wow, wtaf? is there an IF downvote brigade here?
I think it's because keto is not super healthy long term. You need fiber, friend. You. Need. Fiber.
That being said I'm a big believer of you get to choose what you want to eat, so do what you want with your own body!
I didn’t experience any health problems and fiber is explicitly encouraged as a way to get unavoidable carbs down. Like I said, you have to avoid the fad keto stuff that I luckily got in before it took off. Sounds like most people are only going off the dangerous/nonsensical fad keto stuff that all diets are subject to with enough popularity. Basic rule of thumb is if someone wants you to buy anything more than just food (supplement, pills, etc) stay away. Keto (the actual dietary principle) is just based on a different distribution of macronutrients when achieving your caloric deficit. I wasn’t trying to disparage IF, just offering the comment OP another option in his failed diet search.
Sure, but keto says it totally fine to eat a steak and a stick of butter and nothing else. That doesn't seem sustainable.
Also I've never met anyone that does keto that allows any carbs. I'm glad that apparently that's not the only way though.
To be clear, I do not care if all you eat is steaks and butter. Not my business. Just trying to offer insight into the down votes. I don't think it's the IF crew doing it. It's probably people who are anti-keto.
