Sure. But if you live even a little bit active lifestyle, you are going to have issues with this, as converting fat to energy is a much harder process.
You can try to counter the point by pointing out that there are ultra-marathoners who are keto. But my two counters against this are:
1) They generally still use some form of carbs during the race, i.e. sugar packets.
2) There is no world class sprinter / 5k / 10k / sprint biker / football player / soccer play that is keto.
So fine, you can make the argument that no carb is a better diet for an office potato with no exercise. But I would argue that bumping your carb intake up 25-40% and doing some exercise is going to lead to a much more healthy body and mind (many studies around on the benefits of exercise).
TLDR: The problem with office potatoes is being an office potato. You are better fixing it via exercise, vs trying to eat a weird diet that lets you stay skinny while an office potato.

You are better fixing it via exercise, vs trying to eat a weird diet that lets you stay skinny while an office potato. You don't get it. People don't want good proper science-based long-term solutions, they want fast & effortless solutions (meaning no sweat). People don't want to change their life, they want to throw money at problem to see it solved. Well, our bodies are not some TVs or radios. One day, sure, but not now, not during this century. That's the only reason why so many idiotic diets exists (some are OK, but most just don't work for long term or are outright absurd).
