Correct. Yet demonizing carbohydrates is more dramatic that just eating the right amount. Fad diets are driven by hot takes and propelled by psychological biases.
Also, radical changes in diet often lead to temporary improvements in mood and energy levels.
People often ascribe the improvement to the new diet rather than the change and think they found the holy grail.
Edit: "keto" as "prescribed by reddit" is a fad.
If you are referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenic_diet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenic_diet it's a therapeutic diet to be prescribed by specialists to ameliorate epilepsy.
"""The ketogenic diet is not considered a benign, holistic, or all-natural treatment. As with any serious medical therapy, it may result in complications, although these are generally less severe and less frequent than with anticonvulsant medication or surgery"""
- nightski 4y agoKeto is not a fad diet nor a hot take. I've been on the diet for a decade and I know plenty of others who have as well. There is quite a bit of research around it and it has been in use for a century or more. It may not be for everyone and that is totally fine. But it's just a normal diet.
