Keto and low carb diets in general are good not only for weight loss, but also for managing your cholesterol ratio. While it's true that total cholesterol increases on a low carb high fat diet, the actual ratio of HDL to LDL improves. In the end, keto/low carb unfucks your insulin sensitivity and cholesterol. That's a good enough reason to consider adopting the diet long term beyond the simple considerations of weight loss. Also, I would like to underline this one more time: keto is just a "radical" form of low carb, you don't need to actually go keto to enjoy the benefits of low carb.

Personally, I don't do keto, but I practice a low carb (around 50g of carbs per day) high fat diet and I'm experiencing steady weight loss without feeling like shit, since I still get some carbs to replenish my muscle glycogen stores.
