Keto Diet Hacks

This book contains exactly 200 helpful tips for anyone on the keto diet. I found most of these tips to be extremely helpful in my life.

Pre covid I was adhering to the keto lifestyle. But, well, life happens and I need to feel and eat better. Though most of these tips were not new to me they are such an apt reminder and inspiration. The 200 tips start with information such as stocking your pantry, meal planning, meal preparation, cleaning the kitchen, etc. There are a few recipes sprinkled throughout, too. I love the looks of the Spinach and Cheese Egg Cup recipe which is made in advance, a great idea as breakfasts can often be challenging especially if you have dietary restrictions.

There are sections on shopping, eating out, socializing, tracking macros, dealing with cravings and more. The tips take mental and physical wellbeing into consideration, too. One of the things that helped me most (and will again) is counting every single carb on paper. When I saw the carb and nutritional counts add up (a chunk of cheese or cracker here, a plum there) I was astonished.

This book would be ideal for beginners as well as those who know the information but are thirsting to learn the latest and need encouragement or a refresher.

My sincere thank you to Adams Media and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this interesting and practical book in exchange for an honest review. Much appreciated.

Keto Diet Hacks Dec 15

The first chapter deals with meal preparation, you can have the proper tools to make your keto meals and prepare your food in advance so that you have it on hand when you are hungry and in a time crunch. You are encouraged to shop and meal prep on the same day and stick to a meal plan or have ingredients that you can prepare in different ways for variety. If you portion out your meals daily in containers meals will be easily preheated and served - no thinking is required.
There is even a chapter on eating out which has some helpful suggestions - you pick out the restaurant and eat ala carte so you can pick out single items that are in your diet plan.
Prepare keto foods to come home to if you are still hungry or you went to a place where there were no keto-friendly foods on the menu. You could also put some snacks in your purse if you dare.
Keeping a hunger journal - write down the activity or emotions you feel when you get hungry and stop that activity or substitute something else will make you think about what you are doing to cause binging.
Spicing up your meals can help you to feel like you are rewarding yourself and adding extra flavors to your meal.
You can choose to eat more fiber to give yourself added nutrients, lose weight, and add probiotics and protein to your diet.
You are encouraged to drink tea, count your carbs, exercise and use distraction techniques to stay on your diet and lose weight.
Enjoy browsing through this book so you can be comfortable with and customize your keto diet for yourself.
Be aware that this book contains suggestions about yoga, meditation and other spiritual exercises that you may not be comfortable with.

Real world advice, I've seen most of these hacks in blogs but having them organized in a book is super useful. You can try one a day or focus on one a week.

Personally have been doing keto for almost 2 years and wish I had this book when I started! It would have saved me so much time and energy! Great GREAT tips and tricks. I learned a lot and have implemented quite a few hacks in my life. Can't wait to get it in my library for my other Keto patrons.

Thinking about starting a keto diet? Does it seem complicated? Maybe you aren’t sure where to begin? If your answer to any of those questions is yes, Keto Diet Hacks is the book for you!

The 200 hacks are organized into groups: Meal Planning, Grocery Shopping, Eating Out, etc. ending with a Troubleshooting section. You’ll learn what kitchen tools you need on hand and what staples and spices to stock in your pantry. The genius tip in the planning section is to shop and do meal preparation on the same day. That way, you skip having to put the groceries away!

You are probably already doing things like organizing your shopping list by section and bringing your own grocery bags to the store but most of these hacks will be new to you and are very useful. For example, make smoothies from salad greens that are close to their sell by date. And buy bone broth to use in soup because it is too much work to make your own! Keto Diet Hacks will show you ways to easily follow a keto diet in restaurants, what snacks to eat and how to handle cravings.

This is not a cookbook with recipes. This is an excellent guide to managing a keto diet and will appeal to keto regulars as well as those new to this diet style. 5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley, Adams Media and Lindsay Boyers for this ARC.

---Fantastic Keto Tips!!!---

I received an advanced review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley, and here are my thoughts.

Wow, this book is crammed pack of tips that will help someone not only keep motivated to stick to their keto diet, but also remind them that when the going gets tough...there is a solution.

From what foods to try, when and how to buy to save money, habits to cultivate, things to use that make keto easier and less time-consuming to prepare....this book has it.

If you've done keto for a while, you might not "need" this book per se, but I feel like the table of contents alone makes it worth buying because sometimes your memory needs jogging about what alternatives are available, and instead of getting lost in endless online information or having to plow through a keto guide, this book has the best of the best tips...right in the table of contents for you to access immediately.

So other keto books may have similar tips, but they are not as easy to find and put to use.

If you like to save time...this book will save you tons! And keep you inspired.

What an utterly practical and useful book for those who already know the basics about the Keto lifestyle and want to know what they can do to make being a Keto'er much simplier and easier!

The author lays out 200 tips and tricks, mostly one per page, on meal planning and prepping, grocery shopping and budgeting, eating out, drinking and socializing, curbing hunger, tracking and optimizing your macros, dealing with carb cravings, optimizing weight loss, turning keto into a lifestyle, and troubleshooting your diet and lifestyle habits.

I liked the unusual tips that the author found from studies, like tapping your head to distract you from carb craving. I'll have to try that one at the earliest opportunity!

The information in this book really reminds me of the questions that newbies to the Keto lifestyle usually ask in online groups. For example, one very common query is what to eat when you're out. You will find the answers here!

Actually I came to this book as someone who has been on a low-carb diet for a long time (not really Keto), and I still found a lot of the tips useful here, some new and some valuable reminders.

The book covers a great deal about Keto, and it would make a good introduction to someone new to the diet/lifestyle, but the structure was a bit odd. Instead of giving an overview of the Keto principles right off the bat, it starts out with things you need in your kitchen, while the most fundamental things aren't mentioned until half-way through. This wasn't an issue for me, since it's not my first rodeo, and in my case it worked well as a re-introduction and motivational book to start it up again. There was some information new to me despite my having done much research over the years, so this was definitely worth my time, and it makes for a good reference book to keep around - I took notes, and will be putting them to good use! It would have been very helpful to me when I first started out, and would've saved me a lot of time and worries - it covers such things as deficiencies and hair loss, which often go unmentioned. However, this won't convert anyone who isn't already convinced that Keto is the right choice for them.

Thank you to the publisher for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review!

A lot of good information in an easy-to-read format. Some of it is basic but quite a few of the tips are things the typical keto dieter may not have considered. It's worth a ready for anyone considering keto.

I enjoyed reading all the tips and I'll definitely do most of them. I'm new to the keto diet but I found this book very helpful for everyone. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

If you’re new to keto and need some help getting started, this book is for you. If you’ve been around the Keto block and have it down, then this book is not for you.

Filled with tips and tricks to help you get started, stay on track, and push through plateaus and some side effects, this is a great read for newbies. Having done KetoDiet successfully fortis month stretches, these are tips I’ve figured out already. They’d have been golden if I had found them on my first keto excursion.

With the new year, now you resolution out the window already, grab the book and start right now. You won’t regret it!

I am considering the Keto Diet, and preparing for the new year. Keto Diet Hacks by Lindsay Boyers was helpful. Some of the hacks I was already aware of from researching the diet online. However, there were quite a few hacks that were new to me. There are helpful strategies for in home food prep, and dining out (which will come in handy once COVID is under control and restaurants reopen).I also like the ability to have all of this information in one convenient place (on my Kindle).

If you are new to the Keto Diet, or researching the possibility of starting this diet, I feel that Lindsay Boyers' book would be very helpful.

Freezing avocados is a great idea.
Learn some grabbling perishable food from the fridge behaviors from the grocery store stocker. Keep your soon to be used items upfront, so you get to them before they wilt.
Making mayonnaise in a mason jar sounds like a fun activity for kids.

Funny that 1oz of cheese is related to the size of a 9v battery and 1 serving of nuts should be the size of a golfball.
Keto-friendly protein powder is a smart idea.

Fathead Dough.

A good collection of tips for any diet. Especially the mindufl eating, intermittent fasting, hydration, mindset change.

This is definitely for newbies to Keto. It's full of a lot of valuable information that makes the delve into the Keto lifestyle easier. I wish I had found it when I was starting. Very detailed. I don't think it's for anyone already into Keto dieting as it is mostly full of things you have learned along the way. But it's an excellent, comprehensive guide for those interested in, or just beginning.

I’ve been wanting to try Keto for awhile now, but it just seems overwhelming. This book is great to have as it offers a lot of useful information, I definitely enjoy the breakdown of what to have in your pantry, how to grocery shop, what ingredients to look for, etc. Thank you to Adams Media, the author, and NetGalley for a gifted copy. This is my honest review.

This is the perfect Keto beginner book and works to build a great foundation for anyone interested in giving the keto lifestyle a go. There's lots of helpful tips to get you started and most importantly it's easy to read (or even flip to a certain section if you want help with just one area).

The guidelines and information is well researched and easily understandable. A great resource to have a healthy meal for any time of the day for a healthy life living in keto.

Starting keto can be confusing and intimidating. There is so much information out there, a lot of which is contradictory, and so many people trying to make money off of diet plans and stuff like that.

Here are 200 excellent tips that make it really easy and straightforward to start and keep going.

I will absolutely be buying a hard copy of this for reference. It was clear, pleasant to look at, offers so many different options that it's almost impossible to be missing any information, and is thorough without being overwhelming.

A must-read for anyone starting or considering the keto lifestyle.

I received a copy of this book for free from NetGalley and Adams Media in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.

This was a super quick read and great refresher. I loved all of the easy recipes in this book! I have already made a few and they do not disappoint!
