I still eat it because I love it, but most weekday lunch and dinner plans are without.

But that's my point. Keto people often push it as a magical bullet. But it's not. It is highly individual, and often the benefits are from cutting down processed carbs, but not things like oats, wholewheat, fruits.
I don't push Keto as an absolute solution either. I too feel that most people would benefit from less meat. I got to my lowest body weight when I went total Vegan for 6 months, but I was hungry all the time and I bonked really hard once about 35 miles into a ride. My philosophy of eating is only whole foods, healthy meats, and intermittent fasting. I feel this is where the greatest benefits are found.
