The Keto Diet: The Complete Guide to a High Fat Diet, with More than 125 Delectable Recipes and 5 Meal Plans to Shed Weight, Heal Your Body, and Regain Confidence is written by Leanne Vogel to introduce readers to the diet that uses the principle of nutritional ketosis to help them achieve their ideal weight, get well from chronic health problems, and have better health. It is distinct from other books on Keto Diet due to Vogel's modified approach to make the diet work for different kinds of people.

Vogel's book tells readers that though eating fat may sound troubling, she assures us that fat has been proven by science to be nourishing and healing. Apart from facilitating weight loss and maintaining ideal weight, fat intake has helped people recover from unhealthy food cravings, physiological and mental imbalances, infertility, among others. Vogel introduces her version of the Keto Diet, calling it the Fat Fueled Approach. She focuses on nourishment and healing the body, as opposed to the popular Keto approach that stresses counting carbs and tracking food intake. She explains the principles involved in the Keto Diet, particularly nutritional ketosis, and how and why this works. She uses her background in nutrition to explain the body's need for macro and micronutrients and how the Keto Diet figures in it. Advice on how to transition to a high fat low carb diet is given, with a full description of the foods that are recommended, and the unhealthy foods to be avoided. Recipes are given, along with practical tips for food preparation.

The book is divided into four parts. Part one defines and explains what the Ketogenic Diet is, and how the body benefits from it. It compares and differentiates Keto from other diets like Paleo and low-carb. It gives a list of signs that indicate the body needs more fat, and therefore a shift to Keto Diet. It further details the Diet by citing how the standard Keto Diet can be modified to accommodate the various needs of people who will follow the Diet. Vogel says there are fifty shades of the Keto Diet which provides many ways to achieve ketosis. She gives advice on how to personalize Keto and explains what to expect, fasting and its relation to Keto , and how the Diet goes well with working out .

Part two focuses on how to eat the Keto way. It gives a rundown of the fats, proteins, and carbohydrates that are recommended for the Diet. Less-nourishing foods and therefore low priority meals are also identified These include grains, legumes, dairy, sugars, processed food, among others. It discusses food quality, power foods, food lists, and other important elements of the diet. Part three shares tips and strategies for preparing Keto meals in the kitchen. It includes meal plans and shopping lists. Part four lists the 125 recipes that include nutrient information, preparation time, vegan alternatives, storage tips, and other options like coconut-free and nightshade-free.

Vogel includes a personal account of her health problems and diet struggles to stay healthy and explains how and why Keto healed her. Other stories of people who have tried Keto through Vogels help and succeeded in health recovery and weight loss are included in between chapters. The books pages are made colorful and readable through a variety of pictographs and graphic illustrations. These make it easy for readers to understand the technical aspects of nutrition and keep track of important information. A recipe quick reference and recipe index make it easy for readers to find details about the foods. Sources for Vogels research are listed. Vogel writes with humor and has a very light and easy tone. This puts the reader at ease as the author tries to tackle the questions and objections related to eating fat. She cites a lot of personal stories about her transition into the Diet which readers can relate to, including her struggle with weight gain, staying healthy, and mental and psychological difficulties. Appealing photos of the recipes are provided. Her emphasis on whole and organic foods give vegans lots of choices. She uses lists to emphasize essential points she wants to stress. For example, she draws a list of health symptoms for people who need to adopt the Keto Diet. She has a list of signs that show the body is effectively experiencing nutritional ketosis. There is also a list of health symptoms related to eating grain foods.

Leanne Vogel is the bestselling author of four books on health and nutrition. Her website Healthful Pursuit provides advice and resources for people who follow the keto diet. Her Youtube channel is a high-ranking resource for ketogenic nutrition. She is a graduate of the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. She started following the Keto Diet in 2014 which she says, transformed her life. This transformation included her having lost 20 pounds resulting from a hormonal imbalance, healing from ADHD, recovering from eight years of early-onset menopause, regaining balanced moods, healing from brain fog, low energy, problematic skin, hair, and nails; food cravings, and food obsession. Her self-confidence improved. Vogel admits that she had bulimia starting when she was 13 years old. This transformed into orthorexia which made her obsessed with eating the right foods. This resulted to panic attacks if she could not prepare her own food. Her periods stopped as a result of her diet imbalance. A naturopath suggested that she change her diet to a low-carb one, a suggestion that she initially rejected. Her nutrition professors warned her about low-carb diets being unwise and nonsensical. She also knew low-carb diets as being reliant on sugars, mayonnaise, and sodas, all of which she found unhealthy. She came across keto diet on instagram, and being desperate for solutions, she did her research on it. She read the book Keto Clarity written by Jimmy Moore and her journey towards health started from there.
