The hardest part is finding a routine and meal plan that works for you I think. I failed in attempts to enter ketosis a couple times simply because I wouldn't find enough keto food to eat, get hungry, and start eating normal or sugary food.

Lettuce wrap burgers (with cheese and advocado!) are great when you need food on the go. In-and-out is my savior when I travel now. I also ended up hacking together my own ketogenic Soylent(fat-protein shake with nutrients) to supplement for about 1/2 a days worth of calories. This suddenly made being in ketosis completely sustainable for me.

I suspect its slightly easier for those loosing weight rather then maintaining, simply because it can be difficult to eat enough fat and calories through normal food. If your loosing weight you can lower your fat intake a bit and go on a slight calorie deficit once your used to ketosis.

Its a fairly big life-style commitment, and I wish it wasn't so absolutist, but its what works and its helped me with energy levels and mood quite a bit. I feel better overall and don't crave food all the time.
