I have chronic issues with IBS-D. Been on keto since 8/2018. I do better when I have more carbs. I'm considering trying "low carb" vs keto. Everyone is different so apparently we need to figure it out for ourselves.

Last I read it's not vitamin K. It's more specific with vitamin K2 needed to oversee the delivery of Calcium to the right place in your body. K2 from fermented veggies, or healthy, pasture raised meat. Duck fat is very high in vitamin K2.


Dr Mona constantly referred to ketogenic diet as restrictive. I don't think it's on purpose, but it repeats the popular but false talking point by those who have an agenda against low carb and ketogenic diets. I've looked at so many keto recipes, and watched so many keto recipe videos on youtube... and I have yet to see any that are restrictive; maybe carnivore is restrictive, but if you are on a well planned carnivore diet, you get the same benefits from a healthy microbiome; example: you eat fermented meat, instead of fermented vegetables, and you eat a variety of fatty meat cuts from all parts of the animal, not just straight protein. I understand the doctor may have not been talking about lazy keto, or dirty keto as being restrictive.


I have added chia seeds to my list of acceptable foods because occasionally I really, really miss oatmeal. But it's not a daily food for me. Same with other vegetables. There are times I WANT a little more variety and I enjoy it. Other times, protein and fat is enough. From what I've read, most people who follow a ketogenic lifestyle become more intuitive with their eating; they not only control their food intake better, but they know what they need to eat based on how they feel

As someone with Crohn's Disease, this info scares me a bit. My doctor told me not to cut out whole grains, beans, root vegetables for this very reason. But how I do that and treat PCOS.
