Yes, an imbalance of nutrients will throw him out of ketosis and, he will have to go a few days switching back to ketosis.

The extent and duration of that throw-off varies pretty widely among people, based on many many factors, and probably a lot of genetic shite we don't even know about.

My mantra lately is, "there are a lot of ways to reap the benefits of beta-hydroxybuterate," so I don't really go by a monolithic "keto diet."

But I definitely eat WAY more fat than most people would ever believe (although public perception seems to be changing re fat), and unless I specifically glucose load for a high-intensity workout or event, I am almost always burning fat (colloquially speaking) as my primary fuel source. I can't remember the last time I counted macros. I just have selected staple foods and formed habits that keep it close. Throw in a quartely 72hr fast, my modified OMAD routine (sort of 20-4 If), and regular aerobic range exercise, and I seldom dip below 0.7 mmol/L and can easily hit 2+ (although the body does adjust after long periods of ketosis, to make closer to what you need).

I'm rambling.

Anyway, yes it's more than low carb, in many ways.
