Yeah there's a reason you don't find jacked dudes doing those diets long term, they're always scrawny while buff dudes still eat carbs. If keto/carnie was better for muscle then every weightlifter and bodybuilder would have been doing it for decades already.
Also, only group of people that are traditionally keto are eskimos. In spite of having adaptations to that type of diet they are not known to be centenarians.
Yeah and people try to tell nonsense like "ketones are the body's preferred energy source" okay so why does the body only use it when all carbs have been exhausted? That right there defines it as emergency fuel. Also why do muscles store glucose inside of them instead of ketones as well (and it's one-way, muscles can't release the glucose they absorb they have to burn it off)?
Keto and or carnivore will tank your testosterone due to lack of glucose. Stress hormones are released to convert fats into glucose.

Except our grains are poison. You can live without them.
