The keto people don't seem to talk to the microbiome people though.
Keto cuts out things that are bad for the microbiome, but the things it keeps are bad (red meat -> excessive protein and TMAO), and it doesn't feed the bacteria enough (fiber, etc).
Also, keto dieting advice is pretty universal but different people have very different microbiomes, lactose tolerance, etc.
- nradov 2y agoThat seems like "bro science". There is no reliable evidence that more protein results in worse health outcomes, and a high protein diet doesn't necessarily imply insufficient fiber. https://peterattiamd.com/lucvanloon/ https://peterattiamd.com/lucvanloon/
- astrange 2y agoMay be a circular definition. Farting a lot, meat sweats and smelling bad are negative health outcomes IMO.
