I'm on a keto diet, lost 2 kg over 2 months but was already quite fit. Didn't feel much different. I truly believe that all the "keto changed everything about my life!" hype is basically just overweight people loosing weigh and misinterpreting all the benefits of no-longer being overweight as being related to the carbohydrates.
Don't feel hungry all the time? Working out regularly does that too you no-matter what you eat. Easier to concentrate? Funny enough, most research on cutting carbohydrates out your diet indicates that it reduces your mental fitness, but again, if you were overweight and you're losing weight, that's going to have that effect. Easier to fall asleep and wake up? Well again, just working out and not being overweight will help you here.
Not saying that keto doesn't work or doesn't have unique aspect to it, but at the end of the day, to me it seems that 80% of it is just calories in, calories out. Then 20% about making it easier to actually stick to that. And the remaining 98% is all hype.
