Perhaps her study is the one mentioned in today's Experts Ping-Pong on Protein Advice by someone reporting on the doings of the 85th ADA meeting:
For example, one new study looked at two groups of dieters: one with a high-protein regimen — 125 grams of protein and 171 grams of carbs — and one with a high-carbohydrate regimen — 68 grams of protein and 246 grams of carbs. Both groups were also required to exercise.

According to the Reuters article posted at the top, the women in the study who were following the low-carb, high-protein diet were consuming no more than 10% of their calories from carbs.

The current study is based on results from 53 obese women, half of whom were asked to follow the LCHP diet, in which less than 10% of their calories came from carbohydrates. The rest of the women followed a standard low-fat diet, in which fat made up only 30% of their total calories. Both groups consumed the same number of calories each day.

Of course the article doesn't state what the daily calorie intake is ... but even at 2000 cal. per day, 10% would be 200 calories, or 50g carbs. So the LCHP diet in Brehm's study would be at or below 50g carbs per day. Which makes it ketogenic.
