Ketogenic diets better at weight loss?

1-Eric Westman trial

Conclusion

Dietary modification led to improvements in glycemic control and medication reduction/elimination in motivated volunteers with type 2 diabetes. The diet lower in carbohydrate led to greater improvements in glycemic control, and more frequent medication reduction/elimination than the low glycemic index diet. Lifestyle modification using low carbohydrate interventions is effective for improving and reversing type 2 diabetes.

"Current ketogenic diets are all characterized by elevations of free fatty acids, which may lead to metabolic inefficiency by activation of the PPAR system and its associated uncoupling mitochondrial uncoupling proteins. "

5- Very-low-carbohydrate diets and preservation of muscle mass Anssi H Manninencorresponding author

"a VLCARB is, if anything, protective against muscle protein catabolism during energy restriction, provided that it contains adequate amounts of protein."

6-  Composition of weight lost during short-term weight reduction.

"Composition of weight lost (percentage) during the ketogenic diet was water 61.2, fat 35.0, protein 3.8. During the mixed diet, composition of loss was water 37.1, fat 59.5, protein 3.4... "

"The diet lower in carbohydrate led to greater improvements in glycemic control, and more frequent medication reduction/elimination than the low glycemic index diet"

8- Ketosis and appetite-mediating nutrients and hormones after weight loss. Sumithran P1 

"The circulating concentrations of several hormones and nutrients which influence appetite were altered after weight loss induced by a ketogenic diet, compared with after refeeding. The increase in circulating ghrelin and subjective appetite which accompany dietary weight reduction were mitigated when weight-reduced participants were ketotic."

 9- The effects of high protein diets on thermogenesis, satiety and weight loss

"There is convincing evidence that a higher protein intake increases thermogenesis and satiety compared to diets of lower protein content."

10- Effects of a high-protein ketogenic diet on hunger, appetite, and weight loss in obese men feeding ad libitum.

"In the short term, high-protein, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diets reduce hunger and lower food intake significantly more than do high-protein, medium-carbohydrate nonketogenic diets."

I found these reference from the March 2016 article The Ketogenic Diet 

I myself am on a ketogenic diet as I follow LCHF diet.  

However, I am still not convinced that it is superior to other diets.  It works for me but recently I lost weight not because I am in nutritional ketosis but because I ate less on a  

diet medication, Qsymia.
