There are a lot of conflicting ideas among dietary experts about the benefits, safety and effectiveness of being in, and staying in ketosis.
I think anyone who really wants to take on this diet needs to read a few books written by doctors who explain the actual biochemistry of the whole deal, and then read some of the opposition's points of view. See if you can weed out any deception and maybe prove it or disprove it to yourself. It might not work for everyone.
Reading all you can about it will help you do it correctly and not possibly be missing a piece of the puzzle that could be holding you back. You won't be having your cake or eating it.
My bias is a product of it working nearly miraculously for me and my wife.
A good bunch of books to check out that really get into depth on the science of it all and also explain the origins of most dietary advise and funding (which leads you into a wall of corruption) include:
WHEAT BELLY and UNDOCTORED, by Dr. Davis
THE OBESITY CODE, by Dr. Fung
THE BIG FAT SURPRISE, by Nina Teicholz
and for fun and more prospective, LIES MY DOCTOR TOLD ME, by Dr. Berry and KETO CLARITY, by Jimmy Moore
Good stuff.
