Definitely a keeper for me!

Amazing recipes for anyone on the Keto diet. The author lets you know you don't have to stick strict to the recipe but things are interchangeable in it The recipes are delicious and the authors story is inspirational. Keto works!

Looking to live the keto lifestyle? This cookbook will help you get there. Notice, I didn't call it a diet. It's a lifestyle. It's about changing how you view food and this cookbook helps pave the way to eating nutritious yet delicious food. You get to learn about the keto lifestyle and why it works, and this lesson in science and nutrition isn't boring at all! I've only been able to make one recipe so far - the copycat Starbucks egg bites - but it was so easy to follow and was delicious! I had been looking for a good recipe dupe for a while and this was it! I look forward to trying out more recipes when I have the chance.

This cookbook comes out on January 7, 2020... put it on your to buy list!

Do not judge a book by its cover! The graphic design of Dirty, Lazy, Keto reminds me of those freebies you can get that are just a churning of the same 100 recipes with a single ingredient change but what you'll find beneath the cover is anything but run-of-the-mill. The heartfelt, honest, and sophisticated approach that Stephanie Laska writes within mirrors my own experience with keto. She writes what she knows in the best way possible - the result is a logical and HEALTHY introduction to the ketogenic lifestyle. And most of all, she's concise about it. The book is worth purchasing just for chapter 1 - forget the recipes!

But we should really talk about the recipes. I'll forgive her for using coconut flour in dishes that aren't meant to taste like coconut (my biggest pet peeve) because she offers a true variety. You'll find oatmeal and baked ziti amongst the usual jalapeno poppers and cheesecake. The names of the recipes are creative and fun. It's a delightful, comprehensive selection of keto on a budget.

Overall, the bones of this cookbook are stellar. It just needs a fancier package for my taste. Slap on a sophisticated cover and add tons more beautiful photos and I'll be gifting this book to friends come holiday time like nobody's business.

I have read several keto books and some are strict and some have too many ingredients. This is my kind of keto book. Easy and simple. I’m still new to the keto diet and I am nervous about change. This book makes it so easy for me to understand and the recipes are fantastic. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is starting keto.

I was given an ARC from Netgalley in return for an honest review

I always been overweight, my whole life and I tried a lot of diets but nothing seems to stick.
I found Mrs Laskas Story very encouraging and some of the recipes very yummy.
But there are also a lot of ingredients that I don't approve like aspartame so I think some of the stuff is manageable and can help a lot but you have to be very conscious and look what stuff you want to eat and what's not good for you and your body.

But I am very thankful that I got the chance to read this book.
