My sons been on Keto now going into the 5th year. In his case its not about weight lose, but seizure control so it is very constrained on carbs 26grams per day max.
Just to be clear KETO is dangerous. It can kill you directly and indirectly (we personally know of one indirect death). What makes keto dangerous, Ketogen, the waste product of burning fat, so please be careful under doctors supervision.
Keto is expensive. Having food in variety, that tastes good and gives the value of calories you need costs money, think 2 to 5 times the cost of regular heath food.
Learning to carb count in cooking/baking and still have stuff taste good is difficult.
Easy way to determine carb count is Total carbs per serving less fibers is Net Carbs. BTW sugar alcohols (sweeteners) are counted as carbs in the total equation.
Reason it has fallen back out of favor is the risks. This really should be a doctor supervised diet. On your own it easy to get into a health issue in more ways than one.
The second though very low down on the list is cost, people are willing to pay big $$ to have the quick miracle solution to weight loss, so cost really falls to a very distance second.
