What's most odd about the keto diet is how much people want to argue about it.
Some people really want to go out of their way to disprove any success stories, claim it's all bacon & lard, and will kill you in the long run.
Other's want to claim they've found the holy grail, just eat bacon 3 times a day to lose weight and no one should ever eat a carb.
I listened to this podcast on the diet today and thought it was pretty good:

I like how the doctor talks about different commitment levels to it, cycling on it, allowing adjustment to the macro % levels. Like most diets, there's a lot of good in it and you can take some of that and implement it into what works for you.
Not everything has to be simplified into an argument of it being the best thing ever vs worst thing ever.
Another resource I used when trying to eat lower carb was

I found the recipes good, loaded with vegetables and having a grocery list with full weekly meal planning was really helpful.
The visual guides are really good for any diet too:

It's nice to start understanding where things you eat and drink sit on the carb scale. Regardless of how much you're trying to set your macros at, knowing where foods stack up is needed.
