I don't know much about the keto diet. But I usually don't pay attention to the fad diets.

It's been pretty well established for years as a very successful diet but if done aggressively (i.e. fasting to trigger ketosis) then stupid people end up harming themselves.

The principles are minimising carb intake as carbs provide energy in a way not beneficial to an inactive lifestyle and triggers hunger earlier. Fat is used instead to produce slow, long energy release which leads to delaying and softening hunger. Primarily though, as the name suggests, low/no carb intake leads to ketosis which is where your body produces ketones to produce energy like sugars do, meaning you get energy without a sugar rush.
