If you have an autoinflammatory disease (of which there are many) then absolutely anything that lowers blood sugar and slows you down will improve your symptoms

If you have an autoinflammatory disease (of which there are many) then absolutely anything that lowers blood sugar and slows you down will improve your symptoms for the simple reason that your body doesn't have quite as much spare energy to attack itself. But you're still deliberately making life difficult your body, so a shorter lifespan isn't too surprising.
Vert short periods of ketogenesis are a different story entirely.

- gnulinux 8y agoI'm not following you? The paper I gave can equally suggest longer lifespan, or it can suggest animal-based diet causes shorter lifespan. Also anecdotal evidence seems to suggest keto gives people more energy, not less unlike what you suggested, and I'm struggling to find any paper supporting these claims (both yours and anecdotal reddit evidence)?
- Nomentatus 8y agoWith a serious inflammatory disease, you'll have more energy if your body tones down the cytokines than the little energy you had before; but not normal energy because you've got 30% less blood sugar to play with. People in normal health do less under a ketogenic diet, as one would expect.
