paleo is much more sustainable especially if weightlifting is involved. avoiding carbs and insulin is just dumb if your trying to build an sort of muscle, insulin is the most anabolic hormone in your body. you also lose a TON of water weight at first on keto due to the lowering of carbs.

Unregulated Insulin causes weight gain, weve been obsessed with calories for last 50 years and where has it gotten us? Fatter and sicker.

yes hormones play a factor however there is no way you are going to 'gain weight' in a caloric deficit even if insulin has been elevated all day. Hell I eat carbs at EVERY meal and have been losing about a pound a week while still getting stronger.
