Its pretty complicated but there is lots online about it. I just dont think i have a lifestyle that i could adapt to commit fully to the keto diet. If you dont commit fully... it wont work.

It also takes 4-6 days following the diet to get into ketosis, then the hard bit is keeping your body in ketosis!

Good luck if you go for it, let us know how you get on.
