I'm working my way through the podcast. After we talked yesterday, I just remembered something. Whatever happened to Atkins? When I was young, it was the "alternative" to reduced-calorie approaches. Is Atkins the same thing as keto? It sounds from the podcast like there are different philosophies about nutrition. Are of the some of the same ideas repacked with new names?
I don't know much about the Atkins diet, but it seems like it was a precursor to keto. "The idea is to shift your metabolism to burn fat for energy instead of carbs." Not a huge fan of these kind of diets, let alone any "diet". It's exceptionally hard to change the body to make fat the primary fuel source, and most people not only fail, but regress.
However, one caveat is, if you live a very sedentary lifestyle with minimal activity, I could see the case for a low carb diet because you don't need the energy.
Ultimately, I started this series with protein because I believe every diet should be built around protein requirements first :)
