The bottom line is...you don't need to give up carbs to lose weight or stay in shape. It's definitely one way of doing it and if it's something that's sustainable, then you should do keto because sticking to something is the most important aspect of a diet. But not eating carbs for the rest of your life is not sustainable -- or enjoyable.
I've helped a few people get fit and the main rule I try to drill into their heads is this:
A mediocre/OK diet for the rest of your life will win over an extreme/great diet done for 2 months. Enjoy carbs and worry more about HOW MUCH you eat as opposed to exactly WHAT you eat. All of this science mumbo jumbo is good to know, but you can get and stay fit without worrying about insulin, leptin, ghrelin, meal timing, sets and rep ranges, LISS or HIIT cardio etc.
Most people overcomplicate it and that's where they fail because it makes shit more difficult and inhibits SUSTAINABILITY.
Now excuse me while I have a bowl of ice cream.
