But, everybody is different. It doesn't work for some. I've always done better with less carbs. I still eat lots of vegetables, but no more high glycemic carbs...except at Christmas time...and camping.

It's common to hear this for long, endurance exercise as the energy release of ketones is more steady.
For more high intensity sports however (hockey, soccer, combat sports etc) or just weight lifting for muscle growth, jury is definitely still out.
I've struggles to find examples of athletes in those fields who are full time keto.
