^I've done various low carb consistently diets since 2016. Paleo, Keto, Carnivore. All my health issues went away and I lost 20 lbs before regaining 20lbs of muscle (with exercise). I'm as strong and healthy as ever.
I've researched this extensively and the article above is highly misleading if not wrong on several points. The risk of keto is minimal for most, including for diabetics that are adjusting their insulin (down). I won't say that some people don't have issues, particularly those that are already very metabolically unhealthy or have certain food allergies. But in general, it's very safe and the ability to maintain the diet depends on the person.
The research into this is pretty fascinating and the latest studies are now suggesting that a high fat, modest protein, very low carb diet is best for weigh loss for a couple reasons including 1) true ketogenic diets actually increase metabolism while also 2) reducing appetite. That's a powerful weigh loss combo.
But for low carb muscle gains, a carnivore diet is better than keto thanks to the extra protein, but note that weight loss is likely slower. I bulk on carnivore and cut on keto.
I love eating meat. With all the fat and extra butter. Mmmmmm
