The reason I refuse to read about keto is that pretty much all doctors and public health organizations I’ve seen recommend basically the same things: whole grains, fruits, vegetables, replace saturated fats with unsaturated if possible, low fat dairy, nuts, legumes, fish, some poultry sometimes, strictly controlled alcohol.

Until these guys start recommending something such as keto my basic assumption is that it’s either a weird fringe diet or a diet only applicable to very specific medical issues (eg seizures) that me (not a medical professional) should not try on myself.

If I go to a doctor and they ask how my diet is and I tell them I eat the stuff I listed above, I’m fairly certain they will tell me good job. If I do some extreme fringe thing, I doubt it will be their response with the same likelihood (though a few probably like it).

This is just my personal opinion.
