Most have heard about it from friends who have had some measure of success. However, it is becoming like the game of "telephone" when we were children. The end resulting message is NOTHING like the original intention! Some feel sick due to their lack of knowledge and a bad start.
Disclaimer: I am not a Doctor or a genius (my friends already know this) but I have been on the Fat For Fuel plan for a year and am having success and believing it is a very valid way of life.
I intend to share what I have learned as clearly and succinctly as possibly.
#1. Keto is NOT a diet! Not like Weight Watchers or Mayo Clinic diets. It is a NEW Way of Life. ("Diet" as in the [Standard American Diet] of the average American.
It came about through a discovery that the AMA (American Medical Assn.) made a GIANT faux pas years ago and published a bunch of LIES about meat and fat causing heart disease. A study was done by a less than honest researcher who skewed his findings and apparently the AMA was too embarrassed (or too corrupt) to go back and tell the truth and look stupid years later, so they let it go!

#2. Don't worry, IT'S EASY!! Start slow! There's no rush. You are just changing your body's entire fuel supply from Sugar to Fat!!🤯
First, begin to familiarize yourself with the labels on EVERYTHING you buy. Carbs especially.
Second, begin to wean yourself off "Demon Sugar". If you can stand Stevia, start using it instead of sugar wherever you can.
Third, Choose better quality food. Just start somewhere, you can clean up your act as you go along.
#3. Things you will need:
~A case of amnesia regarding everything you learned about CALORIES, DIETING, FAT, EXERCISE & HOW MANY MEALS A DAY.
~Avocadoes, Grass-Fed beef, Kerrygold Butter, Eggs (as free running or Pasture Raised as possible), Coconut oil, cheese from grass-fed cows (Kerrygold also sells cheese), stevia and/or erythritol.
#3a. Things you will NOT need:
~EXERCISE!!!
All right, that's enough for now, just to get you started.
Footnote: There are two kinds of Keto. "Clean" Keto and "Dirty" Keto. Most of us just ride the line between both. "Clean" would be all grass-fed, non GMO, non preservative ridden, chemicalized, REAL food. "Dirty" is everything else technically low or no carb including Fast Food with the buns removed, Diet soda and other stuff that's not really good for you but "qualifies" as no carb. We're all just doing the best we can, with the resources we have!
