Good for losing some weight quick as gets rid of a lot of water weight as you're having no carbs to hold it, for long term not good (IMO) balanced diet with less calories and a good weekly workout plan and you'll be golden

"To lose weight "

Ok its just its used medically also.

Meh it will work in the same way all diets work. It goves you focus and structure.

But for long term health as a poster above said a more balanced diet will work better.

If you are doing it remember fattier foods still means lean meats not pork belly every night

Some important things in your body are made from protein, normally your body dips into fat as an energy reserve, in keto it will dip into things in your body made from protein.

Feel free to experiment, but I wouldnt have it as a life style, unless you're an eskimo.

I have given up all starchy foods like potatoes, cornflour, sugar and all kinds of bread and pasta over a year ago replacing them with home cooked meals of all kinds of meat and mountains of vegetables drowned in real butter.

Now and then I do have my weak days and just stuff my face with buns and crisps but them days are far and few.

Since I've done that - I'm almost never hungry or tired, physically I'm a lot stronger and lost a bunch of weight. Bonus points: my IBS is gone away with mood swings.

Nowadays I think twice before touching any highly processed, rich in carbs food as I know that within minutes I'll get a stomach ache followed by lethargic mood.

There's a show on Netflix called "The Magic Pill" - really worth a watch

I've gone in and out of the keto diet over the last year. Kinda defeats the purpose though as you have to do it full time to get the full benefit. I just don't have the discipline.

But I still eat keto meals regularly as I enjoy them and it can only be a good thing to cut down on some bad carbs and sugar.

I have some recipe books dedicated to Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners and Deserts which contain some very satisfying and tasty meals so if you have the dedication and discipline it doesn't have to feel like you're depriving yourself of good tasting food.

Oh, and be prepared for the keto 'flu' if you go ahead with it.

Joe Rogan goes into a lot of detail on keto and various other diets like the carnivour diet on his podcast

All ‘diets’ are short term cons. Learning to eat healthy and well for your body’s needs is far more important than a diet. Yes some things work for some people but only at a cost to their bodies.

Vegetarian and vegan diets are an ethical choice that require much monitoring and good practise to ensure essential micros are being adequately compensated for. Kudos to anyone able to sustain that ethical choice.

Find a nutritionist or PT who can advise on your basal metabolic rate and how to put it into reduction to make healthy weight loss. Include it with exercise for the only real way to turn to healthy living,

And sleep. The importance of good quality sleep can't be stressed enough when it comes to weight loss, maintaining weight loss and overall body health.
