Speak to your doctor.
This diet can be extremely dangerous for certain people.

Answer

Depends on what kind of keto you do- strict (only eat keto approved foods) or lazy (eat whatever as long as it fits your macros).
As for what you eat there are a ton of lists online and great guidelines and there is too much to list in a post. Strict keto you focus on whole foods and eliminate all non-keto things. 
You can use a macro calculator online to figure out how many calories you should be eating and how much protein/fat/carbs and then your best bet is to track your food using an app like carb manager. Eyeballing it is hard and you usually underestimate. 
You also have to make sure you’re meeting your daily electrolyte needs and will most likely need to supplement magnesium, potassium and sodium because keto flushes water weight and electrolytes. This will help you avoid the “keto flu”. 
There are a ton of keto groups online- personally I’m in a couple (everything keto for beginners, keto mommy keto pregnancy) and that helps with any questions and support. 
Last- I started keto over a year ago and lost 40lbs. My stomach issues completely went away and my sciatica pain and nerve issues from a herniated disc went from a pain level 10 to 1-2. Before keto I was doing steroid injections in my spine and since changing my diet I haven’t needed it. It’s eliminated a lot of the inflammation around my spine. 
This is my before and after keto.
177lbs to 136lbs 
I’m 5’4

With Keto I lost about 25lbs....I probably would have kept it off but I got pregnant. I won't do keto again because I enjoy working out, I had not energy with keto to work out. Especially the HIIT I like to do. Additionally, I had reoccuring yeast infections that I had never had before.

Hi! I’m on the keto diet
I’ve been on it since October with two slip ups, other than that I’ve been faithful. 
I’ve lost 15 lbs. That doesn’t seem like much but I FEEL my body changing significantly. I no longer have bloating. 
Basically your diet eliminates a lot of highly processed foods, extremely limits carbs, focuses on healthy fats and moderate protein. 
I limit my net carbs to 20 grams a day. What I mean by net carbs is that I take total carbs and I subtract fibre from it. 
There are different ways of doing keto, technically I am doing “lazy keto” because I occasionally have diet sodas. Some natural sugars are recommended on this diet (Erythrotol, stevia) while others are NOT recommended (Aspartame).
Honestly I LOVE it. I’ve tried all the fad diets that Are out there and keto is not even comparable. It’s not really a diet,
More of a way of life. Your energy levels are through the roof because your body starts metabolizing fat instead of carbs, and does so more efficiently. Also, your sugar highs and lows are gone. I struggled with binge eating all of my life, this is the first time I have control Over my cravings and eat for sustenance rather than for the cravings. 
If you have any questions, feel free to DM me !

Answer

I tried it and it made me feel super sluggish and my hair was trash. I lost 15lbs in a month (what I had to lose) and then gained it all bad plus a few more. Now I went back to the tried and true clean eating. I just wanted quick results. 
Everyone I know who has stopped has gained it back then some. It is a high protein low carb diet. You use fat to fill yourself. I see people eating fat first then protein, which I wouldnt do. There are also a lot of cheats and people fill up on nitrates and synthetic junk for desserts.
