Keto works because it actually changes the way your body breaks down fat and causes it it burn through stored fat quicker. If you're going to do keto get some ketone testing strips to tell when your in ketosis because the diet is basically pointless other wise.
Long term ketosis isn't healthy for most people so once you've lost your fat or after a few months you'll want to stop and just start watching your calories as a life style not a diet. Keto is scientific and there is a lot of real info out there amongst all the bull shit so just do your research with a critical mind.
Edit: also you can do keto as vegetarian/vegan, it's really fucking annoying but totally possible.
Yeah, so in this case you're tricking your body into burning it's "emergency" fat stores while still giving it enough protein that it doesn't start to burn muscle too. And enough calories from fat that rest of your systems still function. One reason you don't want to do it long term is you can permanently fuck your metabolism and change the way you break down and store fat.
Nope, sorry but you are objectively completely wrong. Ketoacidosis is a different phenomenon and occurs when your ketone levels are an ORDER OF MAGNITUDE higher than in ordinary ketosis. Ketoacidosis is starving to death. Ketosis is perfectly healthy, works for weight loss, is good for mental tasks because ketones are great brain fuel, and so on. It's possible to be in ketosis for years and years and NEVER enter ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis occurs when you go into ketosis and then don't eat for like six days straight, which no keto diet EVER recommends anyone do.
