Rory Graves: I just prepped all of the meals for week 1. It looks straightforward enough, but I didn't realize I would need to prepare ingredients for the ingredients, so my shopping list didn't match up.
For example, you need to make your own mayonnaise (two eggs) and then use that to make the ranch dressing (takes even more eggs). I ended up making two batches of mayo because I needed it for all of the recipes in week 1. I wish the grocery list and the instructions had included these steps. It made it seem like prep would be simpler than it was and I ended up staying up really late and wasting a lot of dishes because of this.
There are also some spots where it would be easier to recommend someone use a rotisserie chicken or simplify the steps rather than following a different recipe to bake chicken before preparing the salad.
For week 1, make sure to pick up some avocados, as those weren't on the list, and extra eggs (Like, three dozen).
That all being said, this is a useful book and I can only imagine how hard it would be to simplify 15 meals that you are preparing at once onto a few pages. I think it will be really easy to stick with now that the meals are all...

Lisa Plagacha: A wonderful plan book with step-by-step instructions that I found easy to follow for the most part. Makes it so easy to plan keto meals for the week, especially for beginners like me, from breakfast to lunch to dinner. Each recipe lists your macros, making them easy to track over time. I'm fairly new to meal prepping. This Sunday I started shopping for the ingredients (listed easily in the book already for you) at around 10am. It's 3:30pm now, on my feet straight in the kitchen prepping, feet killing me, but I'm done and cleaned up the kitchen, ready to rest. That's the only thing: pretty time-consuming and on-your-feet for an extended period of time, but the result is a really easy week with a clean kitchen and clean keto meals. But wear good shoes if you take long like I did. Enjoy the book. I highly recommend it!

Amy Zachmeyer: First, I should say that I love that these recipes are just meals that are keto friendly and not some sort of keto frankenstein version of carb-y foods. I was able to double recipes and meal prep for my partner and I and feed us for the week. We have completed week one, and have made a second round of meal prep. We did use different recipes than those listed for week two, because we weren't as interested in eating some of the things listed for week two.
I gave this 4 stars because there are some major flaws in the book that you can solve if you already know what you're doing with regards to keto. First thing is portion size. The portions for some of the recipes are strange. For example, the serving during week one for the Keto Egg Salad is 1/3 of the recipe and it comes out to a ton of calories. The thing is, the recipe is great but I would NEVER eat 1/3 of the recipe in one sitting. So, I portioned it out more appropriately and calculated the calories to be appropriate for one meal. I don't understand why it was portioned that way.
The second odd thing was the carb count for one of the week two servings. It said 19 NET carbs for one meal! That will certainly have...

Polly_Pocket: Great book for beginners and pros alike. Lots and lots of recipes for every taste. I use this book day in and day out. I bought this book from the very beginning of starting my keto journey nearly a year ago and to this day like mentioned above I still use it on a daily basis. This book not only covers lots of recipes for different occasions. It gives lots of information on how to prep and store food which is an excellent addition.

Raphaela LaureanRaphaela Laurean: I just started on Keto, so I was looking for a simple introduction. I have been a long time bikini bodybuilder, so I am very familiar with meal prep in general. However, keto focuses on higher fat consumption than I am used to, hence the reason for this purchase. When I first opened the book, she gave a very concise and to the point summary of her background and why she wrote the book.
There are six weeks worth of meal prep meal plans in this book, along with loads of good to know basics about how to recreate some of your favorites in keto form; pancakes, etc.
I love that she took the whole meal prep and then mixed it up and gave you the exact shopping list that you would need (and amounts) to create each week's meal prep. I am going to be doing this meal prep on Sunday and it is beyond easy.

Nadine Carroll: I really like how organized and laid out this cookbook is. I also enjoy the substitutions Liz gives so that not every meal is heavy with dairy. The recipes I have tried so far are delicious! And the ingredients are easy to track down. It's a big help to have a grocery list week to week. I would recommend this cookbook!

Doreen: This book is such a useful fund of information. I am disabled and I do follow a non dairy keto diet. I was finding it a strain having to prepare a meal each evening. The prep at the weekend producing a whole week's, sometimes two weeks worth of meals to freeze working in half hour slots is a god send. Makes me wonder why I didn't do it before. This book just makes it doable. The only moan i have is that the book wasn't better edited as there are quite a few blocks of duplicate pages.

DarrenHook: Keep in mind this is a beginner's book for keto food prep. I dislike grocery shopping and meal planning so this book was good for me the plan and shopping lists are already done for me, which makes budgeting easier also, I like how this book considers those who are training for performance and for maintaining. A couple of weeks of planning for each is enough to get started along with the section of recipes for breakfast lunch and dinner. Thank you for thoughtfully including the measurements and temp conversion charts. I have already been enjoying tasty and satiating meals from this book's recipes.
