Some interesting things I discovered about the keto diet: A number of people will experience flu like symptoms for up to two weeks while their body adjusts to the new diet. This was true for me, except that it lasted about 3-4 days.

There are a number of tasty alternatives to carbs such as "carbquick" which is a "bisquick" that is minus the carbs. Actually quite tasty! (I tried it)

For short term the keto diet may be effective but for long term there certainly are missing nutrients. Namely those associated with fruits etc.

I will say this...I have always struggled with my weight. And, eight years ago I lost 95 pounds and have kept it off...but only by a daily struggle. Since I started the keto diet two weeks ago, I have had to struggle NOT to lose weight! This is very peculiar for me and actually a bit freeing. It is nice to have a break from the constant fight with food!
