It depends on their metabolic health.

If both people are insulin sensitive, the difference between a quality whole food diet and a quality keto diet will likely be minimal.

If both people are insulin resistant, the keto diet will typically perform much better. That is because insulin resistant people have high insulin all the time, and that makes it hard for them to burn fat and therefore they end up with more hunger.
