My understanding is that there isn't anything really inherent to keto that makes it more effective than other diets (still the same old CICO), but its black and white nature in the macronutrient breakdown makes for a solid plan that you can't wiggle out of. If you go halfway on keto, you're going to be in for a bad time. Therefore a wholesale lifestyle change is integral and that's always the most important part of any diet for weight loss.

I'm personally skeptical of it for long term and think extended planning is good for an "exit strategy," but I think it's an okay thing to try temporarily. It has a lengthy history of use for easing epilepsy, especially in children, so I think it's plausible it could be beneficial for other neurological conditions. But even for those children I don't believe they're kept on for longer than a year.
