• Carbs are most important, but calories count.
• Commit to no potatoes, rice, pasta, white bread for the duration of your diet.

It's doable.
Re: the "for the duration of your diet" once I stopped the diet, I gained it all back, so you need a sustainable way of eating.
I went on a keto diet a few years ago and lost 24 lbs and had much improved blood test results. But, I was very strict 20 carbs, weighed everything I ate, it was unsustainable, at least for me.
I went back to normal eating after the blood test results and gained it all back.
I have now been on a carnivore diet for 4 months, my weight dropped from 170 to 134 and now I'm trying to eat enough to sustain my weight.
This is much easier for me that Keto, just eat meat, eggs, bacon and butter as the basics, add some seafood or chicken if you like.
My wife complained I looked like Santa clause, now she says I'm to skinny, I'm not, I think she's jealous!
I'm interested in my next set of blood tests, to see how this high fat diet affects them. Some people have lowered cholesterol, some don't change and there is a subset that has an increase in cholesterol.
Getting enough fat is the key, it provides satiety and energy. If you decide to try this, be aware, it takes your gut microbiome time adjust and you will probably have diarrhea for a couple weeks, a low carb to carnivore transition may help with that.
