Short answer: talk to a doctor first.

Long answer (this is not medical advice): certain risk groups (related to kidney and liver function) should not observe a keto diet without consulting with their doctor. The long term risks of an animal protein heavy keto diet are unknown (think colorectal cancer from red and processed meats, including those with nitrates used in their production). Be mindful of electrolyte and water consumption while on a keto diet.
