10 Best Keto Diet Books UK 2023

The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners is one of the best books for newbies. Amy Ramos turns a complicated and initially restrictive diet plan into an accessible, actionable guide to follow. More than just a recipe book, this is a master resource for keto-ers, with meal plans, shopping lists, pantry guides, and great tips and advice.

As well as 75 recipes, the focus here is on introducing the fundamentals of the ketogenic diet and explaining the best ways to go about dieting. It also includes handy little charts which illustrate the nutritional information, and swap charts to make following this diet as painless as possible. The perfect starter kit! 

With a 5-star rating and over 1000 positive reviews, the Craveable Keto 5 lives up to its reputation. The recipes in these pages will certainly not make you feel like you're on a diet. Amazingly, this book enables you to still enjoy your favourites by making everything from chocolate chip dough balls to classic fish and chips.

It's indulgence at its best, yet the whole book is entirely focused on losing weight and supporting your health and wellbeing. There's also a considerable guide before the long list of recipes which includes tips to help you lose weight and stick to the low-carb diet longterm.

Being the author of multiple keto-based books, Maria Emmerich's knowledge-pool is one of the most comprehensive. Following on from 'The Ketogenic Cookbook' and 'The 30-Day Ketogenic Cleanse', the next in her series is this Keto Comfort Foods which is a compilation of all of her most heart-warming, comforting dishes.

With over 170 recipes, this is one of the largest collections on our list and includes scrumptious favourites like cinnamon rolls, steak fries and tiramisu. The book is really in-depth with the recipes giving you all the tips and advice you need to follow a low-carb diet plan.

With the entire book geared towards meal-prep, this is your pick if you're keen on saving time! The recipes incorporate batch-cooking, planning for the week, and using simple ingredients in a variety of ways – all without taking an entire afternoon to make. 

FlavCity have made sticking to the diet simple by including recipes for grab-and-go food, which is perfect if you have limited time on your hands. And to top it all off, the recipes are incredibly delicious, offering everything from breakfast bagels to stuffed chicken breasts – maybe that's why it's got five stars on Amazon!

Leanne Vogel does something a little different with her book. Instead of merely presenting the recipes and lifestyle guidelines for you to follow, she realises that every individual is different so accounts for multiple substitutions. This provides a much more customisable approach which can be tailored to suit your preferences.

This book does away with the restrictive feeling that naturally accompanies beginners and enables you to dig a little deeper to create a personalised nutrition plan for yourself. If you don't know where to begin, The Keto Diet also includes five 28-day meal plans to get you through your first few months. 

Who said dieting meant living on soups and salads? This book proves that just isn't the case. Inside these tempting pages, you'll find an array of traditional comfort recipes from the deep south. This does mean that some of the ingredients are more common in the States, but the recipes are fantastic all the same! 

Yes, there's pan-fried chicken, cheesecake and sticky ribs, but this is not just a recipe book – it's a keto guide to life. Containing a comprehensive guide to keto dieting with meal plans, pantry lists, shopping lists and nutritional information, it's excellent for beginners.

Beyond Simply Keto is a great pick for those new to ketogenic dieting. This book not only contains over 100 recipes, but they are easy, simple and most of them are quick to get on the table. The book also includes a beginners guide to keeping a low-carb diet.

Not only does the author discuss weight loss and physical wellbeing, but she also explains how following a keto diet can improve your overall wellbeing and mental health. It's a particularly good choice if you're looking for something with a self-improvement edge, but might be a bit heavy for some.

The Easy 5-Ingredient ketogenic diet cookbook is one of the best choices for those who are short on time. All 125 recipes are speedy, easy, and made using ingredients that are readily available at local shops and supermarkets.

The meals contain just five simple ingredients with instructions and guidance that removes all the fluff and gets straight to the point! The majority of recipes can also be whipped up in one pot or container which saves on washing up time, too, and also have the added bonus of enabling you to swap out ingredients to suit your preferences.

Suppose you've already covered the basics and have successfully incorporated the ketogenic diet into your life – your focus now is probably finding new recipes. If that's the case, then this is the best option for you. It has an astonishing 500 recipes, making this an excellent investment for those who have run out of ideas.

The downsides to this book are that the recipes don't include any pictures. Whilst this isn't wholly necessary, some people prefer to have an image to use as a base. Also, it's more geared towards a US audience in terms of the ingredients and measurements it uses. But if you're already used to the ways of keto dieting, then this shouldn't be too much of a problem.

The Bacon and Butter Cookbook has over 150 mouthwatering concoctions, which are helpfully split into sections such as Meaty Mains and Keto Classics. But what's extra special are the extra sections on snacks, sauces and condiments. They also helpfully add the nutritional values of each measurement next to the ingredients of the meal.

Another bonus is the section on social occasions. It includes how to stick to your diet when you're with a group or at a party – very handy! These recipes are geared more towards a two-person home rather than a family, so whilst you can double or triple them, bear this in mind if you often cook for more.
