          Not in large volumes, but yes. The keto(genic) diet centers around using fat as a primary energy source. I do it as I have a chronic illness and having higher blood ketone concentrations helps immensely with my symptoms. If I have a high protein, lower fat meal (like sashimi), my ketone levels will drop, so I’ll supplement with a few tablespoons of medium-chain triglyceride oil to keep them level. It’s practically tasteless.

          an actual keto diet is basically only done out of genuine medical need, because yes it’s not tremendously fun. I’ve read about kids who do it to avoid seizures and they have to chug whipped cream and stuff.
