The Ketogenic Diet for Athletes: The Ultimate Guide to Improving Athletic Performance

This book is essentially a summary of a bunch of other books on similar topics. I would recommend the ketogenic athlete book by Phinney and Volek (which I also have) over this one, because it has a lot of information on original research and it explains things in more detail. This book is shorter and gets most of its information from just quoting other people's books (such as the Phinney and Volek one I just mentioned) and often refers you to those other sources instead of fully explaining the concepts. But as a succinct, not-too-deep summary, this book does fit the bill. It's written almost like a long blog post or magazine article rather than a detailed and well-researched book.One big issue I had with it, though, is that the author reveals towards the end of the book that she herself had only been on the diet for 4-5 weeks when she wrote it, so it's not exactly an expert's opinion. Many times she talks about how easy something is (like finding variety in the diet) and I would venture to say that she doesn't really have the cred to back herself up. So this book is basically a quick intro to ketogenic diets for athletes that is written by a newbie. But it's fine if that's what you're looking for.

I’m glad I happened upon this book. Understanding the scone of keto and exercising was very informative and interesting. I’d recommend this book to anyone who is curious about the they why and how of keto and how it can play a valuable role in training/exercise.I’m just a person who wants to get in better shape and be more active.

Finally a book that combines nutritional ketogenic eating with correct training protocols. I have been in a state of ketosis for 10 months and the results have been phenomenal. Ketogenic Diet for Athletes is a great summary of what really works for those who want to be an athlete and stay healthy. Charlotte recommends the training methods of Phil Maffetone, something I have used for over 15 years. Ketogenic living and low heart rate training works if you have knowledge, patience, and refuse to listen to others when they say you are "nuts".

Is to has helped me drop several pounds off my weight. I needed to know how to in incorporate it into my exercise. This book helped clear up so many things ! Thank you !

I started keto and lost weight quick. I started my ironman training and was freaking out on what to eat keto to stay on course. So I was trying all kinds of so called keto drinks for energy and I kept having less energy and started gaining weight back. After reading this book I realized I need to train without all the drinks and work my way into ketoses again and see how I preform on my own fat.

A very helpful quick reference guide for athletes.I wish it had gone more indepth about certain things, but it had some other things in it that I hadn't even thought about that I found super helpful - especially the MAF process!!

I thought the book gave a good overview of a ketogenic diet for athletes, however it was not very detailed. Most of the information could be found for free online, but it did save some time. Overall, not bad as an overview. Glad I paid less for the Kindle version.

Excellent for Beginners, Like an English professor once told me when writing an article, It’s like a Ladies Skirt should be, “ It’s Long enough to cover the subject, But Short enough to keep it interesting “

Not a lengthy book. Easy to read with good information. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone interested in the keto diet.

This a fantastic book to understand the benefits and common mistakes many make when first starting a keto diet. Charlotte provides all the necessary information and guidance to plan a correct ketogenic diet for your training regime and competition. She was also kind enough to respond to emails I asked for further advice. A great read from a caring and experienced athlete.

Loved this book. Had loads of information given concisely. There is so much information out there and I found that this book was very clear and answered many question. Well worth a read.

Very helpful to me just starting out on a Keto diet - thank you Charlotte!

Informative with many good references, but reads like a undergraduate dissertation. Not sure how much I trust some of the advice.
