You do know that ketogenic diets have vegetables high in fiber, right? You're thinking of a carnivore diet, aka the diet that humans and our ancestors have been eating for over 2 million years without any adverse health effects. The Inuit have been shown to have some of the most diverse and healthy microbiomes ever studied, with absolutely zero fiber, and many people going on a 0 fiber carnivore diet have significantly improved the diversity and health of their microbiome as well. So even if a ketogenic diet were to remove fiber, the benefits that you are espousing don't exist. In fact, many people go from a high fiber ketogenic diet to a zero fiber carnivore diet and significantly improve their microbiomes. As to long-term health outcomes of ketogenic and carnivore diets? The anthropological data is very clear on this, as is the fossil record: when populations move from predominantly hunting to agrarian diets the height and health of the populations decline, with smaller brains, smaller jaws and crooked teeth, poor dentition, signs of tuberculosis in their spines, poor wound healing, and other signs of poor health immediately after turning to agriculture. We see this and the fossil record of ancient populations, and we saw it in real time over the past century with Native North Americans and native Australians. You guys are experts in your field, but this is definitely not your field, and looking into this more closely and carefully would serve you well; not to mention the people that you are influencing on the internet like this. People are going to listen to you as authorities, but you aren't understanding or recognizing the full picture here, so that is going to be misleading for people and point them down the wrong path. Happy to discuss sometime if you like.

Been doing Dr Berg Keto for 2.5 years. Started at 110kg down to 75kg in the first year. Had a mass of health problems before keto, most of them vanished or lessened with Keto. Haven't been this fit and healthy for decades. All because of keto.

I lost 125 lbs. over three years doing Keto. I saw my doctor once a year. Each time, my blood pressure was lower, and I was eventually taken off one of my HBP meds, my EKGs improved, and my metabolic syndrome disappeared as well. I have kept the weight off for two additional years.

If you are eating lots of salad with dark leafy greens as well as lots of cruciferous vegetables you will be getting lots of fibre. vegetables are still carbohydrates

Keto helped me lose weight. Got rid of my diabetes. My Blood pressure medication has become of half what it was.

Keto isn't for everybody. It's like religion--ppl need to stop pushing it.

(Basic info here good.)

Wow, the misinformation and ignorance from these doctors are astounding. On the keto diet, you have plenty of vegetables and we'll get plenty of fiber to feed your gut microbiome! I've been on the keto diet for years and always ate the wide variety of vegetables. This is why people have such a distrust in doctors. The gut microbiome does not need 9 to 12 cups of vegetables to sustain itself either. Incorporate variety, and the bacteria are more than satisfied.

I'm losing weight and feeling perfect .I'm on whole grains diet and it is fantastic. Just listen to your body !

[GodCrush]

Eat low carb veggies like Broccoli, green leafs, squash! They have alot of fibers.

I’ve done keto. It definitely works for weight loss but I don’t think it’s the diet for everyone. I notice am energy difference off keto. On it I had a more consistent level of energy but definitely also had less energy.

Alzheimer's is being called type 3 Diabetes, have you looked at that?

[Anna-nudb]

Hahaha the lack of knowledge!
My friend survived invasive breastcancer because she reduced her input of carbohydrates to a minimum 6 month before she was diagnosed. She still had lots of veggies with her legumes, meat, fish, mushrooms, eggs and nuts. Don't forget: cancer needs sugar to grow.

Keto works, definitely; I used it to drop 16 pounds in the leadup to my TKR surgery. I just find after several weeks that the food proscriptions make it a tedious way to live. Some people are alright with this but I am not one of them.

[buckybarnes]

That's all that Dr. Berg (YouTube) talks about, he sells the whole plan and really leans heavy into it

[railtonfeagus]

Doing a keto diet to lose weight and living a permanent keto lifestyle are two different things. Plus keto doesn't need to be low fiber; I eat lots of spinach fried in butter and garlic, lots of steamed broccoli topped with melted parmesan and cheddar cheese. You can still get lots of fiber by cutting out carbs. Though I suppose my diet is not strictly 'keto' as I don't get 60-70% of my calories from fat. I suppose I'm more of a 'use as much cheese, butter and olive oil as you like for flavor and to reduce hunger cravings, and eat a veggie centered menu with lots of protein (without cutting off the skin and fat), but zero carbs (so no fruit, potatoes etc either)', which is probably not strictly keto.

[ginnyfromdablock]

Vegetables are carbohydrates as well. Stop the false information. You are not telling the whole story!

[thestablishmentblues]

How have the Masai survived for millennia?

[Handsoflight]

Take psyllium and add oat fibre to keto breads And pastas . Vegetables have fiber also…. Especially greens.

[MindMeltMusic]

That’s not true about the fiber. They use net carbs which is minus the fiber. So fiber is allowed. How else would you ever take a poop.

[rubyrubyful]

Hahaha...'doesn't go well'..👌👌
Well said Doc.😊
