Keto (the actual dietary principle) is just based on a different distribution of macronutrients when achieving your caloric deficit.

Keto is any diet that maintains the metabolic state of ketosis. This can be done with overfeeding, underfeeding, fasting... and doesn't even require complete nutrition (though that is always a good idea).
