They don't. Keto is the most unhealthy of all alternative diets partly for that reason.
Your brain needs carbs. Without carbs, your brain rots. And your liver gets damaged.
That being said, simple carbs like table sugar, HCFS, etc. are to be avoided because they spike your blood sugar and cause inflammation which ages your body. The sugars you get from fruits and veggies are not table sugar, they're fructose and other kinds, and they're mixed in with the fiber of the fruit so you don't get the blood sugar spike when you eat them.
Eating below the number of calories you burn will make you lose weight regardless of where those calories are from.
People don't get that because they don't bother to do the research, that's all.
Yeah, I know... I've given up at that front with some of the comments here... It's unfortunate, but I feel the whole issue with many topics in nutrition is that it's unreasonable to expect for most people to read up on organic chemistry and metabolism lol And even if you have some understanding, much is still far from understood well.
So most people end up with a superficial (mis)understanding. And Fruits, Corn Syrup, fresh juice, "100 % juice but actually it's concentrate" get all tossed together in one bag because omg Fructose.
I've certainly seen an increase in people on- and offline claiming fruits are essentially death cookies. Sometimes even expanding that to peas etc. because they realised Fructose is in them.
