The Keto Reset Diet: Reboot Your Metabolism in 21 Days and Burn Fat Forever Hardcover – October 3, 2017
by Mark Sisson

This is a great book for those who may already be a little familiar with keto or have tried it and "failed."I know that I thought I could do it all on my own, and I was wrong.. However, you can absolutely start here, and get the information you need to do it right.
This book lays out a plan for how you are going to get from point A to point B - and it is possibly the most sensible plan I've ever seen. Sisson offers a sustainable lifestyle. He teaches you how to gradually and safely enter ketosis, how to adapt, and then offers thoughts on where to go next to make this a whole life plan.
Sisson's approach is one of a seasoned coach, which is surely what many readers are going to need to help them make that lasting change in their health. You leave this book with an action plan, including a test to know when to go full keto (so you have no doubt when you're ready), and the motivation to believe you can do it.
There are two different meal plans inside and many fantastic, nutrient-dense recipes.
I'm not trying to take away from all the positives too much, but there were a couple of problems I did notice in the book. One, there were some inconsistent messages on how to execute the 21 day primal diet leading into the keto reset. For example, it mentioned no grains but then later suggests eating grains like wild rice. For those well versed in Sisson's primal diet, you will understand what this 21 day prep phase is supposed to look like, despite a couple of contradictions in this book.

I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who is curious about keto and anyone who could be well served by trying it out
