Ketotarian by Dr. Will Cole

You know me, I love books.
Most recently I read Ketotarian. And, while it wasn't the best written book, it really spoke, no, it YELLED to me.
It focuses on a "plant heavy" approach to a low carb lifestyle. The recipes are mostly plant based, with some optional "just add fish" recipes.
I like to keep my carbs lower than the average dieter, and seek out "good carbs". Hubs is mostly vegetarian. THIS book gave me lots of ideas on how to eat a plant focused diet while keeping the carbs low.
Worth a read for vegetarians, or vegetarian wanna bes. The only part that didn't resonate with me was the removal of dairy. (That's not going to happen). NOT a vegan pushing book at all, which is good, he's just not a fan of dairy for inflammatory reasons.

Thanks for the review. I think I just might pick this one up!
It's kind of gratifying to see a book that supports the way I eat (well, I do eat dairy). I get so much negativity in other forums because I always push people to eat more veggies and not sweat the carbs. I eat up to 50g/carbs a day and produce ketones. I'm off of a ton of meds and down 34lbs in just over 2 months. So, I'm not changing anything I'm doing any time soon2 -

I found some "ketotarian recipes" on google...but they don't really seem very plant based...they all have some kind of meat, egg, or cheese...0

The audible version of the book came with a .pdf with lots of recipes. If you PM me an email address I can send it to you.tcunbeliever wrote: »I found some "ketotarian recipes" on google...but they don't really seem very plant based...they all have some kind of meat, egg, or cheese...
