The other thing that the keto proponents really don't promote (or know offhand) is that one can still reap the benefits of keto in a mild nutritional ketogenic state. Dr. Terry Wahls in her book, "The Wahls Protocol" points out research that shows that medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) manufacture more ketones per calories than other fats. This allows for a higher uptake of carbs & protein, but with the body still generating a mild excess of ketone bodies. MCTs are basically the richest in coconut oil and palm oil, so a MCT Keto Diet tends to be far more adoptable than a fully keto diet.
