I thought Keto was low carb, not low calorie
Article doesn’t seem to say how many calories the study considered low-calorie.
This is a combination of both.

I don’t like where I was 6 years ago. I think I’ll stay where I am.
“The diet works by dramatically reducing carbohydrate intake while moderating protein and increasing healthy fat consumption. This macronutrient shift forces the body to produce ketone bodies, particularly beta-hydroxybutyrate, which researchers believe may directly influence cellular aging mechanisms.”
It’s low carb, but also moderate protein.
LOL! Yes, that’s the way it goes, isn’t it?
I was with a lifestyle chiropractic group about 5 years ago and they pushed a no-carb, intermittent fasting diet. I asked a trainer what other diets are good. “This one,” she said, pointing to hers. Their branded vitamins were outrageously expensive.
I could be wrong, but I think in some ways Keto mimics low calorie diets.
Don’t put your 6-year-old on this diet!
I am sorry. Any article that provides conclusions about a “study” that does not provide links to the study is questionable. It has been known for decades that low calorie diets tend to extend life spans “keto” or not.
Tega Egwabor gave no attribution to the university, the authors, or the original journal article.
For those of us who like to read the original research, this article sucks.
Keto contains very little to no carbohydrates. That automatically limits calories; but as the Keto/Low Carb folks say, all calories are not the same. Carbs have very different effects on blood sugar than proteins and fats.
The Ketogenic diet was originally a treatment for pediatric epilepsy. It is still used for children with epilepsy.
