[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1488561, member: 240838"] Both carbs and protein require insulin and fat impedes insulin so a good balance and not too much of any if you want to lose weigh. Keto done best is about 80% fat, 15% protein and 5% carbs. Lots of us doing keto eat 20 c or less per day, moderate our protein (.8-1 g per kg LEAN body mass and Justin enough fat to satisfy. The fat calories are meant to replace the carb calories. Not needing to gorge on them especially if weight loss is desired. Many of us do vlc, moderate protein and moderate fat for weight management. As an example. I eat about 5 oz protein a day divided into 2 meals. A whole avoacdo and the bigger the better. A few macadamia nuts or pumpkin seeds or small piece of cheese for snacks. Mayo on egg, tuna, salmon, chicken salad. A drizzle EVOO on salads or veggies. Sometimes a little butter. Carbs are all from above ground veggies, avocado and nuts. I don't pound bacon, coconut oil, grease, chicken skin etc. That's just my diet but many do just fine with saturated fats. I keep mine limited. [/QUOTE]
