I did a Keto diet for 4 months and lost 45lbs. Those pounds started coming back quick after I eased off of it (my triglycerides and cholesterol numbers were getting worryingly high). I also found it incredibly difficult to jump back into Keto for any sustained period of time afterwards. Tried and failed within a couple of weeks multiple times, kind of like whenever I try to go off of caffeine. Been finding just eating lower-carb (not as low as keto, and some days where there have been carb binges) and focusing more on whole foods and not eating high-fat foods and my triglycerides and cholesterol numbers are back to normal levels, and I'm back to losing weight again, albeit a lot slower (down 25 lbs this year). I know another guy who lost 107lbs off Keto (he was my initial inspiration to try it, in fact) and he eventually went off it and he had regained about half of that when I saw him last (according to him). I'm sure there are people who have been able to keep the weight off, but it was difficult for me.
