I've been on a keto diet since November and it's working great for me. I've gone from 220 to 175 pounds without ever going hungry, and I feel great. Sure, you will miss the pasta, bread, french fries, etc., but if you are careful about it, you can occasionally have a "carb fix" if you really need it. I combined the keto diet with more exercise and the (near) elimination of beer from my diet. I use a web-based food/exercise tracker which is really helpful. I've now reached my goal and have introduced some limited carbs back into my diet. Instead of beer I have a daily glass of cheap red wine, which has health benefits in itself. I recommend keto combined with exercise.
