Somewhere at the start of the last decade, Keto diets (low carb high fat or LCHF) became a mainstream nutrition strategy. Books like the ones in the graphics below were published, and there was an abundance of cookbooks on the topic, all of them laced with comments that yelled, “this is working for me.” From a scientific perspective, this sort of fast acceptance was an anomaly, as there was no new research on the topic associated with their claims. Historically, either new research or new translations of research generate this sort of activity and interest. Not this time, and I really wanted to know why.
