The carnivore advocates have gotten to me a little bit in that when I read Scher saying;

Quote:
For instance, they refer to the keto diet as requiring followers to “forgo nearly all carbohydrates.” I would have phrased this as allowing followers to “eat almost endless amounts of above-ground veggies as their source of real-food, natural carbohydrates.”


my immediate thought is yes, some keto advocates, some versions of keto. But my personal bias at this point--there may be some value to those deep leafy greens etc., but the most nutritious part of the diet is mostly the animal foods. Also I follow a genuinely ketogenic diet--I actually care that it probably has me throwing lots of ketones, so limitless above ground veggies would still drive my carbohydrate intake way too high. We don't need a fig leaf (are fig leaves edible?) to cover up the shame of eating a diet that's high in meat.

Can't wait to see how the Daily Mail covers this story...
