the main reason keto diets suck

The Main reason Keto is a Crappy Diet for Most people Now I'm not going to argue with you. If you eat a standard American diet and start following a keto plan to the letter that you will probably lose weight, which is true for most diets anyways. But the reason keto is such a crappy diet for most people is because no one sticks with it long term. So unless your goal is to just lose some weight for a little while and then put it all back on, what is the point? If you don't want to follow a keto diet long term, then don't follow it short term because you're just wasting your time and putting off the inevitable weight gain. Instead, focus on a plan that works for you. Now you can take aspects of the keto diet, begin to reduce refined carbs, but you do not need to live a life in ketosis in order to manage your weight. There are a lot of other strategies you can use that are a lot less rigid and increase your ability to live with them long term. So don't just judge a diet based on how much weight you'll lose in the short term. Start to look at how long you're going to be able to stay with that plan.
