Lot of different nutritional issues and approaches. I am a firm believer that there is no 'one way' for everyone to eat. But some things emerge that are important and fairly new. The keto diet has been around a while for epileptics and now used by many people. All distance runners know about ketosis. So some do it to lose weight, some for blood sugar control (I did for a while)and some for physical fitness (the most remarkable fitness person I know uses it regularly in his own system to achieve a remarkable Navy SEAL/Army Ranger level of fitness, jumps out of airplanes to ski down mountains and can do hundreds of pushups). I was T2 diabetic and by controlling what (low carb) and when (timed eating) I am able to stay 'normal' without meds. Keto is very low carb and what one eats. IF/timed eating is WHEN I eat and it has a significant impact on my blood sugar, I have daily postings of my blood sugar and A1Cs to show it works, it is not a diet but timed eating, the low carb IS a diet and if I need to I will drop carbs into keto if that keeps me off meds, so far I have not had to.
My diet is NOT based on CICO as having time when my body is not processing any food allows it to recover blood sugar levels. When I eat and the type of calories are more significant than the actual calorie count. I have had to add calories to keep my weight up but I can't up the carbs or the blood sugar goes up.
