Gluten free products can make you gain weight if you're not careful. lots of sugar. Read the label. When I first eliminated wheat from my diet I lost a lot of weight. That meant no cake, fast food, bread or pasta. That alone will make anyone lose weight. Eating gluten free substitutes put all the weight back on and then some.
 
Keto is bit more than meat and veggies. I've been on keto for years to control diabetes. Gluten free is easier, IMO. Keto requires reduction of total carbs to such a low amount daily that it makes the list of acceptable foods more limited than gluten free does. Also, gluten free does not require that you get the bulk of your calories from fats and oils, keto can't work without this.

Keto isn't everyone's cuppa. It is significantly more expensive, it is a hassle when eating out or at friends' homes, and there is no such thing as close enough will do. Either you are in nutritional ketosis (you need a meter to find out), or you are not, and that is determined by whether you keep total carbs from all sources down to roughly 30 grams/day or less, which is not easy. Really, there are only two reasons to do keto, IMO - to lose weight (by far the best tool for this), or to control type II diabetes. But it will not work for either unless you control the carbs every day, day after day, eating at home or eating out. Not many people can stick to it. :pighug:
It took a couple months to get used to it but all diets suck. Normal day for her is bacon, eggs and avocado for breakfast. Chicken/turkey on a salad and an avocado for lunch. A meat and vegetable for dinner. And a fancy keto ice cream for dessert. Lots of variations. Most places to eat will have something on the menu. She'll even get a cheesesteak and bring it home and rewrap it in a low carb tortilla. But like I said she's on and off :pass:
