> this diet is called "keto", which is basically a combo of low carb and high protein Sorry, but this is inaccurate. A Keto diet is basically low carbohydrate and high fat. Protein is generally consumed in relatively moderate amounts on a successful Keto diet. The goal of the keto diet is basically to replace the bodies preferred energy source from using glucose to using fat. Excess protein can be used by the liver to create glycogen and inhibit the bodies ability to burn fat for energy. Excess protein will mean you never reach ketosis, which is the measurement used to determine if your body is burning fat for energy instead of carbs. It’s a common mistake though, because everybody assumes it’s high protein.
