[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These threads crack me up, because there are always ignorant people that chime in and call people who eat healthy as having disordered mentality.

A ketogenic diet is not simply an Atkins diet.  Yes the macros are: high fat, moderate protein, and low carb but it's not license to eat bacon and pounds of margarine:

here's a sample keto meal plan from LiveStrong (https://www.livestrong.com/article/460061-ketogenic-menus-meal-plans/):

[quote]Breakfast
For breakfast, choose non-starchy vegetables, providing up to 15 g of carbohydrates, a protein and some fat. Have cheesy scrambled eggs with 2 to 4 eggs with onions, mushrooms and spinach cooked in plenty of olive oil and topped with 1 to 2 oz. of cheddar cheese, or 2 eggs served with sausages and bacon, along with a roasted tomato drizzled with olive oil. Or roll slices of smoked salmon with avocado and cream cheese for a delicious riceless breakfast sushis.

Lunch
Avoid grains, starchy vegetables, sugar, fruits, milk and yogurt and make sure you get no more than 15 g of carbohydrates from non-starchy vegetables. A salad is one of the most convenient meal to have for lunch. Fill your plate with leafy greens, such as aragula, Romaine lettuce and radichio, along with slices of cucumbers, avocado and cherry tomatoes. Top your salad with protein from canned tuna, a chicken breast, slices of beef or hard-boiled eggs. Sprinkle with cheese, bacon, almonds, walnuts or macadamia nuts, as desired, and drizzle with a low-carb salad dressing. Alternatively, have a vegetable and meatball soup, without any potato, noodle or rice, accompanied with cheese if you like.

Dinner
For dinner, choose a protein, whether it is chicken, turkey, fish, seafood, pork or beef. Have 4 to 8 oz. of salmon, or pork chops or meatballs. Serve your protein with a big pile of non-starchy vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, green beans or red bell pepper, but make sure your serving of non-starchy vegetables do not provide more than about 15 g of carbohydrates. Include at least 1 to 2 tbsp. of fat that you can use to cook or to flavor your foods. Prepare a mushroom and cream sauce for your steak, use olive oil for cooking your meat and vegetables or simply drizzle it over your foods or add a few pats of butter to your pile of vegetables.

Snacks
Your snacks should not contain more than 5 g of carbohydrates and should provide plenty of fat and protein. Have a little bit of leftover meat, chicken or fish, hard-boiled eggs or deviled eggs, cucumber slices topped with a tuna salad, celery sticks spread with almond butter or a few cubes of any of your favorite cheese.[/quote]

The typical American eats a lot of processed food + grains + sweets + wine.

And yet somehow "normal" Americans are "healthy" and everyone else is disordered!!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

These threads crack me up too because there is always a true believer who is still fat, doesn’t exercise, and/or has kept weight off for about a month.   Citing a misspelled Livestrong article is the carb free cherry on top![/quote]
