Fat's the best for satiety, yes. I find it much easier to overeat when I'm mainly eating protein. I'd guess you kept the mental benefits because you were still in ketosis. While I'm sure being leaner (if you were overweight) contributes to some mental benefits (body image, feeling healthier), perhaps most are simply from running on ketones.

Even after so many years in strict keto, I still can't tease out where exactly which benefits come from between calorie reduction, ketosis, gut microbiome, etc. I feel like it's definitely a combination of more than one of the above but teasing it out would require too much experimentation and I'm reluctant to 'mess with success'.
