ketogenic diet is a fad. just like any other diet (paleo and other shit). science today can tell you only that you have to eat a variety of foods, not too much or too little, mostly plants. personalized nutrition will be the solution tailored and true, but that takes a lot of resources and currently uninvented tech.

low carb has been around for decades. it's not a fad, by definition. it's also not a fad just because you're annoyed by it. things that are also not fads but probably also annoy you: yoga, jogging, veganism.

  sorry, it is a fad when you put it under a name of keto, or paleo, and try to scientifically prettify it. funny you should state the following, I practice all three. veganism isn't a diet, it never was. if it killed people to be a vegan it wouldn't fit into the same category as paleo or keto. incomparable. these kinds of diets promote an unhealthy relationship with food (orthorexia). this is not some mumbo-jumbo divine philosphy, it is orthorexic to avoid any food if you have no health reason to do it. one can lose weight eating any kind of foods. avoiding modernity, embracing nature, it's all illogical and unscientific. there's nothing wrong with a hamburger, or a chocolate shake, or apples. sugar never kills anyone, sugar never makes anyone obese. it's excessive carbs, fat and sugar that make anyone fat. try eating more calories than you need on paleo, or keto, you'll get fat. now try to eat less calories, be it fast-food be it anything else, you'll lose weight. that's it. anything more scientific you're stepping into the realm of pseudoscience. what happens most of the time is that people who had unhealthy relationship with food find a new unhealthy relationship, but a much healthier diet and then think it's the all-cure pure-science, when it's just a fad. it's unbelievable that this community believes in fad diets (keto, paleo, lchf, atkins, etc.), that it is afraid of food, afraid of sugar.
