The benefit of low carb is the reduction in your body's production of Insulin.
Insulin resistance after decades of high carb diets, regardless of the # of calories consumed, is the source of all metabolic disease.
Low carb is going to reverse this, a simple reduction in calories won't.
The low carb diet also has access to your entirety of fat stores.
Insulin resistance will result in a huge amount of insulin in your blood stream. Insulin prevents fat from being removed from your fat storage so a reduction in calories, while it does show a short term (i.e.6 week) reduction in body weight, it also reduces your BMR which is why people regain the weight lost.
Once the alpha cells in your pancrease are insulin resistant, they will be producing glucagon causing elevated blood sugar compounding the problem.
tl/dr; - Insulin resistance is the source of all metabolic disease. Reduce it via a low carb/fasting lifestyle.
