EventsIt’s back! Our popular holiday gift magazine
, medical review by Dr. Bret Scher, MD
in About membership 
If you were a Diet Doctor member last year, you may remember that just before US Thanksgiving 2019 we debuted a beautiful, inspiring seasonal e-publication! The Diet Doctor Plus: Get Festive — Your Holiday Keto Guide was our first digital magazine promoting a healthy, keto-friendly holiday season. It turned out to be incredibly popular.
Well, since November 2019 we have nearly 17,000 new members who haven’t yet seen this downloadable, flippable publication. Now, it is available again as a gift exclusively for all Diet Doctor members.
Of course, 2020 Christmas and New Year’s will be different than last year for most of us. We never could have anticipated a global pandemic dominating the past year — or this holiday season.
So we did a few small updates of the 2019 magazine to keep it in line with likely smaller gatherings and Covid-19 realities. The world has changed, but good keto food, support, and keeping healthy is more important than ever.
The magazine gives tips and tricks on how to stay keto and low carb from Thanksgiving through New Year’s. Plus, Get Festive — Your Holiday Keto Guide is full of fun features, sidebars, gift ideas, and of course, seasonal recipes from the Diet Doctor kitchen.
We have fabulous appetizers of stuffed mushrooms, oven-baked cheese spreads, warm and spicy mulled wine, and much more. Then, we highlight the best Thanksgiving and Christmas side dishes like browned butter cauliflower mash, low-carb stuffing, and low-carb pumpkin pie.
Some of the most-loved recipes were tasty new creations last year by Jill Wallentin, our head of recipes, and recipe creator/keto influencer Kristie Sullivan. They included a seasonal kale and goat cheese salad, cheesy pull-apart bread, a hearty sausage-crusted quiche, and a decadent no-bake chocolate cake.
How about low-carb gifts? We’ve got pumpkin spice cookies, low-carb chocolate truffles, seed crackers, and paté. They all make tasty presents even for non-keto friends and family.
Worried about navigating the holidays and festive traps? Kristie teams up with our medical director, Dr. Bret Scher, to provide tips for holiday conundrums, like what to do if you’ve got the winter blues and craving carbs, or how to say no to loved ones who push high-carb foods.
Last but not least, we share some of our own time-tested holiday tips and traditions, where you get a look at how we manage the holidays ourselves. It’s a behind-the-scenes glimpse at what works for some of us at Diet Doctor.
We are so happy we can share this special publication with you once more. We hope you’ll be inspired.
This magazine wouldn’t be possible without your generous support. Thanks to all of our members for making this happen.

Great! We hope you enjoy!
Awesome, Ellen! So glad it's been helpful for you!
It's a 30 page .pdf that should all download as one file. If yours was not downloaded correctly, and doesn't work from the link above, please email contact@dietdoctor.com for assistance.
I hope you and your family enjoy it!
I just tried it again and the download seems to be working fine.
Couple of questions: Are you logged in as a member?
Did you click the download arrow in the upper left corner and then save the PDF to an easily accessible spot on your computer?
Send to support@dietdoctor.com the list of steps you are taking, with a screenshot if possible, and we will try to figure out why it is not working for you.
It will add a nice topic for conversations with friends.

All of the recipes link to their page on the website where you can toggle to get the metric measurements.
This is a very large file, and we offer the online viewing as well as the download option by clicking the arrow at the top left of the preview window. Also, just a note that I did reply to your email and sent the file that way as well. I hope that works!
The titles of the recipes are hyperlinks to their corresponding pages on our website. From there, you can toggle to metric. Enjoy!
But let's be honest, last year you got the same comments about the missing metric units. A year later nothing's changed. I think that's a poor job.
This is a beautiful magazine but as someone else has said, no use to me as I don't use cups and measures but like to weigh everything. It isn't the same at all having to look up a recipe on the main website, - it completely defeats the object of having a seasonal magazine with recipes in one place. I too was wanting to print it out, but there is no point as many of the measures are meaningless to me.
Please make sure you are signed into your account and then you will be able to open the link with the holiday guide.
You can click the download arrow at the top right of the preview window and print it from your computer.
Like Mary, I'm slightly frustrated by the fact that the book uses US measures - given that metric is set as my default setting when I log in, would it be possible for that default setting to feed into the ebook?
Thanks for your feedback! I shared it with our team.
