Anyone who’s watched Jersey Shore knows Vinny Guadagnino and his friends. You know their loyalty to each other. You know how they like to have a good time. And you know how important it is to them to look and feel good. In that tradition, Vinny shares his secrets of nutrition and staying healthy in The Keto Guido Cookbook.

This cookbook is packed with information about the keto diet, including a section on the science of the clean keto lifestyle from health coach Karissa Long. Vinny himself has done lots of research on keto , as he’s been following it for years, and he includes a list of resources, from podcasts and documentaries to websites and cookbooks. But if you’re looking to get started with keto, The Keto Guido Cookbook has tips, over 100 simple recipes, and even a week of meal ideas to get you kick-started.

With recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinners as well as snacks and even desserts, this cookbook is packed with classic keto recipes, super simple recipes for days when you don’t have a lot of time, and even comfort foods tweaked to fit this lifestyle. You can eat keto and still enjoy Golden Pancakes, Chicken Wings (Vinny makes them with an orange-ginger sauce), New England Clam Chowder, Shrimp Scampi, Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore, Classic Sausage and Peppers, Flaky Beef Empanadas, and even New York Cheesecake.

The flavor palate skews Mediterranean (my personal favorite), as Vinny and his family are Sicilian, but there are also options that include the spices from other regions as well as encouragement for trying different flavor profiles and sugar-free sauces. Vinny also includes recipes for vegetarians, for those who want to ditch dairy, and for using an air fryer. This cookbook has something for every taste and lifestyle, for those who have been living the keto lifestyle for a while and or those who haven’t yet taken the leap but want to.

Vinny knows that making this change is challenging, so he offers some basic tips to help out. Don’t get overwhelmed by counting the macros (the percentages of fat, protein, and carbs that are the basis of keto), plan ahead but remember to vary the menus so it’s sustainable for you. Most importantly, listen to your body and eat only when you’re hungry. And like any good Guido, he encourages readers to work out, to maintain a healthy overall lifestyle.

Fans of Jersey Shore and anyone interested in a clean keto lifestyle can use The Keto Guido Cookbook as a way to get started or as encouragement and ideas for maintaining the keto lifestyle. Anyone who takes to the time to read this for inspiration and to try out the recipes won’t be disappointed.
