Quick and Healthy Keto Zone Cookbook

For anyone wanting to start Keto eating, this is an excellent book to start. I only got approved for this title this morning but I have been through every page and I must say what a simple easy book to read.

The Introduction is not long winded but short and to the point. Excellent information about what the Keto Diet is and interesting Health Truths.

Part Two tells you why the Keto Diet works, and Part Three is all about the recipes which I must say really impressed me.

These are not recipes that are difficult to read and create. Simple and to the point with all the nutritional information that is needed. Very impressed and I am sure when the book comes out and you can see the pictures it will be even more impressive.

Thanks to NetGalley and Worthy Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This was a nice addition to my Keto cookbook library. I liked a lot of the recipes that were shown in this book. Some are new takes on some already staples to my family’s Keto lifestyle.

The author begins by telling the reader to check with their doctor and not stop taking their medications before they begin this diet.
The author states that he worked with patients who had cancer and he helped them to modify their diets by cutting out carbohydrates, starches, sugar, alcohol and bread and instead eating fresh vegetables, organic meat, quinoa and other foods and some of them had a reduction in symptoms that was gradual but their cancer symptoms lessened and became less aggressive.
You will have to read the book for yourself to see what other kinds of illnesses and chronic pains were improved by being on this diet.
There are recipes for pumpkin pancakes using pumpkin, cream cheese, eggs and butter with a whipped coconut cream topping, frozen berry smoothies, chopped shrimp salad with Italian Dressing, Grilled chicken salad, salmon salad wraps, SPICY LAMB MEATBALLS WITH TZATZIKI with yogurt, lamb, cucumbers, and cumin, and filet mignon steak.
There are even desserts such as coconut custard, frozen whipped chocolate and frozen lemon custard.
You will not go hungry eating these foods, your body will get used to not consuming sugar, starches and carbohydrates, and you will have more energy.

This book gives a great introduction to the keto lifestyle, explaining in an easy and quick way the basics if you want to start out. The structure of the book is the standard for a cookbook (Introduction to lifestyle first, Staples, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Deserts) and makes total sense. All recipes are clear, come with nutritional info and there is going to be a picture every 3-4 recipes,

This similarly goes for the recipes. There are very easy recipes that most people already might have in their book as go-tos (like 8 different ways to prepare eggs) but it leads up to more intricate dishes like a filet mignon steak. So far I have tried 2 of the simpler recipes and the instructions were clear, simple, and easy to follow. I will try more soon.

Overall none of the recipes was a big surprise or something completely new, but this is a very good collection for people who do want to change their lifestyle and do not have a ton of books on their shelf already.

The overall rating is reflecting at this point that the ARC that I received in exchange for an honest review had no nutritional details yet, which is very important in this type of book. Also at this point there are placeholders for pictures every 3-4 recipes. In the i-post-each-meal-on-social-media day and age I tend to only go for cookbooks that have a beautiful picture for each of the recipes. I understand this makes cookbooks a lot more expensive but seeing that the expected price range is similar to the full photo books, I would expect that. The quality of the pictures and the nutritional value could change my rating of the book a lot, so I will update this review once these details are finalized.

I began keto almost 2 years ago. This is not only a wonderful book of recipes for veteran keto lifestylers but for beginners as well!
Filled with colorful images and tastey recipes, it is a great tool to have in your keto kitchen arsenal.

Great recipes. They looked easy to make. Most of the recipes had Ingredients that were easy to get. I have read other books by Don Colbert and have liked how informative they were.

This is a companion book to “Dr. Colbert's Keto Zone Diet: Burn Fat, Balance Appetite Hormones, and Lose Weight” In that book Dr. Colbert’s goes into great detail about the diet’s ins and outs. In this cook book there is a brief overview. For example, the answer to “What is the Keto Diet” the Dr. says, “…low-carb, high-fat and moderate protein. It’s incredibly healthy; not only does it work to cure. Or manage diseases, it is the best weight loss method in the world!”

He says over the years he’s treated people who have had advanced cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, mental illness and much more. He stages, “They needed help yesterday so they could be on the road to healing today…”The answer was not a pill, medication, pharmacratical drug or surgery. The answer was a nutritional one completely based on the food we eat.”

He describes the keto diet as being the “intake of 20 grams of carbs per day. It boosts fat intake and moderate protein intake. That causes your body to shift to burning fat -burning zone! You are now burning fuel and not sugar.”

The recipe book is broken down to cover the basic recipes of broth, sauces and dressings to start with. Then there are about 20 recipes for each section Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Desserts, and Snacks.

The bone broth is yummy and easy to make and so was the Perfectly Scrambled Eggs (which had a microwave version and a list of additional ingredients to add flavor)

Other recipes I’d like to try are Pumpkin Pancakes, Savory Breakfast Muffins, Roasted Cauliflower & Crab Soup, Cauliflower Crab Cakes, Wilted Baby Spinach with-Seared Salmon, Herb Roasted Chicken, Avocado Ice Cream, Frozen Whipped Chocolate, Frozen Lemon Custard, Garlic Flaxseed Crackers – Veggie Cheese Chips, and Seed Bread.

I liked that the ingredients are ones that are easy to find in a regular grocery store. I like that it lists the yield of each recipe on the top before the instructions. At the bottom of the recipes there is a list of nutritional information that gives you the calorie count, fat, protein, carb and fiber. the instructions are simple and easy to follow.

This recipe book helps to bring in a variety of creative dishes for you to try and discover your family favorites. And/or maybe you’ll be able to create variations on the recipes to accommodate your family likes and dislikes.

I read an ARC copy of this book so I didn’t get the full impact of this book. I saw that there was room for pictures of the recipes in the book with red letters that said (add picture). I look forward to viewing the pictures and the additional recipes that were going to be added to the book. If it’s like the author’s other books it will be great!
