I found being on a keto diet reduced inflammation and very healthily decreased my appetite, so I lost weight. I also avoided eating fatty foods like bacon. The problem was that after two months it made me thirsty as hell at night and I had to drink lots of water, then I would have to wake up to pee and be thirsty again, so I'd drink more and the cycle repeated. So it was unsustainable for me because of this insomnia. Otherwise, it felt very healthy to me and my cholesterol and triglycerides went to healthy levels.
Interesting. What a shame that you couldn't find a fix (for the thirst and peeing) to stay on this diet that otherwise worked well for you.
I've been doing keto and have more energy in general
