I haven't tried ketogenic diet and I don't think I want to try. I've read that ketogenic diet is a type of strict diet plan. It is a  full fat diet with no carbs or proteins.

Usually, our bodies make use of sugar from carbs for energy. In the absence of sugar, it breaks down proteins and fats. Now with keto diet, since you'd be eating basically fats, your body keeps breaking down fat in a process known as ketosis. Hence, you start to lose weight.

Yes and no. I read the full description and decided that was nuts. It's bad enough that diets generally don't work. Keto diet sounds like it's awfully uncomfortable even if it does work. Here is what worked for me:

Fat Burning Soup

6 bunches green onions (scallions)

2 cans tomatoes

1 head cabbage

2 green peppers

1 bunch celery

1 or 2 packs Lipton Soup Mix

Cut everything into small pieces and boil. Eat only the soup and you will lose a pound per day. After that you need some protein and fiber (veggies) for a couple weeks. You won't really want to repeat the experience for a while, so just be careful about what you eat to keep the weight off. Boil eggs so when you get a craving for sweets you can eat an egg. Any time you want a snack, drink a glass of water before you eat anything.

It's not bad, but it's not yummy either. You have to do it for the results, not because you like the taste.

I have never tried Keto diet. The keto diet could cause low blood pressure, Kidney stones, constipation, nutrient deficiencies and an increased chances for heart disease. Keto is not safe for those with any conditions involving their pancreas, liver, thyroid or gallbladder.

No, I thought about giving it a try but had read so many negative reviews about it. It is not for everyone and I get easily affected by any new change in my body, so I never tried it.

It is easier to do it with someone than by yourself. You will need to be able to talk about the diet and how it is different from other diets. It is also better to have someone to help you do the diet with.

It is easier to do it with someone than by yourself. You will need to be up to date with all the resources that are needed to do a keto diet successfully, such as a keto diet meal plan and food list. However, doing it with someone is a lot easier than doing it with someone else. You don't have to worry about about eating healthy foods or following a keto diet diet plan. You can just be there with them and help them with what they need to do to get to their goals.

Trying the ketogenic (keto) diet involves making significant changes to your eating habits to shift your body into a state of ketosis, where it primarily burns fat for energy. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to try the keto diet:

1. **Educate Yourself:** Before starting, learn about the principles of the keto diet. Understand the macronutrient ratios: about 70-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% from protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates.

2. **Consult a Healthcare Professional:** If you have any underlying medical conditions, are taking medications, or have concerns about the diet, consult a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before beginning.

3. **Plan Your Meals:** Create a meal plan that focuses on low-carb, high-fat foods. Include foods like avocados, olive oil, butter, fatty fish, eggs, meat, non-starchy vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Eliminate high-carb foods like bread, pasta, rice, and most fruits.

4. **Count Carbohydrates:** Keep track of your daily carbohydrate intake, aiming for 20-50 grams of net carbs (total carbs minus fiber) per day. This will help you stay in ketosis.

5. **Choose Quality Proteins:** Opt for lean cuts of meat, poultry, and fish. Include plant-based sources of protein like tofu and tempeh if you're vegetarian or vegan.

6. **Healthy Fats:** Consume healthy fats, such as avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, and nuts. Be mindful of your overall calorie intake, as fat is calorie-dense.

7. **Keto-Friendly Vegetables:** Focus on non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, and zucchini. These provide essential vitamins and fiber.

8. **Snack Smart:** If you need snacks, choose keto-friendly options like nuts, seeds, or cheese. Be mindful of portion sizes.

9. **Stay Hydrated:** Drink plenty of water to stay well-hydrated. Ketosis can lead to increased water loss, so hydration is essential.

10. **Avoid Processed Foods:** Minimize or eliminate processed and high-sugar foods, as they can quickly add unwanted carbs to your diet.

11. **Plan for Keto Flu:** Some people experience "keto flu" symptoms like fatigue and headaches when transitioning. These symptoms are temporary and can be mitigated by staying hydrated and increasing your salt intake.

12. **Track Progress:** Monitor your progress by keeping a food diary or using a smartphone app. This will help you stay on track with your macronutrient goals.

13. **Exercise:** Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine. It can help with weight loss and overall health.

14. **Consult Experts:** If you're unsure about the diet or have questions, consider consulting with a registered dietitian who specializes in the keto diet.

15. **Give It Time:** Allow your body time to adapt to ketosis. It can take several days to a few weeks for your body to fully adjust to using fat for energy.

It's important to remember that the keto diet is not suitable for everyone, and it may not be a long-term solution for everyone. Before starting, consider your individual health goals and needs. Always consult with a healthcare professional to ensure the diet is safe and appropriate for you. If you experience any adverse effects or discomfort, consult with a healthcare expert to make necessary adjustments.
