Has anyone here undergone ketosis? Have you followed a ketogenic diet? If so what are the effects on your wellbeing energy and levels? Is it a recommended diet?

Search a history, Keto has been discussed here many many times.

Ketogenic diet is probably the best tool for fat loss out there. No carbohydrates means no glycogen to use as fuel. The body is forced to use fat as fuel, and since even relatively lean people have orders of magnitude more fat than glycogen in their body, this lowers your appetite drastically and makes you feel euphoric af with boundless energy. Also, you'll get many of the same benefits as strict fasting (your body will clean itself tf up).

If that's your goal I highly recommend trying it until you're at your desired weight.

Afterwards, if you wish to, you can optionally add some healthy whole food carbohydrates (rice, tubers, fruits), especially to support exercise. Carbs have their benefits too.
