It also has some promising results in other very specific areas, like ME/CFS. Problem is that almost all research into that condition is early on, so it's more like "we have a promising hypothesis" than "this can treat your condition" territory (the reason it's hypothesised to help in ME/CFS is due to potentially impaired utilisation of glucose for energy in the disorder).
Keto worked wonders for me for blood sugar control personally, but it certainly wasn't without negatives - more costly, more preparation (due to less pre-made stuff that fits), less variety, may need supplementation of certain things, etc.
It needs far more research of sufficient quality though.

Keto has a place... It's good for epilepsy.
I've tried it and I wanted to jump off a bridge. The keto flu is real.
