I can’t argue with what you say because I don’t know the data, but ketosis does seem to make starvation a lot more bearable and I have seen family members do well long-term with pretty stringent carb restriction. Like you—it sounds like, my burn rate keeps me what non-athletes keep saying is a little too skinny, despite an unrestricted diet.
