I think you should test what works best for your body.
I actually don't do strict keto, I have a lot of protein in my meals, way more than I should if I were on keto alone.
But I've tried balanced, low fat, high fat, etc. And I have found this works best for my body day-to-day. I think that if you don't feel good, then its ultimately unsustainable and bad for you and that should be your ultimate gauge.
You can't "fall" for a metabolic state. While there are plenty of people pushing faux keto diets as a means to sell you something you don't need, putting yourself into a metabolic state is a biological reality.
