The one thing I can think of in humans is a study by David Ludwig looking at metabolic rate in low carb versus higher carb for people in maintenance, everybody lost weight on the same diet, then switched out for maintenance. The last big thing that will come out of Nusi is a bigger repeat of that experiment, I guess we'll see about that.
With BMR--I dunno, how I feel about it depends. My BMR is likely lower than it was at 190 pounds. But I feel better, and I generally feel more energetic. After a Thanksgiving dinner, a person's metabolic rate will be higher due to the thermic effect of food, more so for protein, then carbs, not so much for fat. Maybe with low insulin my BMR is higher, I don't know. I do know that I'm more energetic on a more ketogenic diet. I can eat a thousand calorie ketogenic meal and work out minutes later (although it took some time to have the tolerance to dietary fat to do this), not something I could do on high carb, or with mixed carb and fat.
Subjectively I have more energy, less aches and pains, lower blood pressure, less crazy. I think I like what my body's doing with the energy it is using, whatever amount it might be going through.
