Couldn't agree more! Keto is EASY compared to any other diet I've tried for one key reason: you don't feel hungry. You can eat as much as you want, whenever you like. Soon enough though the effects kick in, your hunger is supressed, and you have to remind yourself to eat at times. No matter how enthusiastic you are at the start, hunger quickly erodes willpower. I failed miserably at the typical low-fat diet. Keto was the cheat code.

The second reason why keto is easy is because it produces "results" very quickly. Your scale will drop rapidly in just a few days. You haven't actually lost that amount of fat, you've lost a bunch of water in your cells, but the scale still tells you that the number went down. And the number changing for the better is what can help us keep at it. This is also a "hack" to get into clothes that are a little too tight way faster. Your body basically shrinks a little.

  Just make sure you supplement potassium since that tends to be lost with the water.

    Yeah. When I first went keto I didn’t know this. Started feeling sick. Google quickly told me that I wasn’t getting salt or potassium, so I ate a salted avocado. All better.

I loved keto when I did it - just step on the scale in the morning, see results, and voila, positive feedback loop. The only downside that I can think of it was really, really, really, REALLY boring. so boring in fact that after a while I did not look forward to eating - while normally I am a foodie and just love to eat, when I did keto that wish to eat was gone. however I still would very much recommend keto if you can find the life setting that supports you doing keto, because I can guarantee you that other members of your family will not want to eat what you eat- once or twice, MAYBE, but not all the time.

  Maybe life is supposed to be boring. That, or maybe we should all try heroin?

    If your life is boring and you have tried everything you should try heroin.
