If you've cooked (and eaten) your way through our keto plan, not to mention the countless other amazing keto recipes on our site, it's possible you're going to need some more keto content to work through. Don't worry—we know a good place or two to start.

Unsure if the keto diet is right for you? The diet, which is low in carbs and high in fats, has become popular in recent years, especially as some of your favorite celebrities have hopped on the bandwagon. Folks like Halle Berry and Vinny Guadagnino from Jersey Shore have changed their eating habits to be in line with keto, so you can take their word as a first-hand perspective of the diets pros and cons. Keto can be intimidating, especially if you're a fan of pastas and bread—and who isn't! But rest assured that there are so many ways to adjust recipes to fit your lifestyle without skimping on taste. In order to make the most of ketogenic eating, you need a trusty cookbook to give you all the pointers.
