The book has a logical and easy to follow format. Chapters 1-2 cover the background of weight loss planning (including a pantry staples lists and tools and supplies) as well as a very general layman-accessible discussion of the mechanics of ketogenesis itself. Chapters 3 includes a 14 day meal plan for a quick start. There is a lot of good advice in these chapters which are applicable to any meal prep and planning sessions, not just for weight loss. The author also includes some logical pointers about containers, ingredients, and supplies. The recipe chapters are arranged thematically: breakfast & smoothies, salads soups & sandwiches, snacks appetizers & savory fat bombs, mains, desserts, staples & recipe ingredients.
The meal plan chapters include a surprisingly varied selection of multiple day to weekly meal plans with different tastes and representing different world cuisines: Italian, American, Asian, and more.
The recipes have their ingredients listed bullet style in a sidebar. Measurements are given in US standard only. Special tools and ingredients are also listed, along with yields and cooking directions. Most of the ingredients are easily sourced at any moderately well stocked grocery store. The book also includes a short author bio, and a metric conversion chart, but lacks any index or general ingredients index.
My one small quibble with the book is that the recipes are mostly not photographed. There are some photos, and they're clear and attractive, but they only represent about 5% of the recipes.
Four stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
