>I lost 50 pounds eating ~500 calories more on keto than I did before

As a diet methodology, calories in vs calories out is not very effective for the general public. I too have lost more weight via keto.

But when I really tracked what I was eating I found keto simply kept my appetite under control better. This is extremely valuable but ultimately it was still down to calories.

(You also tend to drop a ton of water weight when you first start keto which makes it seem super effective at first)
