Keto excludes high-carb foods like bread which almost never contribute to a person’s essential vitamin, mineral, and protein intake. Vegan, on the other hand, excludes plenty of foods that are common sources of essential nutrients and especially protein.
It’s obviously possible to be malnourished on any diet, but if you take a normal healthy diet and exclude keto-unfriendly items, it will almost certainly still be a healthy diet. If you did the same for vegan-unfriendly items, on the other hand, you’d almost certainly have an unhealthy diet without consciously finding suitable vegan replacements.

Like what??? Seriously, except for B12 theres nothing a vegan diet doesnt have.
Pistachios are a full protein. Lentils Peas and Veggies make full proteins. What are you on about?I think they mean if you were just to take your usual diet and remove certain items so as to make your diet keto friendly, you might be fine. But if you took a usual meat/dairy/egg diet and just stopped eating those fortified foods (without finding a substitution for those nutrients), you would be worse off.
Okay, i see what you mean. But i also see that that's a dumb way to think about it? Who changes their diet by just not eating certain foods anymore without incorporating something else.
Some of the most nutritionally complete foods we can eat like spinach and other such veggies are limited (though not excluded) on a keto diet, meanwhile there is no limit to how much of these you can eat as a vegan. But also food isn't just medicine or energy, it can also be poison, and other than refined junk it's going to be the animal foods that are some of the deadliest.
I'll agree with you that foods like wheat and rice are not very nutritious, but also they aren't likely to be the foods that kill you, and you can easily not eat them. Meanwhile keto is very hard to do without animal foods, for many people it's very hard to do even with animal foods. Keto doesn't just require you to exclude a list of foods like you sell it, it has very strict macro requirements which requires monitoring your intake of many of the allowed foods.

U
U r a clown for thinking that invalidates anything I said.
you managed to write a wall of text, but still use 'u' instead of 'you' 🤨
Oh no I didn't use perfect syntax I guess what I said is completely invalid.
Clown.
making sure u get a well-rounded diet
This is the only important part.
Vegan is fine if you're replacing the stuff you take out, not just skip it. It's easier now, but when vegan was just gaining traction, the alternatives weren't as plentyful as they are now.
But just make sure your diet is well balanced.
Potatoes and beans fit nearly all your basic needs. When were potatoes and beans not plentiful? The irish potato famine?
He's talking about before Sir Walter brought them back, when I were a kid we only had turnips and kale...
Yeah that's also what I'm getting at with keto.
Keto is just another diet. If you take the effort to go on a diet and improve what u are eating, ofc ur gonna be healthier. But I've seen no evidence that for the average person there is any benefit beyond that, and there are many negatives to it.
You have a lot of bad information about keto. It certainly doesn't make you lethargic or miserable, and definitely doesn't starve your brain. Quite the opposite... it's being used therapeutically for Parkinson's disease One of the studies referenced in that article, found here is summarized this way
"More specifically, the symptoms that improved most after keto dieting were urinary problems, pain and other unpleasant sensations, fatigue, daytime sleepiness, and cognitive impairment. These findings are particularly profound because nonmotor symptoms ultimately represent the most disabling aspect of Parkinson’s disease."
Regarding energy levels most people report having much more energy, and I suspect your friends issue while in the army doing PT was related to electrolytes. People going on any kind of whole food diet, which keto tends to be, often find they get very little salt in their new diet since they're not eating processed food. People who work out or are otherwise very active often find they have to be intentional about adding salt to their diet or they will in fact find themselves tired and fatigued. Easy to remedy, and again a typical problem for anyone transitioning from a diet with lots of processed foods to one without.
There's been a lot more un-biased study of keto diets in recent years and a lot better science. It's not for everybody, but it's not intrinsically unhealthy and way better than the traditional high-carb, high-sugar, high-processed food diet.
Also, a keto diet does not specifically include or exclude red meat. That's an individuals choice, just like with virtually any other diet that includes animal protein.

bad for u if u

This is where you lost all cred. Not before the lack of carnatine.
