>When mice continue to eat the high-fat, low-carb diet beyond one week, Dixit said, they consume more fat than they can burn, and develop diabetes and obesity. It is my understanding and experience that eating high fat is to assist with the body entering Ketosis. After the body enters Ketosis the fat you ingest is scaled back so your body can burn the fat storage you carry.Basically it's low carb life style eliminating most fat you consume since the idea is to burn your body fat. This doesn't seem like a good study since they just kept pumping fat into the mice even after they were in Ketosis without reducing it so they could lose body fat. No wonder they got obese and developed chronic illness.

Still very useful as that's what many people on keto do even after the initial period - because fatty foods are tastier and easier to gorge on that lean protein and veggies.

  It would have been beneficial if the study followed the rules pertaining to a Keto Diet instead of labeling it as dangerous after one week. They would have found it to be actually quite healthy. Done properly, you can remain in Ketosis for an incredible long time.

    I mean, that’s a whole different study. Given the need to prioritize 2 studies, one which studies the actual diet which the majority of Keto followers tend to actually follow, and another which the promoters of Keto use for marketing Keto, but very few actually follow, they prioritized the former. I would have probably made the same decision they did, but even if they had prioritized the latter, the point is that they chose to conduct 1 study and not the other is not a knock on the study they actually conducted.
