Amen! After all, one quick and easy way to lose some weight is to become diabetic and need a limb amputated . . . but I don’t recommend it.

That’s definitely one for some. As much of a carb and sugar addict as I was throughout my life, and my family medical history, I’m really surprised I didn’t develop T2. My big thing is the reduction of inflammation and mental clarity. I have ADD, and since going keto, I have both well under control without medication, and it’s truly a blessing…

It’s really not a quick loss eating plan for most folks, and you can’t look at it the way you’d look at any other kind of weight loss diet. If you’re not looking to convert to keto as a long-term lifestyle, for more reasons than simply losing weight, you’ll likely gain everything back once you go off keto, making it kind of pointless as a short-term solution. Also, weight tends to fluctuate in the day-to-day and week-to-week on keto more than other ways of eating, so weighing yourself too frequently can give you a false sense of how well it’s working. I started by cutting back to weighing myself no more than once a week, and now weigh myself monthly. It was tough at first, but has made such a positive change in my motivation, confidence and ability to stick to the diet. Weight loss may be gradual, but you should be feeling much better overall, and the weight should be coming off, though perhaps not at the rate you’d like. Not counting calories at all really helps. My weight loss is slow and steady, but consistent, and the trend toward overall fat loss is what matters. This diet really isn’t the quick fix some people market it to be, and treating it as such is going to be an exercise in frustration. Try to take a longer-term view, and be proud of yourself–you’ve made excellent progress so far!
