I can't seem to find a definitive answer. Some say it\s a fad diet, others swear by it.
Yes.
Completely avoiding carbs is a fad. Yes. It's a meme. Every serious weightlifter and bodybuilder eats a variety of foods including things like oats. Just because fatties who live on pure hfcs diet get obese doesn't mean we need to avoid every carb. That's stupid as fuck. Just like the 'low fat diet' craze of the 1990's was a fad. Eggs, avocados, milk, olive oil, fish, all of these have fat and are great foods.

It's a reddit-tier diet. Get out.
keto is great if you're over 250lbs, unironcially find bacon a hilarious meme, and use reddit.

My b/f has been trying to get me on it, but he is over 250 and uses reddit. I don't know how to break it to him.

Honestly just try different diets and choose the one that works the best for you. I personnally feel like shit when Im doing low carb, thats why now Im not doing it anymore Im doing 40%carbs,35%protein,25% fat and honestly thats what I prefer. There is no perfect diet you just take the one that works for you.
It's not a meme, and anybody that says it is is a huge faggot who doesn't even understand what the word "meme" means.
That being said, it's good for two kinds of people: Fatties trying to lose weight, and diabetics. What it does is breaks your sugar addiction and teaches you how to eat good carbs, i.e. things that aren't sugar.

I think it's kind of stupid. Your brain can only run on glucose and ketones, the latter of which are 30 percent less efficient than glucose. Humans are only meant to undergo ketosis when fasting, not at all times, hence why we have such intricate metabolic pathways for the breakdown and synthesis of glucose. I don't know if actually has any adverse effects on the body - and I don't have the knowledge to argue that - but it just seems illogical in light of the biochemistry.
I think eating healthy foods with the proper proportion of carbs, proteins and healthy fats, as well as getting your vitamins and minerals will always be the most reliable way to ensure your body is being provided with everything it needs. But what do I know, I'm just a beta-cuck faggot who spends his time browsing pictures of half naked men on a Cambodian image board.

>every serious weightlifter and bodybuilder ....
yeah but what if you're a fat lard fuck? < 30g carbs a day will burn the fat way quicker than any other legitimate method

What makes you think that. Adipose is consumed to compensate for a caloric deficit. It doesn't matter whether that deficit is caused by carbs or fats. Actually fats have a higher efficiency of conversion to adipose than carbs do, 96 percent instead of 80, so really it may be slightly better to eat a carb surplus than a fat surplus. But if you eat at a deficit the adipose will be utilized, so it doesn't matter.
This is all ignoring which makes you feel more full, because that varies with food not just macro.

Not quite right, the brain can run on ketones( meduim chains only, there are short and long as well) they under go a process. The fact that this diet was produce for people epilepsy who suffer 40% less seizures when the brain is being fed by ketones. Glucose is better for fast explosive energy and a growing number of people say ketones are better for sustained exercise eg long distance
running as they have twice the energy but harder for the body to break down. I haven't actually done myself yet but am interested, i just like my delicious carbs to much

Its not bullshit if your goal is to die from heart disease.

This
Different stuff works for different people big time in diet. I swapped to all my carbs to wholegrains( brown rice, wholemeal patsa and bread, quinoa) and noticed a big difference just from that
