Fair enough, but apparently this study included “low carb diets” that are not even close to the tiny amounts of carbs fin keto diets.

My son and husband have been doing keto for nearly 6 years now and both have maintained the weight loss. My husband is probably more of a carnivore than keto. I would guess he eats less than 15 carbs a day unless he adds in nuts and cheese. He’s 6’2”, 185

In any case, some epileptics still use the keto diet. My son has not had a seizure in about 5 1/2 years. His pediatric neurologist said several of his patients were only doing keto instead of meds. The last year with that doc, my son came off his meds, but a year later his adult neurologist convinced him to go back on at the lowest dose. He said as a young adult he wouldn’t be able to eat right or get enough sleep (and might drink too much with friends). I was kind of bummed he went back on meds, but he’s an adult. He still does keto 90% of the time. He has to back off every few weeks because he looses to much weight. He’s 5’10” and 150.
