    It works just like any other diet - if you eat less calories than you burn you'll lose weight. No matter what you do, it still comes down to calories. The keto diet is not magical in that regard.

    It may help control your hunger if you find fatty foods satisfying, because a keto diet is mostly fat. You'll also lose a significant amount of water weight in the beginning as you deprive your body of carbs/glycogen, but that's not actual fat loss.

    I have been on keto for a bit over 4 months and have lost 21kg (about 43 pounds) and my overall health has greatly improved, so yes for me it works. I am medically supervised by my doctor. I have found a lot of good info at dietdoctor.com. This is the website my doctor referred me to.

    You can eat anything you want, but on keto, you eat high fat and very low carb.
