  If you look at the studies she cites many (most that I spot checked) of them are using the formulation of ketogenic diet used to treat epileptics, and not the form that many people advocate as a life-style. Theis is esp. true of the ones that show negative health effects. These diets are low-carb, low-fiber, moderate fat and high protein. The ketogenic diets that are proposed for use by normal people are low-carb, high-fiber, high-fat and moderate protein. So they have a fundamentally different macro-nutrient ratio and include a high volume of low-carb veggies. This formulations also minimize Omega-6 polyunsaturted fat, and many studies listed use that a primary calorie source (there is a depreciated view that this was a healthy fat source).
