A distinction needs to be made between a) keto vs USDA pyramid, and b) keto vs a diet with sufficient protein, and carb content tailored to the individual's activity level and tolerance for carbs. My point is that individualization > blanketly prescribed keto dieting. In my experience with clients, as well as what's been seen in the research, I can tell you that keto is not the universal answer to weight/fat loss.

Thanks, Alan. That makes a lot of sense. Basically people should probably eat a little more protein to stay saturated + they get a slightly higher thermic effect.
