As a treatment for seizures/epilepsy: http://pediatrics.aappublications.or...119/3/535.full

The ketogenic diet (KD), developed in the early 1920s, had fallen into disuse during the 1970s and 1980s with the rapid development of new anticonvulsant agents for epilepsy.1 The recent resurgence of interest and use of the diet can be dated to the American Epilepsy Society’s meeting in 1996. Currently, it is perhaps more effective than most of the newer medications.

Research on treatment for alzheimer's and parkinson's disease: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2367001/

Recent studies have raised the possibility that the ketogenic diet could provide symptomatic benefit and might even be disease modifying in Alzheimer’s disease.

Neurological conditions in general, including epilepsy, cancer, brain trauma, etc: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2898565/

In metabolic conditions, cancer, trauma, and ischemia, the ketogenic diet may confer a protective effect by providing an additional energy substrate to tissue at risk of cell death. However, ketosis may have more complicated effects. In one model, rats fed the ketogenic diet show marked upregulation of both the ketone transporter and the glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT-1), promoting the influx of nutrients into the brain

Single person study of aerobic performance in ketosis: http://eatingacademy.com/how-a-low-c...ic-performance

Basically, much more energy used from fat. Able to maintain higher constant energy output, but maximum force was not as good.

Weight loss: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18175736

Long Term weight loss, other health markers (blood pressure, cholesterol) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23651522

Trying to find one more study, I always lose the link.

EDIT: http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/3/1/9

Study showing amount of weight lost that was actual fat loss increased as carbohydrates decreased.

EDIT2: Also the study at the bottom of my sig.
