Hi Eric,
Wow! 130 grams. Well the USDA carb calculator say I should eat 400 gram a day. This is simple palm waxing (corruption). The USDA food pyramid is total for sale corruption. And I bet her nutritionist allows for fiber subtraction from her carb count too.
Here is the thing. Ask her if she were to take her car to the mechanic and he NOT fix what she complained about repeatably, would she still go back to him? Ask her how is that nutritionist working for her? Why is she still going back? She is clearly addicted and the advice she is getting amounts to “those DT’s [Delirium Tremens] are terrible. I think you should have a beer.”
As far as the “restrictions” goes. Keep a chart of what she is actually eating. If it is anything like my experience, she is eating a very, very narrow list of things. I wondered what I could eat when I started too (started with steaks). I now eat possibly two to four times the variety I have EVER eaten in my life. You just have to learn how to cook keto (prepared keto/paleo/primal in the store is usually false advertising.) If she already does home cooking, she is half way there. How many way can you cook an egg!?!?!
She need to get with a natropath or someone that understand Keto so that she is explained what will happen to her when she goes through withdrawal (she will need a lot of pink salt when she pisses off 10 lbs of inflammation water weight) and how to cope with the creepy crawlies all over her skin during the process. And the mental issues. I though I was going the starve to death, even though I was surrounded with tons of food I could eat.
Also, after the addiction vanished and you learn to cook keto, your sense of taste returns and a whole new world opens up for you. I never realized black pepper has nuances!
Also, if she would actually watch this, here is the corruption where her nutritionist is coming from:

Ya, follow the money. Big ag waxes big gov’s waxes big pharma waxes big gov waxes big med waxes waxes big gov waxes big ag … Everyone makes out like a mint, except the public that really gets screwed.
One of the biggest sadness’ of growing old has been the realization of how much corruption goes on in these institutions. Luckily not all of them. The Emergency Room allopath that diagnosed me with T2 put me on keto (though I did not know it was called keto at the time), He really knew his stuff. When it comes to diabetes, most allopaths and nutritionists are idiots out to make a buck off you committing suicide on the installment plan. Fortunately, NOT ALL OF THEM.
