Being an Indian, I was raised on a diet with the major macro-nutrient as carbohydrates (wheat and rice), it was hard to switch to a low carb ketogenic diet. But once I switched the health benefits were tremendous - 30lb weight loss and prediabetic symptoms gone.

Also, ketogenic doesn't mean you completely give up on carbs. I take about 2-3 cups of green vegetables everyday. These veggies have very low amount of carbs < 10-20gms. Rest is fiber which has no glycemic load. Also, once you are keto-adapted, all the craving for carb goes away as your brain is well fed on Ketones - much cleaner fuel when compared to glucose.
