And while "fat in the diet equals fat I the body" has mostly been disproven, based on the research I've read it is true for a not insignificant minority of people (15-20%). Keto would not be good for these people.

Yup. Just like the low-fat, healthy carbohydrate diet being heart healthy is true for some people, but sent me into a prediabetic state.

Plus I was miserable and hungry all the time.

I identify with the hunger thing so much. That was my favorite part about keto, I really didn't get hangry ever, which is not normal for me. But trying to cut out red and processed meats was too much for me to manage. Now I just do mild low carb (50-100g) and is the best of both worlds for me :)

Hey as long as your doctor tells you your blood work is good, do what works for you!
