If you view 'Keto' as a 'diet' for weight loss, it will be very difficult to stick to in the long term and ultimately a failure. Just like every 'diet' ever invented. The motivation needs to be improvement of metabolic health. Excess weight is a symptom of poor metabolic health. Weight loss will be only one of dozens of health improvements on a true Ketogenic lifestyle (and not the most important). Seed/vegetable oils, all grains, and all sugars (including fruit) must be eliminated 100% - they are the cause of metabolic disease.

There was an interesting point made by a doctor where he compressed all of human existence into 1 minute of time. Of that minute, humans have only consumed agricultural foods for about 1 second and processed foods for a few 100ths of a second. We've been on a grand experimental diet for the past 75 years or so and are paying the consequences with epidemic-level metabolic disease (i.e., cancer, heart disease, auto immune, stroke and brain diseases, diabetes, etc.).
