> on Keto alot of people, especially athletes load up on as much protein as they can

This only works because athletes tend to have pretty insane protein (and calorie!) demands.

If you as a regular, non-athlete person load up on protein (while neglecting to consume sufficient fat), your body will be forced to convert the protein into glucose, and you'll fall right out of ketosis
