Its not just a calories in vs calories out. Where your calories come from is a more important question to look at. Protein and fat give the most when talking satiety, and “bang for your buck” some extra nutritionally dense carbohydrates if you’re on the more active side (think sweet potato, not bagel).
Keto has it’s place, if done right.
It’s another fad diet, recommended because it’s “cool” and “different”.
Keto was sometimes recommended by real medical professional for things other than weight loss.
Such as epilepsy (before we invented proper medications) and has been suggested to help with other brain issues.
But it was never about weight loss.
This fact is ignored by people trying to sell diet books/plans/merch.
