Starting the diet: I transitioned from eating simple things like cheap bread, pastas, lots of frozen crap, etc to eating lots of meats, oils, eggs, etc. When you compare the cheapest routes of a poorly balanced S.A.D. (what most generally unhealthy people are following) vs properly balanced Keto, I've found Keto to be more expensive.

After losing weight and maintaining the diet: it was more expensive to maintain a high caloric load after losing the weight. At the time I racked up about 6000 miles/yr on my road bike while at my optimal weight (no body fat to burn). Fats to supply the fuel I needed (mostly MCT's) were far more expensive than simple carbohydrates.

EDIT: I'm not complaining about the cost, I'm just comparing it to what unhealthy people are generally used to. I am currently on the Sated Keto (Ketolent) diet and it's costing around $270/mo which is perfectly acceptable.
