Something I found kind of oddball about the keto diet community is that they aren’t just recommending low carbs. They push people to eat more fat. I’ve seen a friend fail to lose weight on keto and he was eating tons of stuff like cheese and bacon.
The “eat less carbs” message is great IMO but I think a lot of people need to eat less period. Personally I found that intentionally eating high-protein foods was a good way for me to be satiated with less carbs. A protein bar will fill me up, a chunk of cheese with twice as many calories won’t.
But I also acknowledge that people are different. I’m sure there people who are easily satiated by fat and can therefore eat unmetered fatty foods and lose weight.
