Keto Diet: Your 30-Day Plan to Lose Weight, Balance Hormones, Boost Brain Health, and Reverse Disease

I first “met” Dr. Josh Axe through his Ancient Nutrition line! Then I became aware of his webpage and Instagram account! Both are extremely helpful as they focus on overall health: mind, body and spirit! Last week, I listed to Dr. Axe on the Ultimate Health Podcast. It was one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to. So much so that I’ve listened to it three times and sent it to many people! Dr. Axe shared a lot of what is in this book. He has a positive, holistic approach to health and life and it’s contagious! This book is powerful because it’s about “clean” Keto and gives many reasons why a Keto Diet can be advantageous for optimal health! I am grateful for his approach because he also mentions the importance of a spiritual routine and how that impacts stress levels and life. I appreciate that he keeps in mind that everyone is different and needs different plans based on their goals and health needs. He provides and explains multiple plans with sample menus for people who are looking to lose weight and improve their health, people who are looking to fast, people who choose a vegan diet, a cancer plan and my fave chapter, “Forever Keto Cycling Plan”. This is my favorite chapter because it addresses how to actually sustain Keto to promote long term success. He shares Chelsea’s (his wife) experience and also shares how his brother handles carb cycling! With all that said, I am probably most impressed by the wonderful recipes that are EASY to make and follow! I can’t wait to make the Keto pancakes or the slow cooker beef and broccoli. Finally, I always appreciate an approach that’s honest, focused on overall health and written in a way that’s easy to understand! Dr. Axe’s book is genuine and engaging because he refers to himself, family members and friends as examples which helps readers connect and better understand how it may work for them!

Such a great book! I love that it is easy to follow, understand and implement. Love the recipes in the back and the sample meal plans! Wish they did show macro/ calories for recipes tho. We have bought this book 3 times! 1 for a family member, 1 for us and 1 for a friend. I have also been sending links for others to purchase it on amazon. I love it that much! Before this book, Keto seemed very complex to me but this book really helped break everything down well so I could sustain it in my life. My hubby loves the keto diet! He says it’s the easiest diet he has tried and can see himself doing it long term. I appreciate that the book doesn’t endorse his own supplements but is very balanced about providing info on general supplements that will help boost the effect of keto. I believe supplements have a very important role in our diet so I’m very glad he included that in the book. Overall, love it and use it daily!!

I'm a big fan of Dr. Axe and his newest book Keto Diet doesn't disappoint. It's chockful of information and medical studies. I've read some other books on Keto and this one takes the cake. I also love how it's not all about weight loss (though it is a big part of it) but he discusses keto's benefit for brain health, hormones, and cancer. He also shares various plan options for your needs whether you are a vegan or battling cancer. I also liked there is a section on intermittent fasting and how it works well with keto. At the end of the book, he talks about keto cycling which I have heard both sides from different sources. I think it's a good plan for the long haul. I don't know if cycling carbs twice a week will work for everyone. I think for me it will end up in disaster lol. Maybe twice a month.... I think everyone will be different with that. I am going to start his plan in March and I will update with how it goes. BTW I have PCOS so I am really curious to see how it helps. Now, why 4 stars instead of 5.... If I could I would give 4.5 stars but Amazon doesn't allow that. In his recipes especially the smoothies he recommends his keto collagen, keto protein powder, bone broth power etc. That's great and all but what if we can't afford it, or don't like it, or we run out. It would have been nice if he would give us another option where we don't have to buy a blend or what happens if we are out. Like if he could have written next to it "or 2 tablespoons of college and 1 tablespoon of MTC oil." <--- that's just a random example don't take that to heart! That's my only real issue with the book. Otherwise, it's a fantastic book! Thank you, Dr. Axe!! God Bless :D

This gets 5 stars because I’ve read and followed this, and listened to it in the Audible version, and find 1) you don’t need to be bogged down with calorie/carb counts, just follow the guidelines, and 2) like most people, I physically and mentally benefit from super healthy fats, medium levels of nutrient dense protein, and no starches or processed foods. This is Keto done with great science, well explained so you can follow the lifestyle. My insulin resistance has been reversed- no more pre-diabetes - due to this lifestyle. It helps if you love avocados and salmon, but the information means you can use any food or brand of Keto collagen (not just his) if you want to read a label and choose swaps. Dr. Josh Axe has the science, the organized plan, the recipes, and the positivity that makes this successful. Keto Fat Bomb recipe, in the muffin tin, is delicious!

This is the 2nd time I've purchased this book. The original was given away and then I realized what I'd done. My opinion is that where Keto is concerned, Dr. Axe's version might be the best resource. I have done Keto twice now and both times I dropped about 22 lbs in 3 weeks. My only problem (not with the book) is that both times I reach a 'plateau' and it takes weeks to get through it. Frustrating but if you hang in, it will pass and start losing 'fat' not muscle once more. Based on my own experience, I can recommend this book. Good luck!! Oh, and when you do plateau or get the 'Keto Flu' (tired and a general feeling of unwell, like any flu) you can try having a 'cheat' day (eat carbs etc) to get things 'moving' again. Tomorrow is Our 56th anniversary and I am definitely having my 'cheat' day and will enjoy and savour each bite. Back on Keto the next day though.. :)

Great read! Extremely professional and profound writing. Finally a book written by a physician for the simple people. I especially liked the different plan options and the maintenance program - what is usually missing in other diet books. Highly recommend!
