First, thanks for replying. I don't want to spend time building a website if no one but me will be interested in it.

To answer your question, it would be similar to redditt keto, and I would link to those various reddit groups as resources. The difference I'm thinking of is having things be more organized and easier to find information. There is no centralized information other than the single faq page that is very long and not user friendly. So, you get what info you can from that mass of text and have to search around for the rest. The FAQ is also missing things I'd think were essential - like it just mentions ketostix, and doesn't get into blood ketones and why thats a better way to test. It's also missing several websites that I would recommend (like living la vida low carb blog). But then, the page is already so long that maybe they don't want to keep adding to it.

The forums would be also be organized by category in one forum instead of multiple groups with just one list of forum posts - so, Keto getting started (introduce yourself, ask questions, etc), Keto Health (diabetes, heart disease, obesity), keto exercise (keto for runners, weights, etc.), Keto food (recipes, restaurants), Keto resources (websites, books, tools, etc). And I would plan to add information from the forums to the information pages where it seems like a lot of people find something useful.

Any thoughts?

Thank you for those links. I hadn't seen the second two. I will definitely keep them in mind for a resource and types of information to include. Please feel free to send me any other links, I have a number of keto websites that I've visited for information but I'm sure I don't have them all.

Sorry I haven't replied, work has been insanely busy recently.

fangirl - thanks for that, I do have that one, it was a great help when I was first getting started.

Leonidas, I love Dr Attia. He's definitely got some useful research that I'm planning to point to, especially around the subject of exercise and performance.

sassy247: Family friendly meals, got it. I think the idea of kids on keto is an interesting one. I'm not sure there is a lot of information on it right now, but I would definitely add a section on that topic to the forums. Just as a tip for now - make sure you've checked out: http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/ She has a lot of great keto recipes available for free, as well as cookbook you can purchase. And she has a facebook page - she posts lots of free low carb kindle books that amazon does in their daily deals, as well as contests and stuff.

I'm also planning to add a Keto/pregnancy section (and womens issues in general section), especially since my husband and I are looking to start our family in a few months. I want to stay on keto, but there are no studies on that kind of diet's affect on a pregnancy. Most advice I've seen has been to switch to Paleo during pregnancy, but I have seen some women say they stuck to keto just fine and have happy, healthy kids. We haven't decided yet how that's going to go.

Any other thoughts, additional interested parties?

Also, for the website name, I grabbed - KeepCalmAndKetoOn.com - like that?

Thanks for the replies and the links. Definitely looks like it's worth doing. It will be a big project, so what I'll do is publish out pieces at a time, starting with a resource list and a set of forums. I'll let you know when the first version of the site is available. It may take a while since I'm doing this in addition to my job, exercising, etc, just as a heads up. In the meantime, please keep your interest and suggestions coming!

All right, so my website list is pretty extensive, but I don't have many books yet. What keto/low carb books do you personally like, use and recommend? This would be both information books about the keto diet as well as cookbooks. These can be books on amazon or just ebooks someone sells on a website, just as long as you think its useful.

Also, any keto friendly food products you recommend? I'm coming up with a general keto shopping list. It will include both stuff you can find in your typical grocery store(heavy cream, cheese), as well as things you might have to go to specialty stores or online to buy(carbquik bake mix).
