The keto diet can help you too
Why do some people find the keto diet difficult?
When first starting the keto diet, many beginners find they are eating the same foods over and over again.
This leads them to feel that the keto diet is restrictive, or unable to meet all their nutritional needs.
Fortunately, neither of these conclusions is correct.
The keto diet is able to meet all your nutritional needs when followed correctly.
Further, there is an almost never ending range of foods and meals that are keto friendly.
There is no need to eat the same few meals far too often.
When you spend a little time reading recipes and learning a few basic cookery skills you’ll be amazed.
Not only does the keto diet allow for an amazing range of meals, they are super tasty too.
Feel like a steak with a great keto sauce, a side of chili prawns? You won’t want to go back to your present diet when you see how good eating keto can be.
With that in mind we at living well with keto have put together some of the most popular keto diet books for beginners.

If you’re vegan and wanting to benefit from the keto diet, this book will be for you.
A Vegan keto diet plan can be challenging to follow, and this book will show you how to keep on track.

This is another specialist keto cookbook by the number one best-selling author of The Hormone Fix.

The unique nutritional balance of the Keto-Green 16 diet also boosts mood.
The recipes in this book also have versions for vegetarians and vegans which is a nice touch too.
It also promises to cut out your chances of the keto flu. So if this is an issue for you, you may want to consider following the food suggestions in this book.
