If your goal is to cut fat really quickly, then ketosis is the way to go, sure. If long-term health is the goal though, I'm not convinced.
But then again, I'm still in the process of tweaking my diet. Within six months I aim to get the vast majority of my carbs from vegetables rather than grains, then start tweaking macronutrient ratios.
Yup. I jumpstarted my weight loss that way (I gained fairly a lot when I quit doing meth hardcore). When I was very good I got ALL my carbohydrates from vegetables, and did not eat any white stuff at all (zero sugar, no fruits, no processed anything.) I got my protein from beef, chicken, pork, fish (I was very liberal with the fat and dairy.....) and I still lost more weight than I ever did when I was on a low fat diet (ugh.)
After maybe six months I became I bit more relaxed, and now eat some fruit and allow a little bit of sugar in my diet (not white stuff though...mostly like I said in the form of fruit, mascobado, etc.) I have terribly bad periods too,where I'll eat stuff I havent eaten in years (potato chips, bread, etc. ) but hey...we gotta live a little right? But when I want to be good again, I know exactly what to do and what to cut out.
Anyway my point is, I feel best and at my healthiest when I get most, if not ALL my carbs from vegetables. Thank god I love veggies....So, in conclusion, this is what works most for me when I want to maintain my weight. Again, you must know YOUR body and know what works for you because what works for me, may not be the best for everybody else.
Carry on.
