Not really as low-carb diets are done mostly by people who do IF. Not all carbs are not evil! We've evolved to digest milk in adulthood and take advantage of slow carbs. The bad carbs are the refined ones - we haven't had much of these in the past. Low-carb diets are especially unsuited for women. If you look at people who lived healthy and long lives, they weren't gulping on coconut oil and refined MCT oils. Anyway, I don't think empty sugar calories are much different than empty fat calories. Carbs bring more nutrients than fats like coconut, for example. Nobody also cares on the microbiota effect of fat overload! Again, if you have epilepsy or schizophrenia, okay, no doubt, keto is great as therapy, but is it great for just anybody and does it lead to a long healthy life? There are no data to support such a statement! On the contrary, all anecdotal data points that moderation is the best strategy. Oh, wait - 6 meals a day is also a modern brainfart - people used to eat 1-2 times a day with no snacking! So, enough fad diets with no scientific proof behind them! The only thing that makes sense today is backed by research - maintain mitochondrial QC, cycle mito fusion with fission - all chronic diseases pretty much are caused by dysfunctional mitochondria, and I don't think keto supports that strategy well!
