    Hey and welcome to keto! You'll find it's a bit of a contentious subject around here, but just do what you and your doctor feel is best for you. I started January 1st and I've lost 40 lb (2.85 stone) and dropped my blood sugar 200 points, and so far have been able to avoid adding a second diabetes medication. I love the keto lifestyle and it hasn't been hard for me at all. I don't miss bread or empty carbs. I can't emphasize enough what a wonderful resource youtube is for someone just starting out. There's a very vibrant and active keto community there. You don't need to buy any expensive supplements or pay for anyone's book. It's all out there for free. I highly recommend Dr. Ken Berry's channel. He's a real medical doctor who has done the keto diet himself, and also has his patients on keto. He has a whole series of videos that can answer almost any question you have.

    There are also tons of keto recipes. Almost any food you can think of, even pizza and chocolate cake, can easily be made keto with a few simple ingredient switches. Check out Keto Connect, CJ's Keto Kitchen and Headbanger's Kitchen for fun, interesting videos that show you how. And there's loads more. Everything I learned about keto, I learned there.

    Talk to your doctor first, and best of luck with whatever food plan works for you.
