Keto Diet Meal Prep Book
Courtesy
If you've been on the internet at any point in the last 10 years, odds are you've heard of the keto diet. ICYMI, it's a buzzy food plan among celebs like Halle Berry, Jenna Jameson, Vanessa Hudgens, and more, and it's helped all kinds of people reach their goal weights. The thing is, cooking delicious, keto-friendly recipes can present some challenges for beginners, especially when you're so used to a carb-inclusive diet.
That said, here's a quick refresher: Following the keto diet means that per day, 60 to 75 percent of your calories come from fat, 15 to 30 percent of your calories come from protein, and only 5 to 10 percent of your calories come from carbs. This usually means eating no more than 50 grams of carbs per day. If that sounds impossible, don't stress and keep reading! TBH, there are plenty of keto diet cookbooks and guides for beginners that take all the guesswork out of eating keto.
Lucky for you, Women's Health rounded up the best keto cookbooks that you can order online. (You're welcome!) Just pick the one that resonates most with you and your lifestyle (see: southern food, dessert, bread, one-pot meals, etc.), and you'll be meal prepping yummy, keto-friendly dishes like it's NBD in no time. Read below for the 15 absolute best keto cookbooks for beginners out there in 2021. Your taste buds (and bod) will thank you later.
