There are carbs, proteins and fat. If you reduce carbs significantly, the fat and protein MUST increase. Evidence on “seed oils” is limited and variable, but arguably increasing “oils” isn’t very helpful. Eating real foods with higher fat contents - naturally higher fat - helps. Demonizing saturated fat has done a lot of harm.

Ain’t that the truth! I am in the midst of eating much clean beef and other proteins, as well as increasing my saturated fat intake. Cut out most veg and fruit. Been 3 days, and seems to have solved a health issue I have had for @18 months. 3 days!!! See my doc today, who has been trying to solve this for past 18 months.

Yes, but the ratios are important. Keto is high fat, moderate protein, low carb for good reasons. The main one being that burning fat for energy is how you get in ketosis. If you don’t eat enough fat to support ketosis, your body will burn muscle protein. Which is obviously not good. Most people who fail at keto have their ratios off.
