META-ANALYSIS of 14 studies: “…study findings confirmed that ketogenic diets were more effective in improving metabolic parameters associated with glycemic, weight, and lipid controls in patients with overweight or obesity, especially those with preexisting diabetes, as compared to low-fat diets.”

Been on KetoDiet since July 2013.
At first you count your calories and restrict it all and it’s boring, then you switch to LazyKeto / Alternate Dieting (18:6) and it’s better.
Lazy Keto means you don’t weight anything to ensure you remain below 25g carbs a day, you read the labels to ensure the food is not heavy in carbs and avoid taking much.
Then, there’s the next step: you become a creative cook and consider what food you miss… then recreate the recipes. I did muffins, lemon custard pie with meringue top, pizza… my Muminlaw even offered me a mini fryer to experiment… Turnip, butternut or avocado fries even positively surprised my guests.
I’m just at the junction of lazy keto and getting creative, like you talked about. It’s a daily adventure. I can’t express how happy I am with the results of a ketogenic diet. It isn’t really about the weight loss to me, but more about the inflammation and joint pain. It’s dramatically better.
