I’m 1.78m, 50 years old, my initial weight 2 month ago before I started the keto diet was 154kg and two months later I’m almost 130kg. Eating the same amount of calories as before.

This is an extremely unhealthy rate of weight loss. All guidance centers around .5-1kg/week as both safe and sustainable.

Yes. But a real keto diet, where you are in ketosis, is impossible for most fat people to follow. They will inevitably cheat (“tee hee hee! It doesn’t count if it’s birthday cake! I’m so naughty”) and be in ketosis.
