At the end of the day there is no evidence that a ketogenic diet has benefits over regular healthy eating that includes carbohydrates. The one thing it does have is poorer long term compliance. Most people don't have problems losing weight, but 99% of those who lose it will regain it all back.
All that being said, good for everyone in here trying to make themselves healthier.
I just hate fads. And people always talking about keto when I don't ask. Yes I realize I walked into a keto thread.

I don't things there's any debate that a diet with all macros in good proportions and from good sources is the optimal diet for most people.
If everyone could eat that way, we wouldn't even know what the Keto diet is.
But I get that Keto works well for a lot of people and for those people it may have better compliance then general good nutrition, portion control, etc.
Maybe being able to binge on bacon, cheese and butter just makes it easier for a lot of people.
It is cheating or a shortcut in a sense, but if it works for people and has minimal side effects, why not.
Good to see people finding something that works for them.
