    There are lots of people doing keto...I'd suggest looking for one of the groups where more specific advice can be given/shared.

    My advice, seriously, don't do keto if you are vegetarian. Both are restrictive plans, putting the two things together seems like a recipe for problems.

    I don't do keto, but I do have one little warning. Ketosis is tough on your kidneys. Be prepared to possibly develop kidney stones If you do it, drink plenty of water.

    The good news is you are absolutely in the right place to learn how to lose weight. :) It can be done. Most of the time we don't really have the clarity on how to do it, so various "plans" seem appealing. But if you just start by tracking everything you eat (and using a food scale to help you do that), things will start to come together.
