From my understanding, you get into Autophagy much faster and more thoroughly when in ketosis. You can do it on high carb, but you may need to stop all calories longer than 24 hours. Autophagy is what you want because the body literally eats itself during this time. Researchers have found that the body is smart enough to eat the less optimally functioning cells first. That's why it greatly reduces the risks of cancer and certain disease.
Please understand also that much of this is very recent groundbreaking research. The Nobel Peace prize was awarded as recently as 2016 for Autophagy research.
