A ketogenic diet is going to look different from one person to the next, depending on the person's goals, preferences, concerns, time availability, and culture.

My ketogenic diet may look different from your ketogenic diet.
My strictness level may differ from yours.
I may not do any cheat days, while you may enjoy some occasionally.
I may be a carnivore, and you may love a big salad.

What matters is good health.

I hope it stays that way, because I'm sure most of us know what it's like...
