Keto diet and Blood glucose metre

[BadNewsBerto]

I don't understand why people eat that way on keto. I've seen it both ways on the same individual more than once now - results are better with olive oil and nuts than with bacon and cheese.

True as that may be....people eat that way on keto because it makes for a more tollerable diet. Also when you arent taking in any carbs your fat intake is being mobilized for energy. fat is fat whether saturated or not... it has 9 cals, and in the absense of carbs your body treats any and all fat the same way. Sure olive oil and nuts are better then bacon and cheese. It would be a challenge to structure a keto diet you could maintain for months without including any foods high in saturated fat. For the average body builder, witch in all honesty makes a a huge portion of the people out there, and most likely even on this website, not utilizing these foods high it saturated fat would be setting themselves up for failure. Im not saying your wrong, simply that i dont think the type of fat you eat really has much baring on a keto diet, as long as cals and macros are accounted for. If you can tollerate an olive oil and nutt diet, all the power to you...but for the average joe, i dont think thats gonna cut it.

Fair enough, my comment was assuming the level of dedication was high. I assure you though, there are benefits beyond long-term health to keeping fat choices clean. These include: increased testosterone production, more readily available energy, and increased protein synthesis.
