> but without a nutritionist guiding you it’s still hard to get down into ketosis.

I guess this is geared towards people who read a blog and decide they want to try it without educating themselves?

It happens a LOT ... many people "try" keto, but they wind up just eating low calorie, cutting the carbs, but not adding fattier foods in. You still want a calorie deficit and it isn't magic. Calories and Hormones (insulin, etc) are both huge, overriding factors.
