Is the keto diet a safe way to lose weight?

I'm looking up diets to help me lose weight, especially since I really need to lose weight soon. I'm getting married next fall and I want to lose some pounds before I walk down the aisle. Is the keto diet a safe way to lose weight?

No.
As long as you do not have a kidney disorder, the keto can be an xcellent way to lose weight. If you have kidney disease, the kidney, most likely, cannot handle the increased protien that it will have to filter. The keto diet is excellent for those with diabetes and elevated cholesterol, in that it will burn fat more efficiently if you remIn in “ketosis”
It looks pretty good. Try it.
Have known friends who went on the Keto diet and they did well. But for me, I would suggest, if you could, try a monodiet with fruits like apples or dark seeded grapes for a week or till you reach your desired goal. This is good cleansing and nourishing for the body. Make sure you drink plenty of water.
I don't think so.
