I actually find it to be less maintenance, I don't have to schedule things around eating. I generally don't eat breakfast and lunch.
I think it’s hard to fit fasting into a schedule if you’re generally social, which usually involves “doing lunch”, etc.
I did well on keto for 6 months. Now am off that, but still try to observe some of the things I did then. Have gained some of the weight back but not all. Contemplating getting serious about it again.
