Keto diet is a no-carb diet. This induces the body into ketosis, which is consuming body tissue (presumably excess fat), converting it into simple sugars to feed the brain. This is the typically job of carbohydrates.
It is a natural mechanism built into the body considered to be an *emergency* condition. It is literally what happens during starvation: sugar will be synthesized from wherever the body can find it in order to keep the brain alive.
