Keto People teach me your ways.

Do your research first before you jump in. Try the low carb forum here. They have a ton of material to go through and learn from. Most people who try this way of eating and fail is because they let their electrolytes get out of balance and feel like poo. Salt is your friend! Also fat isn't satieting for everyone so that is also a reason for failure or just not liking it. Calories still matter! You may find that it's easier to stay within your goals though.

^^ this. if you are not 100% committed going in you WILL fail. the first week is hard but once your body regulates to the fat as the main energy source it is very rewarding. no mid-day crashes. better sleep. you can go longer w/out eating and not get grumpy.

I really like Jason Wittrock (he has a lot of YT videos that are great for explaining keto for beginners.

GOOD LUCK

A few things:

Keto really becomes effortless weight loss for some people. They don't even have to think about it and the weight just falls off. Others, not so much. I have to count my calories or I'd overdo it because I have a tendency to eat when I'm not hungry, out of boredom, almost as a way of fidgeting. So, if I'm not careful, I can go way over my calories very easily. I've lost all my cravings and sort of constant, gnawing, low level hunger but I still want the activity, if that makes sense. So, keep that in mind.

Play around with your macros, by all means. I'm still trying to figure out where I'm most comfortable.

I didn't get the keto flu (I think it's because I was already very low carb, fruit was the only big carb source for em when I went full keto) but people say to get electrolytes and drink lots of water.

All of this advice is the best advice you will receive. It is also a constant learning process as well because your body changes throughout the process.
I got all of my info from Pinterest, my local library, and Instagram is really, really big for keto people ad well.
I have been eating low carb/keto since mid may and I am down 54 lbs so far.

Don't fall for any gimmicy products either. All of that stuff is horse crap. Stick with food water & vitamins(keep your sodium, potassium levels up & magnesium helps with bathroom issues). The first 30-45 days, keep it simple. Avoid making elaborate keto meals until your body has adapted to the keto lifestyle. Spend a week or more doing Low carb first. Learn to live without the breads/pastas/sweets doing this first & it makes the transition to keto much easier.
