I certainly find that a low carb diet works for me in terms of weight loss. But so does intermittent fasting - which if you are fasting for 24hrs twice a week, as you said, means you are bound to lose weight.
My view these days is that most diets work if you can stick to them for long enough, even the fad diets like Slim Fast. Keto, Paleo, low carb, Atkins, count your macros, can all work if you find them sustainable. Many don't and find the simple healthy eating approach of Slimming World or WW easier to maintain as a lifestyle change long term.
I read a book call Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes which puts forward the carbs/insulin theory and is a compelling case for eating fewer carbs . Personally, I think sugar is a bigger long term health issue than moderate carb consumption.
I have to say though, Bill, your combative and at times aggressive, posts on this thread don't really help your argument.
