Adams produced a wonderful book which explains the dynamics ofketones in diets and provides plenty of delicious preparations likeSteak and Eggs, Tequila Chicken, Reuben Casserole, CameroonsBrochette, Stuffed Shrimp and Squash Pancakes.Each preparation displays the preparation of thefood pictorially until the final dish is completed.Ingredients are explained at length along with therecommended portions.The author explains what a ketonic diet accomplishes. Essentially,ketones produced by the liver shift from glucose to fatutilization . Insulin levels are regulated at a lower level.Certain foods should be avoided like breads, pastas and cereal.In this reviewer's experience pita bread is thinner and is a bettersubstitute for traditional sandwich breads like the "foot longs"offered in restaurants.  In addition, stevia is a good substitutefor sugar. Adequate hydration is needed so drink plenty of waterand have substitutes like broth to help with electrolytic support.Overall, the Adams cookbook is a very helpful resource fordiet planning. At the current price, the acquisition is a top value.
