This cookbook has been a lifesaver! After meeting with my Reproductive Endocrinologist for the first time about two weeks ago, he advised me that I had an autoimmune disorder that was affecting my fertility. Although the doctor didn't delve much into it, women who are overweight, have endometriosis, asthma, and hypothyroidism are at a high risk of infertility. However, this can apparently be reversed by healing your body. He didn't want me eating any sugar in order to accomplish this, and he put me on a ketogenic diet. He steered me towards Maria Emmerich's books (as well as Jimmy Moore's books). When I left his office I was very overwhelmed, not knowing where to start; so I did as he advised and ordered several of her books. This one was the first one I opened and the wealth of information has proved invaluable. Keeping in mind that this is supposed to be a cookbook, Ms. Emmerich went above and beyond in explaining what a ketogenic diet is and how to get started. It's also a handbook on what a ketogenic lifestyle looks like. What I thought would be impossible for me to do, Ms. Emmerich has made it not just possible, but enjoyable.
The recipes in the book are tasty and easy. You can find recipes to satisfy specific cravings such as an upside down pizza. There are also recipes to satisfy my dessert cravings (although even those have substantially decreased after two weeks of eating Keto!). The only hard-to-find ingredients for me were the Stur water enhancers and the Swerve confectioner's sweetener; however, I ordered both of those through Amazon Prime, so in the end I guess they are not that hard to find!
After two weeks of using this cookbook to plan all of my meals, I lost about 4.5 pounds. On my previous diet I was losing about 1/2 a pound a week. I have since then subscribed to Maria Emmerich's Keto-adapted site. For people like me, who have been put on a ketogenic diet by a doctor, Maria Emmerich has not just made the transition tolerable, but enjoyable. The day I left the endocrinologist's office I cried because if I wanted to ever have a baby I wouldn't be able to eat fruits, sugar, wheat, or starchy vegetables. Now, and thanks to this book and other recipes in Ms. Emmerich's other books, I barely miss these food items (and I feel healthier!). Buy this book, and then check out her web sites (she has two). You won't be disappointed.

I LOVE this cookbook!
Just received the book today and oh my gosh, I find that I cannot put it down! The book is so much more than a cookbook, it is a wealth of information which will no doubt help a lot of people, especially those that are just starting out on this journey. It actually explains the science behind this way of eating, and includes a meal plan which will be especially helpful to those of us that sometimes get overwhelmed.The food (pictures) look absolutely yummy, and one glance at the recipe reassured me that I could replicated it. The recipes are well explained, and some of them even have URLs listed for videos that accompany them. The recipes each have icons that are extremely helpful, one glance can tell me if the recipe is egg free, nut free, dairy free, vegetarian, can be made in a slow cooker, can be made in one pot, or has a single serving option. Since I am the only member in my family that is currently following this diet, the single serving option will be especially useful for me.When this book arrived, my husband rolled his eyes at me and asked "...another cookbook?". He then picked it up to skim through and almost immediately said "oooh, we'll have to try that chimichurri chicken!". For the record, this is my very first ketogenic specific cookbook and I loved it so much that I came back online and ordered the kindle version for my best friend. Well done, Maria...absolutely well done!Update: I've had this book for almost a week now, the recipes are FANTASTIC. I just made (and ate) the Key lime Fat Bomb (pg 340), ...it was absolutely spot on!!!! 98 calories, 9.4g fat, 0.3g carbs, 3.3g protein. (plus a bit of cream on it that I added). It TASTES absolutely sinful!
