Just bought Marty's book, "Big Fat Keto Lies," and as I'm reading, a couple observations are worthwhile. He states that 'Keto' has an identity problem in that this term that has become a media fad is confusing and lacks rigor (my words) in that it means different things to different people. I agree. However, it must be stated that this tends to happen with many touted eating practices like "Mediterranean diet," "plant-based diet," "vegan diet," "Paleo diet," and others. The details get lost due to interpretations by factions adopting these practices, journalists who lack the knowledge to explain these diets accurately because they don't understand nutrition, and everyone else trying to find the " easy button" when conversing about diets and nutrition in general.
Marty occasionally drops by this forum, so it would be great to have him participate in this discussion, as 'Keto' is hardly alone in this dynamic.
The book, by the way, is a breath of fresh air explaining the many things one can do to embrace healthy eating practices. It clearly refutes the many myths, assumptions, and the frequent and blatant misinformation (primarily from those manufacturing & marketing "dietary compliant foods") that arise when discussing a nuanced topic like nutrition and its impact on metabolism.
