I did it primarily to lose weight. Once I did, I kept with it because I just felt like I had more energy and was less sluggish when I was off carbs. That's not just a side effect of being lighter, because I went back on carbs for a while and found that lower carbs yielded better results for me. Less bloated too, which makes sense when you consider low carb will reduce your fluid retention.
The 'keto flu' is only when you first start, and once you've been fat-adapted previously, getting back to it is so much easier with a much shorter 'keto flu' period.
