Calorie restriction is typically done by cutting fat, which means adding more carbohydrates. Carbs raise blood sugar, which triggers insulin. Insulin tells your body to store excess blood sugar AS FAT. Cutting calories more can result in lowered metabolism since the high insulin level prevents your body from accessing stored fat for fuel.

Keto (low carb high fat) diet is specifically designed to minimize the rise in blood sugar and therefore minimize the rise in insulin level. Once your body gets adapted to burning dietary fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates (this takes a few days to a few weeks) and with low insulin levels, then your body can easily BURN STORED FAT for fuel, too. YAY! Weight loss.

For me, the biggest problem with calorie restriction is that I am always feeling so hungry, so it is nearly impossible to stick with for very long. With keto, eat within your carb and protein limit, then eat fat until you are not hungry anymore. So, you still have to be diligent about tracking food but counting carbs not calories

Well to answer that, You should know how keto diet works.

Normally, your diet is high in carbohydrates, which are broken down into glucose, or blood sugar, for use as energy. As glucose enters your bloodstream, your body releases insulin to store excess glucose as fat. The more carbohydrates, the more glucose. The more glucose, the more insulin, and the more insulin, the more fat.

The keto diet takes advantage of the fact that when your meals are high-fat and low-carbohydrate, there is no insulin spike, and you don't add to your fat reserves. There is a lot to know how benefits of the keto diet can be huge.
