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.

a low carbohydrate diet which is four percent carbohydrates in the study Alters cortisol metabolism independently of weight loss in obese men this enhances cortisol regeneration by 11 beta hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase type 1 and reduces cortisol inactivation by a-ring reductases in the liver without affecting subcutaneous adipose 11 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1.
there's good evidence that on ketogenic diets with less than 4% carbohydrates — the body does make more cortisol the enzymes in the liver 11 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type one goes up which makes more cortisol
ketogenic diets raise cortisol ketogenic diets shift the precursor enzymatic systems 11 beta hydroxy Sera dehydrogenase toward a phenotype that makes more cortisol and its precursors in humans
