Don’t do it. Did it for a few years and now I’m working with a nutritionist to heal my gut. I now have a very restricted tolerance till I heal. My nutritionist has had numerous other clients from the same keto program. [Name Removed] used to call herself a weight loss coach, funny how now she’s a metabolic nutrition expert. Show details
Follow-up · I got to a stage where there were very few foods I could tolerate without a reaction. Limiting food groups resulted in the micro biome of my gut being reduced, my nutritionist had other clients from this program, if you don’t have a sensitive gut that’s ok but many do , I lost more weight when I had to go low fodmap than I ever did on this plan.… Read more
This is such an incredible program. Deb is a wealth of information and goes into deep dives in regards to all sorts of various health aspects. Ignore the reviews regarding disinformation and how restrictive they perceive the program to be. Some people simply can’t cope with the truth and maintain the safety of cognitive dissonance. They are also… Read more
not willing to do the work to enable success…. They will stay mentally stuck and physically unhealthy. Closed minds are dangerous. It is clear that the people who have written bad reviews don’t actually understand how the program works, nor have they immersed themselves in it long enough to have long term success.
The coaching program that is available is just incredible and adds an extra layer of support with weekly meetings where mindset, progress, accountability and many other topics are discussed. So much cheaper than paying for any kind of therapy and personally I have found it to be just as, if not more effective!
This is hands down the most comprehensive and supportive health program I’ve ever experienced. Deb is continuing to expand and there are so many exciting opportunities at the fore. She is one of the smartest, most articulate and proactive experts I have ever encountered in this space.
Debs program is not ‘keto’ in the sense that most people think. It is modified keto and is neither super high fat nor super low carb. Essentially, it is a gut healing program that balances hormones and supports the development of fat adaption so that you can go out and have your pasta/bread (if you wish) etc all whilst maintaining a healthy weight, optimal health and knowledge of what works for YOUR body. Deborah Murtagh is truly a gift. One of the angels sent here for the betterment of humanity.
Be aware – This works, initially extremely restrictive. If you ask questions or are not completely on board with changing to app. They are rude and call you horrific names. It us all about making money. No people skills. In my time all admin left. So unhappy

I feel amazing, and look great! – Both my husband and I did the 30 day drop a dress size ketogenic switch and I’m not disappointed! Ok to start with I was a little Overwhelmed but within a day it was all clear, 6000 other ladies were doing it too and you could ask Q’s on the FB group. After the 1st 4 days I felt like a fog had lifted, and I’d lost 5 lb! No more hunger and felt… Read more
stuffed after meals. Loads of meal ideas and delicious recipes. We love this lifestyle so much we’ve joined her maintenance program to learn how to be able to continue this forever. The plan is simple to follow - breakfast was eggs & spinach, 2x snack of fruit & fat, lunch & dinner are veg, fat, protein, simples! Look through the food lists and pick your food, loads of recipes for you to use too. Here are a few meals We made.

****SCAM**** avoid at all costs*** charged my credit 3 times and customer service have zero care factor! – Do not give your credit card details this is a scam! $840 stolen! Please pay attention! This is one of the most distressing experiences I have ever had. I've been charged three times totalling $840.00. I cancelled my membership and made it clear that I do not want to be charged for another year. (This was done well before the next year of… Read more
membership was due) I sent 8 emailing explaining that I cancelled but charged 3 times. They acknowledged that it was a mistake and that someone didn't cancel the auto renewal. But absolutely no care factor for the distress cause and still the money they stole hasn't been put back on to my credit card. I don't believe this was a mistake because the same thing happened to friend. She too is fighting to get money back and also charged not once but three times. BEWARE there is an auto renewal so they will just keep taking money. This is very sneaky, can't imagine the amount of people they have ripped off who don't even realise. I'm still waiting for my $840 and I feel sick to the stomach
nutritionally sound – Before I started this program I had body aches and some arthritis in my fingers joints. All the pain is gone. I have also suffered from depression most of my life. My mental health and clarity has improved, I am happy and enjoy everyday things that have been a burden in the past. All this from eating regular nutritous food that is readily… Read more
available from your local supermarket. I have given up processed food and sugar in the past and enjoyed the benefits above for a short time but did not learn long term healthy eating patterns. TKS helps to retrain your body's way of dealing with food. Instead of using glucose for energy we are learning how to have fat adapted bodies - where our body uses fat for energy. There is a detox effect in the beginning which is upleasant but after getting through that I have had a lot more energy and stamina. One of the wonderful side affects is that excess weight begins to disappear. The program takes a bit of self discipline and a change of mental attitude for a person to see results. The science is sound and the support is great. As my body adapted to a different way of eating I was more than satisfied and quite often not hungry when meal time comes around.
Absolutely recommend The Ketogenic Switch – I joined TKS initially to do the 30 day drop a dress size plan. It has been life changing . After 25 years of yo-yo dieting I feel I’ve finally found the eating plan that is going to stick with me for life. It was easy to follow and the Facebook page group was a great resource . They have a resident Natropath, Chef, Life Coach and Nutritionist to… Read more
answer your questions. There are also a crew of fabulous support staff all around the world who are living the programme and provide encouragement and answers no matter what time zone you are in. I dropped 6.7 kg in 30 days but the best part was that all the inflammation in my body ( arthritis, bursitis etc) has just disappeared and I have so much energy. I’m now doing the main TKS plan and can see myself continuing to my goal weight, into maintenance and beyond. You will notice that the sad folks who only gave this a 1 star rating are the ones that never actually tried the programme. Once you get past the first 5 days you will experience the amazing results and be hooked.
Positive reviews
So grateful and very happy I found this, has definitely worked for me – This is not a diet, it’s a program that actually teaches people how to feed their bodies for optimal health. I’ve lost weight and I’m feeling better than I’ve felt in years. I’m learning what foods to eat to help my body release weight sustainably. Very happy. Show details
The best way to eat your way to release your fat! – This is a genuine way of eating that helps you release your fat. I've been eating this way for the past 7 months, and lost over 20 kilograms, and maintained that weight (within 2 kg) for the past 4 months. Highly, highly recommend! I've never been able to lose weight like this before. It's educated me so I now know how to lose weight, and how to… Read more
maintain my weight. It is not a multi-levelled marketing wonder. This is about changing your relationship with food and nourishing yourself. The only downside is that it can be a bit of a lonely journey if you don't do it with a friend.
A Game Changer – This way of eating is a no-brainer answer to obesity, diabetes and chronic health conditions. It is really hard to give up sugar, bread and processed foods, but the program provides so many alternative healthy whole food choices that it becomes obvious very quickly that this is the way we are meant to live if we want to be healthy long term. I… Read more
lost 5kg in the first month, have kept it off and now sleep like a baby. It is not an ordinary keto diet, it is a healthy way of living. You can read and watch as much or as little of the material as suits you to help support you on your journey. The educational aspect of the program is extensive, as well the support available. The recipes are family freindly and my hope is that more families will learn this way of eating for the sake of the health of their children.
Negative reviews
Some dangerous aspects. Don’t trust all the advice you receive – As a weight loss diet plan it is fine. The mindset part the program is a hodgepodge of AA 12 step and some pop-psych stuff. Mostly harmless enough. What I have a real problem with is the disinformation propagated through the app (eg re COVID19 the dangers of mammogram etc) and the lack of proper oversight regarding health advice. At one time… Read more
qualified nutritionists and naturopaths were available to respond to the very many health concerns subscribers asked about. Now these questions are fielded by a bunch of sychophantic devotees, and admins who simply repeat the same mantra (to trust the plan). This is dangerous. As other reviewers have pointed out there is a lot of up selling involved in this program. Not unusual for these sorts of businesses. Just a warning.
Disappointing and deceptive – The diet is good but if you want help or question anything then you are restricted. Deborah is all about money, any way she can get it. Money taken out of accounts and complaints ignored. Terrible way to treat people! Show details
Good way of eating. Lack of respect to customers – The keto aspect of the diet is well researched and rather easy to follow once you get into it. The materials offered, however, are poorly written, and answers to any questions you post within the group are very heavily policed by moderators. If you doubt or question Deb's products / claims/ advice you post or comment will be removed, usually… Read more
without an explanation. Payment methods are questionable (no warning about automatic subscription), and prices for any "extras" are ridiculously high. This program would greatly benefit from more professionalism and fewer ego displays during Deb's video support sessions.

Poor customer service – I purchased the Ketogenic switch in 2019. As I have been very ill I was unable to follow it. Now I am unable to access it. I have been sent from one person who is on support to another person. Unfortunate marketing, as I believe Deborah Murtagh has a great product but little personalised attention to her client. I would really like to retract the above but am very frustrated by the constant negative and unhelpful response
Forever grateful I found this diet – After struggling for years to lose any weight I joined the 30 Day Dress Size challenge in July 2020. I followed all the instructions and lost 8kg. I also lost the pain in my feet, hands and hips. Plus I had more energy and slept a lot better. I then joined TKS to continue the journey, and have lost another 5kg. There is so much information… Read more
provided on the TKS Facebook page that I need a year to get through it all, plus it's great to see the success stories and recipes of thousands of other women on this journey with me. I am forever grateful for finding this better way of eating, and I know I can maintain my weight loss, or choose to lose more if I want to, the choice is mine.
Success on the ketogenic 30 day one dress size challenge – This program is not a scam!!! I just completed the 30 day challenge and lost 5 kg which is wonderful for me. I have just joined the Ketogenic Switch program and received everything within a half hour. I start that on Monday and can't wait to get rid of what I have to lose (which is considerable). This is an easy diet only after you get through the… Read more
ketogenic Flu and your cravings stop. Once all that is over it is pretty easy sailing. Like ALL diets it required effort and commitment. Difference with this on is it should become a lifestyle change and that is what I am working on. Deborah program is terrific and I got lots of assiatance on the facebook page. It was a crucial part of the program. When I needed help I went onto the facebook page and got it. I highly recommend it!!!!!
Worked for me – I was attracted to the program because Deborah said don’t do any exercise and the science behind the program. After 9.5 months sticking (mostly) to the eating program I have achieved my goal weight and lost over 34kg. I also started running, because I felt I could. The fundamental principles are whole food eating to maintain nutritional ketosis… Read more
and a healthy relationship with your body and with food. The book a useful guide and allowed me to follow principles rather than specific menus while giving suggestions. I didn’t stick with the Mind Switch element beyond week 1, but have returned to these early principles as well.
Love the program but there are big admin problems – I lost 5kg on the 30 Day Challenge and love the program. Signed up for the next program at a much greater cost and received absolutely nothing. It is obviously an admin problem and I have emailed 5 times in 13 days and had no response. I have now missed the start of the next program.I still have faith in the product but not the marketing and… Read more
admin. Sadly you can't have one and not the others. I am hoping this prompts TKS to contact me. You cant contact them via the suggested email address. Please help! Judy Beardsell PS Watch out for the TKS reoccurring annual fee of US$197 you need to cancel this manually. The marketing is a bit pushy which is sad for such a genuinely good product.
Inspiring – I have been on this program since 1 May, 2020 when I started the 30 day challenge and lost 8 kgs so far. I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up but was shocked when looking at the meal plan - it seemed so little. However after the first few days of adjusting I found the food was more than enough, in fact I often skipped the snacks as I just… Read more
wasn't hungry. The support from the facebook group and admin team is amazing and the advice around nutrition and health is in-depth and relevant. But the real key to the program is the mindset work, each week there are exercises to do around our relationship with food, health and ourselves. While I am delighted at the weight lost, I have become really passionate about exploring my motivations and potential. The program has paid for itself many times over and I am thrilled to be a part of it.
Easy and it works – I have been doing the 30 day challenge up to day 23 and have lost 4kgs and felt better in my clothes. There has been lots of support and has been lovely talking to ladies from all around the globe. Really recommend this it is not just a diet it is a way of living Show details
An easy to follow comprehensive programme – The Ketogenic Switch focuses equally on changing your thinking and your health. The portions are all worked out perfectly for women. Yes they seem small at first and I experienced hunger the first few days. But the programme works if you are patient and just follow the plan. To the person who said it's Americanised, you couldn't be more wrong, as Deborah lives half an hour away from me, in New Zealand. Show details
Have been a member 8 mo and I am thrilled. I thought I was stuck with that 7 kgs for everthere – Have been a member 8 months and lost 7 kgs I have wanted to lose for 10 years. I am thrilled. I thought I was stuck there. Healthy, extremely thorough,inspiring and informative. I agree trying to get customer service was a 7 month process so Evelina reply to" Deborah Tks Dreamteam " and get your money!!!!! Show details

If you want great health and to reduce weight. Join TKS no regrets – Anyone who has rated this less than 4 or 5 hasn't stepped into the program fully. I have been part of the TKS sisterhood for 5weeks now and am loving life. Yes you do eat a reduced amount of food but it's the right food. I use to be hungry an hour after I ate breakfast. Now the only time I am hungry is when it's meal time. If you are struggling with your weight and or health, sign up it's well worth it. Show details
Simply wonderful! – I started sceptically, but found it worked for me. Lost 10kg slowly (but never had a huge amount to lose). It made me think about food more carefully and so chose food that was not processed or had very little. Simple easy to prepare and cook meals. My main aim was health so have been able to reduce some medication and completely off another. My… Read more
latest blood tests were the best for years. I think the program is excellent and have made some lovely friends with people worldwide. Enormous support from the staff and other members.
Customer Service - REfund – I purchased 6 bottles of supplement in Nov 2019 to which I experienced side effects. I had a guaranteed 120 day return of the product and sent back the item as they directed. The package was received on 9.1.2020 - I have yet to receive a refund. The customer service is nothing short of pathetic and I believe it is a scam. Now they have both… Read more
the product and my money!!! Talking to their so called 'customer care' is a waste of time and energy - I have lost a huge $300 from this experience. Buyer beware!
Don’t do it you won’t get the results – I went on the course and did not loose any weight or change in body size. It’s a load of crap, just go and eat healthy and save your money for your shopping. Show details
You can't see the eating plan or get a real idea til it's too late and they have your money – I realised this was a keto diet while watching the presentation but it does NOTindicate the very small amounts of food to be consumed compared to other keto diets until you have coughed up the "greatly reduced" price. Give it a wide berth or check reviews of this ( and any other so called food plan) before paying. Anyone will lose weight eating… Read more
tons of lettuce and spinach with very small amounts of protein and fat and a few nuts. There were many ingredients not easily in the UK outside cities and the recipes are very Americanised in nature. I have learnt the hard way. Other reviews indicate I have zero chance of a refund so don't go there
Are you lying – Check your pictures nice Photoshop works actually very poor really I don't think so you telling completely true and you just like to make money that's all and that review positive ?????I don't know where they come from Show details
The last diet I will every do!!! – Real food and I am eating more food then normally would. Lost 10 kg over 6 weeks. I have not been this size in years. More energy sleep better as well as better out look on life. The ketogenic switch is for the whole body and mind not just weight loss. I will always be greatfull for taking the leap of faith and joining up. Show details
Real food, real easy meal plan and real results! – I am a homeschool mum and I have lost 10kg in 12 weeks doing what I do everyday. No shakes, no meal replacements, no additional exercise, no hunger and no gimmicks! Just honest to goodness whole food available in my store or that I grow myself in my garden. The program is easy to follow. It fills me up and satisfies me. I have not experienced… Read more
brain fog symptoms or cravings while on the program. This is not just a diet, it has become my everyday eating. Parting company with sugar and carbs was not as hard as I thought and I am reaping the rewards of good health. Do yourself a favour and jump on board. You will be loved and supported on the facebook page and you won't be disappointed.
This works! – This is the first weight loss program I've been on where I didn't feel deprived or constantly hungry. You eat lovely wholefoods. There are clear stages to the program so that you learn not just how to lose weight but how to maintain afterwards. I'm not at goal weight yet but I've lost more weight and have more energy than on any other diet I've tried. Show details
Life changing, wish I had found it sooner – Started this eating plan 5 weeks ago, and lost 11 lbs ( others have lost more than me ). It’s not just the weight it’s the science behind the plan, as a nurse for 30 years I really appreciate that. The support from the team is first class and the Facebook page with others doing the same as me is invaluable. There’s always someone to encourage. … Read more
Tried all the others but this is healthy achievable ( not hungry once ) affordable. What’s not to love.
Fantastic, so glad I took the plunge! – Very easy to follow. Plenty of food if you follow the guide. There was plenty of support through the facebook group. You are never alone on this challenge and the results are as promised. I released 4.5kg on my journey. Deborah and team know what they are doing. Show details
Pearls among the swine! – This program offers so much more than a "diet". This is a healthy lifestyle change. A lot of thought and research has been put into this program and it is there for your benefit. Of course you must hold yourself accountable and educate yourself with new terminology but there is guidance and support throughout the process. Support and… Read more
encouragement does not mean "hand holding" - we are adults and capable of navigating all the riches of information provided in the e-booklets and on the website. I have personally struggled with 20kg extra for the last 6 years, and tried many diets which only left me in frustration. However, this Ketogenic Switch is working wonders with my weight and on resetting my body to its original functions. I am so happy to have found this program and would recommend it to anyone!
A challenge that works and makes you feel so vibrant, you’d be a fool not to try it – I have completed the drop a dress size in 30 days challenge and have moved on to the ketoswitch program. The support and information is second to none, I’ve lost a total of 16lbs and feel fantastic. I found the photo filling. It’s not difficult to follow plus the health benefits are incredible Show details
