Keto is a fad diet. It's just another spin on a low carb diet among many that uses a "trick" to induce a
caloric deficit, which is the only mechanism through which you lose weight.
The reason low carb diets work is because most overweight people are overweight because of their habits of overeating (generally unhealthy) carbohydrates and when you force them to completely exclude them it eliminates the vast majority of calories that were previously resulting in a caloric surplus.
The other part of the trick is the limited food choice* that will get you sick of the same foods so you start eating less simply because you're sick of the foods. That 5 eggs for breakfast can easily turn into 3 when you have to keep having to do god damn eggs for breakfast every day for a month.
So yes, keto will likely lose you weight, but so will Twinkies if you eat in a caloric deficit. It doesn't make it healthy.
The healthy way to do it is to figure out your TDEE (genuinely wonder if ketards in this thread even know what TDEE is), track your calories and eat without being a moron who avoids health foods. Using myfitnesspal for a week won't kill you.
"But **** man, that **** is hard, have you heard about keto?"
Keto is an unsustainable fad diet for lazy bastards who can't do fitness and nutrition properly.
Keto loses less fat and more muscle than a high carb diet (lol) in a
metabolic ward experiment (the gold standard):

The ketard cult, just like any other diet cult, is based on the same principle. Uneducated lazy fat folks who failed at losing weight their whole life find that one miraculous diet (spoiler:it's caloric deficit, not miracle) that finally works and they will never falter in their conviction that their diet is the ONE TRUE DIET.
Seriously every time someone passionately goes on about keto I can't help but imagine they're a clueless soccer mom called Karen who just used keto to lose 1.24kg and get at her "ideal bodyweight" for summer.
Keto also plays at people's cognitive bias as they desperately want bacon and eggs and whatever else to be healthy. But they're not. They're just not. They will never be healthy.
These are people who never listened to their mum and ate their fruit and veg and now they finally have some pseudoscience to defend their ridiculous habits that will drive them into an early grave.
It's sad when even supposed psychology expert crumble under cognitive bias and can't reason properly when their habits are in question.
Bacon and eggs are not healthy, grow up and eat your god damn fruit and veg if you want to live a long and healthy life.
*I know there's going to be a ****** thinking salad is the only vegan food but w/e. Plant based diet is far FAR less restrictive than keto.
