> Your question will be , why bother when we are losing weight by having pasta, Maggi or McDonald' s or double cheese burger! Keto is a low carbohydrate/low sugar diet. McDonald's is definitely out since the buns/fries/et al contain a LOT of sugar/carbs. Most pasta too is out unless you substitute it with these[0]. > Keto diet was basically invented for athletes and bodybuilders to help loose fat, during vacation, by eating less carb and more of fat, when they are not working out at all. It dates all the way back to 400 BC where doctors of the period thought they could use it to combat epilepsy (with mixed success). This idea continued all throughout the 20th century (1920s with convolutions) and even up to the 1990s with "Charlie Abrahams" on Dateline. No clue where they got bodybuilders from, appears inaccurate. > Why Keto diet is bad for you and can prove fatal Where in the article is the title answered? They never come back to the fatality claim in the title. Seems like clickbait. Plus a lot of their concerns (side effects) aren't well explained, justified, or referenced. I'd recommend people read the "Adverse effects" on Wikipedia[1]. It is better written and has references to additional reading material. This article is low grade clickbait.
