Dr. Colbert's Keto Zone Diet

Lots of good information. I like the fact that the author said that diet information is always changing and that in 10 years half of what we know now will be proven wrong. With that in mind it is a fact that a high protein diet is the healthiest because the results have been around a long time. This book refers to Dr Atkins a lot as the Keto diet is basically the same but with more modern information. I think one of the most important things written in this book is that sugar is sugar. Your body doesn't know the difference. We are sucked in by advertising that says no high fructose corn syrup etc, but metabolically its the same as any another type of sugar. We need to eat food in its freshest most natural state, and avoid all processed and genetically altered foods.

Interesting concepts. I am just becoming interested in learning more about a Keto diet, sounds quite a bit like the Atkins diet of old. Seems like there are tried and true results, not really sure if I believe the cancer fighting abilities of a Keto diet, but hopefully will not need to find out.
Sounds like something I may incorporate in the future.

My Family Doctor suggested that I go on a Ketosis Diet, another low carb diet, to help with my blood work that showed I was pre-diabetic and the fact that I can not loose weight. Hearing the word ketosis, I was skeptical This book was so easy to understand what the Keto Diet is and how it can benefit your health and why it is so important to go on this diet. I had never heard about MCT Oil before and agree it is needed in the Keto Diet. If you are thinking about trying a ketosis diet, I highly recommend this book.

Excellent book! Easy to understand, easy to follow and makes nutritional sense. Dr. Colbert is a trusted resource for health & nutrition. I know his books will guide his readers to make the smartest & wisest choices for those seeking direction about what to eat and why.

Dr. Colbert's Keto Zone Diet is a very informative book for anyone who is curious about the new Keto Zone diet phase. It includes a lot of scientific information on why the diet is good for people, especially people who have inflammatory diseases and cancer. The author even goes through the history of diet fads and shows why most Americans have a hard time embracing this "high fat" diet.


Notes about the author/writing style: I enjoyed Dr. Colbert's writing style. Although he is obviously very knowledgeable about dieting and the science behind it, he didn't make his writing style too complicated for those who are not in the medical field.


What I loved about the book: I walked away from this book with a better understanding of this diet that I have been hearing a lot about. I feel like I will be better informed to tell others about this diet as well as making a decision on whether I would like to pursue this diet.


What I disliked about the book: There really wasn't anything that I disliked about this book. It was a good combination of scientific facts, history, and practical ways (even menus and recipes) to incorporate this diet into a lifestyle.



Who should read this book? Anyone who is contemplating going on the Keto diet should read this book. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with cancer. I had no idea that the typical high carb diet was very detrimental to anyone with cancer as opposed to a diet high in fat (low carbs) that would actually extend the lives of most people with cancer.

My grandson went on this diet and I wanted to understand how it works. I have read several other books and this one was the most clear and concise. Dr. Colbert explained some things in more detail that were glossed over in the other books. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting a clearer picture of the diet's working and the benefits
I requested and am glad I was approved, a copy of this book from NetGalley.

I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of this book via Netgalley.com before it's September release. I devoured it in one setting. Dr. Colbert really breaks down why getting in the "Keto Zone" helps you to lose weight effortlessly. The idea is to have a diet consisting of mostly good fats that your body will in turn burn off. I plan to give this a try and see if I can finally get these stubborn pounds I gained from pregnancies off once and for all. Dr. Colbert's Keto Zone Diet is worth a read for anyone interested in the science behind a high fat/low carb diet or anyone wanting something effective to do for weight loss or other health benefits.

I have read more diet books then I should probably admit. I have heard a lot about the Keto diet and read quite a bit about it online. However this book gives real information about how this diet works and the steps one should take to be successful on this diet.

I am anxious to give this a try however I am a little nervous about giving up sugar (I am a bit addicted) but it is worth the try.

brilliant really informative and makes sense. why didn't I find out about the ketogenic diet earlier? he explains it easily and in layman's terms.

An excellent source for those looking into the Keto diet. I am planning on trying this, and will use this book as my source for information.

This book was super informative and easy to understand. I'd heard about this type of eating, but never quite understood what all it entailed. Dr. Colbert's method is completely doable, and I will definitely start incorporating his practices into my daily life. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking to get a solid footing in the keto style of eating.

I think there was a lot of information that is clearer in this book compared to others I have read. It allowed me to understand the popular diet better than just the foundation of it and that was useful. I personally don't think it's right for me but I think this book would give good information to those who want a better idea of the inner workings of the diet and how it helps you with your lifestyle because it's not just a diet but a genuine lifestyle change.

You can only lose weight if you follow the Keto Zone Diet.

Dr. Colbert's Keto Zone Diet is easy to read and to easy to apply. In a nutshell, the diet is high in fat, low in carbohydrates and moderate in protein. Here is what I especially like about this book:
Dr Colbert explains the Keto Zone Diet in an easy to understand way, without going into too many details.
He lists Keto Zone Diet friendly foods at the end of the book and even provides a basic starter shopping list. The listed food is budget friendly and easy to obtain.
You will also find general meal suggestions instead of complicated recipes that never get used.
Dr Colbert made me aware of the problematic IF fats which are used in many processed foods.
Personally, I have been on a ketogenic diet for 3 months now and I have lost 20 pounds so far. My meals are satisfying and I do not get hungry between meals. My weight loss is starting to slow down and I will use Dr Colbert's meal suggestions and tips to fine tune my diet for continuous weight loss until I reach my goal weight and for long-term weight maintenance. For me the diet works and Dr. Colbert's book makes following it a breeze.

A great book to read about what to follow during Keto diet and the benefits of it......... Wonderful book.

After trying to lose some weight over the summer, and failing miserably, I came across this book by Don Colbert. I thought I might as well take a look through it. What I found was very surprising to me. I never jumped on the give-up-all-carbs bandwagon, although I don’t go overboard with them. After reading about the positive results Dr. Don Colbert’s patients have had with weight loss AND improved health, I think this is definitely worth trying. He claims that it has actually helped people with some very serious health issues get better, and in some cases they are freed from their problems. The list is astonishing and includes Parkinson’s, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, sleep disorders, ADHD, ADD, blood pressure, fatty liver, IBS, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, arthritis, joint aches and more.

The book offers plenty of reasons that a switch to the Keto Zone works. A shopping list is included, and there are enough choices that you can mix and match the options for meals.
