Note this from this study: "Low carbohydrate dietary patterns favouring animal-derived protein and fat sources, from sources such as lamb, beef, pork, and chicken, were associated with higher mortality, whereas those that favoured plant-derived protein and fat intake, from sources such as vegetables, nuts, peanut butter, and whole-grain breads, were associated with lower mortality"

So if you want low carbs, don't eat too much meat.

Plant based diets, such as the Mediterranean diet have been shown lead to reduced all cause mortality in randomized control trials [1]. Getting your diet right really isn't that hard, just eat fresh plant based food.
