There's actually quite a lot of research on the issue. Before "keto" became a fad, ketogenic diets were a long established treatment in Humans for people suffering from inflammatory forms of epilepsy. This was actually mentioned in the other article, but you didn't bother to read it:

And there is most certainly differences in how the body processes certain foods. It's proven that low carb diets work faster at weight loss. Although in the long run, all low calorie diets will result in similar weight loss:

Women on both diets reduced calorie consumption by comparable amounts at 3 and 6 months. The very low carbohydrate diet group lost more weight (8.5 +/- 1.0 vs. 3.9 +/- 1.0 kg; P < 0.001) and more body fat (4.8 +/- 0.67 vs. 2.0 +/- 0.75 kg; P < 0.01) than the low fat diet group. Mean levels of blood pressure, lipids, fasting glucose, and insulin were within normal ranges in both groups at baseline. Although all of these parameters improved over the course of the study, there were no differences observed between the two diet groups at 3 or 6 months. beta- Hydroxybutyrate increased significantly in the very low carbohydrate group at 3 months (P = 0.001). Based on these data, a very low carbohydrate diet is more effective than a low fat diet for short-term weight loss and, over 6 months, is not associated with deleterious effects on important cardiovascular risk factors in healthy women.
