One thing I liked about DietDoctor's new Keto Course, Part 1, https://www.dietdoctor.com/keto-course is that he basically says Keto IS the old Atkins diet.
He and Dr Westman peg the level at which most everybody can "be in ketosis" at 20 g total carbs. That number was taken from the patient files and Dr Atkin's own experience, so when Dr. Westman was designing his first clinical trial on LC, he was sure the subjects would be in "ketosis".
A keto diet is any level of carbs that puts YOU in ketosis, that may be 10g because of your long standing diabtes, it may be 50g for a young male athlete.
