Keto gets a lot of flack for two reasons imo...
It takes strong willpower to give up those simple carbohydrates, the junk that most people’s diet is compromised of...
And two, people will never stop believing that carbs are necessary for energy...
Keto is great for cutting but it’s not for the faint of heart... and you gotta eat complex carbs like vegetables.
S/N... funny thing is that most of the foods that cause diabetes, obesity, and heart ailments are carbohydrates... pretty much every corporate food manufacturer’s merchandise is some form of simple carbohydrate... things that make you go hmm.
If youre a fat ass maybe it takes willpower to cuy those carbs. I pretty much just have to stop eating rice and that was it

Keto isnt a difficult diet. Thats why you see so many people dropping large amounts on it when kf left to their own devices they would get fatter and fatter. Ive done the shyt and perpetually stay around 10% bf off it. Its a waste of time for me and its more expensive than I care to budget for food.
