Keto Cycle sells subscription keto meal plans - a quiz, a plan, recipes, and shopping lists, aimed at general keto weight loss.
Where Keto Cycle is strong: Simple onboarding and a large recipe collection. If you're a healthy person who wants a keto plan handed to you for weight loss, it delivers that.
Where it leaves a type 2 diabetic on their own: Weight-loss keto and type 2 keto are different jobs. Keto Cycle doesn't think in net-carb budgets built for a diagnosis, has no restaurant tools, and nothing for the moment you're staring at a menu. Keto Contractor was built by a type 2 diabetic for exactly those moments.
