Forget keto (or any other diet for that matter). Just maintain a calorie deficit if you want to lose weight. The easiest way to do that is to lower carbs and compensate with higher protein/fat intake. Treat carbs as fuel - if you exercise a lot and/or have a lot of stress on a particular day, then you want them. If you are a couch potato on that day, you want to limit them. If you start craving comfort food, drink some water/have a scoop of peanut butter. Then wait half an hour - most probably the cravings will be gone. Eat lots of salad/celery/veggies just because they are good for you. If you start having stool problems, add a couple of table spoons of wheat bran to your daily food intake. Make sure to take it with lots of water - e.g. soak the bran in hot water before eating it. For further weight loss, consider intermittent fasting. I like this protocol: http://www.leangains.com/2010/04/leangains-guide.html http://www.leangains.com/2010/04/leangains-guide.html But that should come later, once you are more or less lean. Good luck! Weight loss is really easier than it seems to be. All you need is to get into the routine and from there on it's just a question of time before you become lean.
