The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
But, when you eat, blood glucose goes up and when you don't eat, blood glucose and insulin go down. The longer it's been since your last meal, the lower, typically, your blood glucose and insulin will be. And the higher, things like GLP1, glucagon-like peptide 1, glucagon being a hormone that's also secreted when you are in a fasted state or a low blood glucose state.

Blood sugar and insulin go up when you eat. They go down when you don't eat. And other hormones go up when you don't eat.
The longer it's been since your last meal, the lower typically your blood glucose and insulin will be.
fasting or carbohydrate restriction in the context of the ketogenic diet you have a protracted prolonged suppression of the hormone insulin and a corresponding increase in an elevation of glucagon
