Keto is hard on the kidneys.
Low carb is better.
Basically, just cut out wheat and sugar and you’re good to go.
If it’s processed beyond basic freezing or canning, don’t eat it.
I suspect food preservatives are enzyme blockers. This if true would sabotage absorbing anything but sugars and fats from your food. If you ate a high processed food diet, you could easily find yourself in a high calorie / low nutrition spiral to obesity.
You literally starve while over eating... You are full while craving more nutrients.
Nonsense. What is your source?

“Keto is hard on the kidneys...Low carb is better.”
I think (subject to correction by others) what is tough on the kidneys is high-protein, which should be kept below 30% on all diets, ideally at 20% of all calories. The foods where that really shows up is in poultry (at around 60%) and fish (probably the same, but I haven’t run the numbers). Red meat (non-lean) and cheese get closer to 30% protein, while nuts and vegetables can get much lower in protein. So you do have to pay attention in that area.
But your advice is still very good, even for diabetics, as they may not get off insulin, but they should be able to cut down quite a bit on dosage.
Who told you Keto is NOT low-carb..?
The funny thing is, since going Keto, I eat more vegetables than ever, they’re just the right vegetables.
Keto is hard on the kidneys.

Dr. Jason Fung (nephrologist):
Dr. Fung: So, there’s two situations, if you have normal kidney function and you eat a high-protein diet and keeping in mind that we often recommend moderate proteins, high fat, low carbohydrate, but if you were to eat a high-protein diet, there’s really no evidence that it would cause kidney damage.
Now, if you have pre-existing kidney disease, there is a worry that the high-protein increases the level of strain on your kidneys and because you have the underlying kidney disease, it can’t take it. That’s fairly severe, kind of moderate to advanced kidney disease.
So, there’s definitely a bit of truth in that, that if you have kidney disease already, then you should be a little bit careful that you don’t eat excessive amounts of dietary protein. But if you don’t have kidney disease to begin with, then, really there’s no evidence that the high-protein diet is detrimental.
Now, keeping in mind, of course, again, I’m not advocating for extremely high levels of protein in the diet I generally advise people to stick to a moderate amount and increase the amount of natural fats

Every couple of months I have a hot dog as an indulgence.
The closer to whole a food is the better it is for you.
