Nutrition science in this country is a joke. Too often, what we see is "eminence" based, rather than science or results based. Anytime I see a headline or a news article on a "new study", I am skeptical. Even abstracts can be totally misleading. Sometimes I think "peer reviewed" just means they found somebody else as stupid (or biased) as they are to review it. The methodology behind some of the epidemiology based studies is laughable. And of course, you have large companies (big ag, big food, big pharma) trying to game the system. I am skeptical of everything.
With respect to Keto and LCHF, I'd suggest you check out a couple of things. Zach Bitter on the Human Performance Outliers podcast. He is an ultra distance runner. Primarily carnivore, but has good info on his experience and when he supplements with carbs. Also look into Sami Inkinen, CEO of Virta. Virta is helping people with Type 2 diabetes without meds, through diet changes. Somewhere, I think on his blog, he talks about his experience with Low Carb and endurance including Ironman distance.
There are many good articles and podcasts out there with good information on this subject.
The evidence continues to grow that carbs are not a necessary part of the human diet, and that too many carbs in the diet leads to the epidemic of chronic disease we see today, obesity, diabetes, inflammation, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, cancer, etc... Even among athletes. But it is also true that everyone is different, and there can be variations. For example, in one presentation I watched, the speaker was a strong advocate for the carnivore diet. But she acknowledged their researched show that approx 2 to 3% of the population has a certain genetic makeup/gut biome that they could do just as well on a vegan or vegetarian diet (gave her a little more credibility in my eyes).
Find what best works for you through experimentation.
Lastly, I reserve the right to change my opinion as I acquire new data. As they say, "the mind is like a parachute, if it's not open, it won't work".
