Fiancée and I have done Keto twice when we needed to drop some weight fast.
I lost 25 lbs the first time and 20 lbs the second time - first time was about 2.5 months, and the second just under 2 months.
It worked great for us in terms of shredding weight - we were strict on it, and enjoyed the food we ate. It also caused my blood pressure to increase, which is why we stopped it the second time.
I think Keto works wonders if you want to lose a bunch of weight (and quickly), but I personally don't want to continue with it for a long period of time. Too many carbs taste good. We're now trying to lose weight via exercise and eating healthy (with the odd cheat meal thrown in), which I think is a healthier, more sustainable way to lose weight.
