It really isn't as difficult to get into ketosis and safely maintain it for a reasonable duration as that article suggests. Plenty of green leafy veg (The more the merrier for most), moderate to slightly higher protein, extra fibre from low carb sources, slightly increased water intake, high-fat, and low-carb (<20 g/day from veg if possible). Unsweetened, low-suger high-fat Yoghurt for breakfast with a few nuts or seeds (+ erythritol and stevia if you want a bit of sweetness). Salads with olive oil and a bit of cheese or meat for lunch. A variety of green-veg-heavy, keto-suitable recipes for a pleasant evening meal (Things like creamy or cheesy sauces are great plus curries can be readily adapted with cauliflower rice, cauliflower pizza is another favourite, and a lot of pasta sauces don't taste too bad with lettuce once you get past the initial disappointment). It isn't that hard if you are determined and plan your meals/diet whilst considering the sources of your essential nutrients. Personally I experienced some mild keto-cramps after about two weeks and upped my magnesium intake which cured those quite quickly. Then I started losing weight; I've literally just lost 2 stone (And counting) by following a keto diet. It isn't as easy as some people make it sound but that doesn't make that article accurate. All of the advice I know about for how to have a healthy keto-diet addresses the exact things that they imply are common problems/dangers of keto. My advice to anyone considering keto would be to read the studies for yourself (If I remember right several good-quality studies are freely available through google scholar) and follow some of the well-known keto-blogs' advice on having a balanced keto diet so that your general nutrition is kept well balanced. Keto does work for weightloss but it does still take moderation, thought, and will-power. It isn't magic but it is far from impossible.
