No it’s not, it’s about eating things that more easily signal to your body that you are full and learning to hear that signal, and in turn eating at a calorie deficit.
LOL. This couldn’t be further from what a Keto diet is trying to do. Quindraco nailed it. The Keto diet is meant kick your body into cannabilising its own fat stores for energy rather than use the energy from the food you’re eating.
If you want to see it in action, watch the series The Human Body EP 1. They chronicle someone who swam the English Channel. It took 14h and he lost about 20 lbs. doing it. The show speaks about the process, but basically, that is Keto.

No. Its about creating ketones out of fat cells that your body uses as a subsitute for carbs. Nothing to do with caloric deficit.
Why would the body be looking for carb substitutes?
Energy. Some organs can only work function by way of carbs, such as glucose. Like the brain.
So… Calorie deficit
If your aim is to trim fat from your brain, yes.
Brain works fine on ketones.
Edit: Look it up yourselves if you’re doubting.

Yes, yes. We know what the keto diet is pretending to do, but that’s all it’s doing: Pretending.
