The ketogenic diet is very hard to maintain.
I am following a low carb diet called a "slow carb" diet which substitutes beans for most carbs.
Avoidance of sugar, even fruit is recommended by this diet.

I find that eating an omelet in the morning with 30 grams of protein, turns down cravings considerably.
