Really, when keto and/or low carb works, it works because it's a meme to eliminate highly palatable food that is too easy to overeat. They talk about "carbs" being addictive but are talking about things like potato/corn chips, pizza, donuts, cookies, candy and other highly palatable combinations of carb, fat, sugar and/or salt. These foods aren't addictive because of carbs but because those flavor combinations tickle the pleasure centers in our brains.
The thing is, is that you don't need to eliminate all carbs just to limit those things. There is no reason to eliminate a boiled potato because you tend to overeat potato chips (crisps, for the over-reacting Brit). Not to mention, using your high functioning brain instead of your lizard brain, it's possible to measure out a portion of chips and eat them without eating the whole bag.
