From the Publisher
This book is the first of its kind: a nutritional guidebook for keto explicitly written with the female body in mind.
Women are biologically different from men—from our body composition to our cyclical hormonal fluctuations and right down to our chromosomes.
The way our bodies burn fuel is dissimilar: Our metabolism seesaws from week to week, and our eating behavior is primarily driven by hormones that urge us to indulge beyond our needs on a regular basis.
We face different challenges than men, so why follow the same dieting advice? This book aims to bridge the gap between keto diet “rules” and what women restricting carbohydrates need—setting realistic expectations, variations, and actionable strategies along the way. This book will teach you how to develop increased metabolic flexibility using the keto diet and how to tailor your way of eating for optimal fat loss, hormonal balance, and long-term success.
In other words, you will learn to make keto work for you.
Part one of this book teaches you about the keto diet and fat-burning metabolism, while myth busting common misconceptions and addressing diet dogma. This sets the stage for you to confidently approach your diet, avoid the pitfalls, and put the naysayers to rest.
In part two, you will learn how female energy dynamics and hormones can make or break your effort to lose weight. You will learn how the keto diet and calories coexist, how the menstrual cycle and menopause affect metabolism and eating behavior, and how the keto diet can be used to bring harmony to your hormones.
The final part of the book focuses on implementation, bringing everything you have learned in the previous chapters to life with easy-to-follow strategies and instructions. You will discover a clear plan of action to improve your body composition and heal hormonal imbalances one step at a time.

Fritters are one of my absolute favorite things to whip up when I’m feeling like a hot meal but don’t have much time to cook. You can use any kind of precooked meat, seafood, or even grated veggies with different herbs and spices to add variety.
Sheet Pan Wonton Meatballs and Bok Choy
Here, mushroom and coconut flour replace the breadcrumbs and wheat flour found in traditional meatballs to reduce the carbs and increase the nutrient density. With each meatball bursting with umami flavor, this meal is a tried and true family favorite—even my kids love it!

This Tex-Mex meatloaf delivers a spicy kick to a comfort food classic. Meatloaf is always a hit at dinner, and the leftovers are great meal prep material for weekday lunches!
