You can't just twist data to support your claim.

In one study they compare ketogenic against a normal diet with carbs. In the other study they let the mice "eat all they want".

We know nothing about the quality of the carbs, the amount and percentage of high glycemic carbs and the nutritional content.

I'll put a low carb diet with supplements up against a starvation diet any day. We'll look at health over a long period of time - and see who can stick with it.

Most of us have tried starvation diets and most of us have tried low carb diets. If the starvation diets worked - we would not have had to try the low carb diet.

I am not saying that a starvation diet is a bad thing. I am just saying that it is unrealistic to think that more than a few percent of people can stick with it - well into their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.
