I don't even know how many books on the Keto Plan and every other plan. Most of them are pretty much the same and as a plant based eater, not very applicable.This one was different.

One need not rush out and buy special equipment or strange sounding ingredients, just check your pantry and toss out anything processed. Simple.
As a Crohn's patient, this diet has kept me free from flare ups for years now. And I feel better and am emotionally on a much more even keel.
This is not primarily a weight loss book, but more of a natural way to eat. This is one I will be purchasing for my reference library!
Well Done!

I would highly recommend this book to anyone! This is FULL of wonderful information (yes, it does tend to get a little wordy) and yummy recipes. I read over some of the reviews and it is true there is a lot of information before you get to the recipes, but if this book were written any other way it would get discounted as a "fad" diet. Dr Axe goes through all the research and documentation as well as personal accounts of successes. It is the proof of why this die works and why it is different.I would like to thank Netgalley and Little, Brown and Company for an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

* Alkalize your body.
* Use pink Himalayan salt, it contains more trace minerals compared to other salts.
* Supplements: exogenous ketones. Promote the same environment as ketosis. 6 grams for the powder.
* Don't over consume protein or it will turn into glucose.
* Nootropics capsules: enhance brain performance: MTC oil, acetyl * Include enough collage (protein) in your diet: bone broth is a good source of it and it also contains hyaluronic acid to retain moisture and collagen plus it is a prebiotic.

* Nootropics capsules: enhance brain performance: MTC oil, acetylcholine, Ashwagandha, Phosphatidylcholine (found in egg yolks), powdered greens for alkalizing.
* Starve cancer by doing a keto diet or at least low carb because glucose feeds the cancer (avoid sugar and starch in general).
* Swap what flower for almond flour, sugar for erythritol (100%), swap buns and tortilla for lettuce or high fiber tortilla to overset the carbs, look for 4 net carbs or less.
* Time restricted eating is a form of intermittent fasting: Consume all your meals in a window of 6 to maximum 10 hours. ...more

The author really cares about people and has close contact with cancer and cancer patients. He cares about people getting well and overall wellness. I appreciated his overall approach, especially regarding connection, spirituality, and sleep. I also liked that he put a bit in his book about IF- intermittent fasting. IF works. If you have not tried intermittent fasting, I would recommend it.The author references research that illustrates that cancer must have glucose to flourish. By removing sugars and processed carbohydrates that fill the standard American diet (SAD diet), we can starve cancer of its fuel. After reading Gary Taubes' book on sugar, "The Case Against Sugar" - I am convinced that this is the number one issue that we as Americans need to address in order to fix our current collective health disaster in this country.
Like all wellness and diet books, do what works for you. Much of what he says in this book is helpful and will assist you in achieving a healthy weight and overall health. I would probably rank this book as a green/Keto text. It certainly isn't on the range of a carnivore keto text like so many others. He focuses on plant based foods for wellness and stays away from bacon, which to me is an essential part of getting the right kind of fat to have the energy levels essential. His input of shakes and cookies and strawberries dipped in dark chocolate certainly isn't keto. But I get where he is going with this.
His emphasis on cycling on this diet (going keto/then higher carb) indicates that he believes it is not sustainable. He even says as much at the end of the book. There are many doctors and successful people who have sustained this long term. Dr. Ken Berry is one of these, as well as Dr. Tro Kalayjian - look them up on Twitter. If this diet is so balanced at attacking obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, inflammation, and cancer, then why not stay focused on sugar/high carb avoidance?
So for the most part, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to lose weight or just feel better. If you are living in the Western world, chances are you eat a Western diet which is filled with sugars (152 pounds/year), processed & refined carbohydrates, and all kinds of chemicals and unhealthy fats (trans fats). This book is a great place to start on the path to more health.

This book is different from others as he has created a diet plan based on whole, nutritious food. I can't forget the first book I read on Keto which recommended endless butter, bacon, and cheese. Dr. Axe emphasizes healthy fats, avocados, ghee, bone broth, and lots of vegetables. He even gives loose guidelines on Keto-cycling, which turns this into a very practical book for anyone who wants the benefits of ketosis but cannot maintain it for long stretches.
That said, there is a bit of self-promotion in the book that could potentially muddy the great research for skeptics or newbies to the subject. But overall, this is my top book recommendation for going Keto. I also recommend his book, Eat Dirt.

I've been mulling over switching to a Keto lifestyle for some time, and some medical test results last week have made my decision for me. I had already read Dr Axe's Collagen book, and know him to be one of the experts in the field.There is a lot of information here, as well as meal plans and recipes. Because some of the ingredients are very specific, I would've liked some "real world" swaps (can I use KerryGold butter or do I have to use grass-fed?). In addition, there are so many vitamins and supplements mentioned and how they affect the body and the eating plan, and they all sound important, but what do I REALLY need? I would've liked a comprehensive chart listing all supplements and the priority order of starting them. I doubt that many people could drop hundreds of dollars at once.
But overall, there's a lot of great information here and I'll probably reread the book several times on my Keto journey.

So basically it was informative but nothing I would bend over backwards to change what I'm already doing.

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."
...more I have two main complaints with this book ho
I really appreciated how well he broke down the science behind the diet and supported it with different published studies. I have read many books on keto and this is one of the better ones in explaining that aspect. I also greatly enjoyed how he broke down chapters based on various health concerns/goals and gave suggestions for how to amplify results for those conditions. The tailored meal plans were a great addition to the book as well as the recipes.I have two main complaints with this book however. On occasion he seemed to repeat himself throughout the chapters. Mildly annoying, but I could look past it. I can see where some people may be put off by his recommendations for supplements too because of his standing as head of Ancient Nutrition Supplements. I took it more as recommendations and moved on. The thing that bothered me the most is that the recipes do not contain the nutritional breakdown of macros- so it makes it challenging to ensure that one is hitting their goals each day if they deviate from the set plan. I would have loved to have had those included!
That being said I really enjoyed this book and felt like it had sound advice. If you want to gain health on keto, you still have to include greens!! I felt that it was very intuitive keto and just plain made sense. I am excited to add in some of his recommendations to amplify my health.

Having said that, there are some misses here or maybe an an opportunity for a follow up book.. As a vegan, this diet is very hard to stick to and the alternatives are few and far between.
I've browsed many books on the keto diet topic but none I've seen so far have been as accessible to readers as this one is. It is easy to read, very informative, and doesn't scare you off with too much medical jargon. It breaks down the way ketosis works in a way that makes some sense and I think I learnt a lot.Having said that, there are some misses here or maybe an an opportunity for a follow up book.. As a vegan, this diet is very hard to stick to and the alternatives are few and far between. After seeing one vegan with health problems, his advice was for her to take an animal based supplement. This gnawed at my nerves slightly. Even as a vegetarian, things aren't super easy following a ketosis plan and perhaps more information there would be helpful.
I also feel that there should have been way more information on actually starting a keto diet, especially the initial 30 day full on plan. I got that it is strict and will be hard to stick to but there was very little else said about it. For someone advocating a great new way of eating to help people heal, the transition period and the first 30 days should have been the bulk of this book.

An eye-opener book for us because of how we believe in propaganda against FAT.
This is basically a KETO Diet book but this book covers all the main points on a healthy lifestyle.
Here are a few points I have taken
Sugar is like Patrol which burns quickly and gives you quick energy but suddenly dropdown
Fat is like coal which burns slowly and gives you energy all-day
Fasting is very healthy to fight against many diseases and cancer ( studies have proven)
60%

So I read this with some interest. It seems well thought out and has a lot of science behind it which actually makes sense. And research published in The Lancet and JAMA, so not insignificant publications.
The result - I have changed onto a keto diet and the weight so far is coming off. The food is easy to f I read this because I left my kindle at home when I went on holiday. I have been after a proper way of eating that will help me lose weight for a long time now. All efforts so far have failed.
So I read this with some interest. It seems well thought out and has a lot of science behind it which actually makes sense. And research published in The Lancet and JAMA, so not insignificant publications.
The result - I have changed onto a keto diet and the weight so far is coming off. The food is easy to follow and nice, and I can adapt my meals so I still basically eat the same as the rest of the family, just without the carbs!
My only criticism with the book was that it got very repetitive around supplements etc. but it worked also to reinforce various ideas.
I came away thinking that this seemed sensible and worth a try. It wasn't condescending like other diet books, and is more interested in a whole body approach and feeling full rather than starving, which is what all previous diets have been plagued by. The proof will be in the pudding, as they say....

While I take this book with a grain of salt (a lot of claims and individual case studies and not always back up resources), I know a lot of people that follow keto and it works for them. The science seems reasonable and I've been doing IF for many months now. Keto seems a good way to round out the meals I eat. I've read through the book once and plan on going back and taking notes, trying it out and learning more.

I can't do this review without A good book with good information. Axe does a great job of explaining how the keto diet works and the book is pretty motivating. He delved into most of the health conditions this style of eating can help which I really enjoyed finding out about. There are so many more than the few I knew. And he also went into the maintenance phase which if other books have covered I don't remember reading. I am nearing this point and although this was a short chapter it made sense.
I can't do this review without saying I didn't like how he kept talking about how HIS keto eating plan was so much better than the normal one. His keto eating plan is exactly the same. They all call for vegetables,organic food, grass fed beef and butter, etc. Do people follow exactly? No. I would have preferred if he had just stressed the importance of the specifics. ...more

I've always struggled with my weight. I only needed to look at a french fry in order to gain a stone.

I'm benching more weight and feeling slimmer on the waistline.
I've been eating a lot more fat than I'm used to but unlike atkins, the quality of the fats you need is really emphasised in this book. Also, at the back of the book you get some great recipes which work and keep things interesting. I made Keto brownies at the weekend and they're honestly great, which was a shock to me as I was pretty skeptical.
Would recommend.
