If weight loss is burning off excess fat, surely all diets are ketogenic, whatever method you use to reach ketosis? I can’t get my head round this!

If you are interested in how/why Keto works take a listen to the STEMtalk podcasts featuring Gary Taubes, there are many others discussions on the scientific application of keto on there, but Taubes is a good place to start.

Calorie counting won't generally put you in ketosis. It's low carb for keto. It used to be under 20g not sure what the recommendations are these days.
