    There's an egregious amount of information available on this. I recommend looking it up. Basically eat a ridiculous amount of meat and fat, some green vegetables, and that's pretty much it. All the rest is just bs designed to sell you crap. If you ever want to eat carbs like bread or rice again, probably not the right diet. But if you a diehard meat eater that doesn't like grains, then it can work. Mostly because the meat becomes so unpalatable to you that you just can't stomach any more, and you don't have any other options.

    Im a vegetarian and do keto when I need to lose weight or I have a big race.
    Keto is perfect for ironman but not very good for shorter races.
    Anyways, starting keto, keep your electrolytes up because otherwise you'll feel crap for up to a week, buy a few keto bars so you have snacks available, if you eat too many carbs you'll put weight on even if your calories are low.
    My wife uses chicken or bacon in Tupperware as her snacks.
