I was a patient of Dr. Eric Westman at Duke, and remembered that he and Dr. Yancy did a study comparing a very LC/Keto diet to a low GI diet. Here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19099589/

Quote:
Conclusion: Dietary modification led to improvements in glycemic control and medication reduction/elimination in motivated volunteers with type 2 diabetes. The diet lower in carbohydrate led to greater improvements in glycemic control, and more frequent medication reduction/elimination than the low glycemic index diet. Lifestyle modification using low carbohydrate interventions is effective for improving and reversing type 2 diabetes.


The study was for the impact on diabetes, but would track if you are looking for weight loss as well.

If you are looking at the GI diet for Diabetes, there is a Diabetes section here that would have more information and other options. Dr David Unwin
In the UK uses the glycemic index and is famous for converting common foods like bread and rice into GI infographics, such as these: https://phcuk.org/sugar/

All the best,
