Keto diet - for the sake of your health, guys (and gals?), even the Keto proponents say that you should be under careful medical supervision when you make the massive switch to a ketone-burning diet, which involves changing the primary hominid diet of the past many millions of years (which was the diet of the Great Apes-- 98% to 99% plant-based, supplemented during lean years by perhaps ingesting some insects).

On the things you need to be extremely careful about with regard to the Keto diet, please read this basic piece from Readers Digest

https://www.rd.com/health/diet-weight-loss/keto-diet-dangers/

which will alert you to the many possible dangers with a keto diet if it's not done properly-- such as loss of key nutrients, mineral imbalances, dehydration risk, body feeding on its own muscles and not just fat, etc etc.


And i'll say it again-- highly respected scientific nutritionists led by Canada's Dr./Prof. David Jenkins (who discovered the now-widely-used glycemic index) have shown that a plant-based version of keto is FAR HEALTHIER than a primarily carnivore approach to keto. Recall that the only longitudinal study of the Keto diet, recently published in The Lancet medical journal, showed that the Keto diet takes (on avg) FOUR YEARS OFF YOUR LIFE.

Here's just one quote from the text of that scientific report:
"Low carbohydrate dietary patterns favouring animal-derived protein and fat sources, from sources such as lamb, beef, pork, and chicken, were associated with higher mortality, whereas those that favoured plant-derived protein and fat intake, from sources such as vegetables, nuts, peanut butter, and whole-grain breads, were associated with lower mortality, suggesting that the source of food notably modifies the association between carbohydrate intake and mortality."


If you're going to insist on eating Keto, then in the much healthier plant-based version, you use avocados and lots of nut/seed butters to get that high daily fat/oil intake that Keto requires instead of butter, cheese, bacon, etc., all of which are proven carcinogens because they carry massive amounts of PCBs and other toxins.
