Is it healthy to eat an all-meat or meat-heavy keto diet?

Is it healthy to eat an all-meat or meat-heavy keto diet? Last year, a study concluded that certain people don't need to worry about high cholesterol, but that study was a giant steaming pile of garbage that was finally retracted. Also Jordan Peterson may be dead lol https://skepchick.org/2026/05/eat-a-vegetable-keto-study-retracted/
@rebeccawatson I once clicked on a link by accident and heard Jordan Peterson’s voice. He sounded like a muppet. So if he were dead, how would we know someone hadn’t just shoved a hand up there and continued making muppet noises like a eugenicist weekend at Bernie’s?

@rebeccawatson just why, why do these bros like torturing themselves with specific ass diets which are literally harder to do and worse that just eating normally without overthinking?-
oh I just saw one potential factor explained on my feed https://masto.ai/@stavvers/116642870115983224 hah

@rebeccawatson Sadly Jordan Peterson is not dead only brain-damaged (or maybe 'even more' brain-damaged than usual).
As long as he is suffering I guess - silver linings.

@rebeccawatson Any fad diet that requires medical advice needs to be avoided

@rebeccawatson I lose a ton of weight when I do low-carb, and then I go back to eating like a normal person again. It's the normal cycle of life.

To be fair, low glycaemic diets are the basis of all the diets that work since Adkins.High carb/low fat diets that have no genuine scientific rationale are responsible for the obesity epidemic (or just very weirdly correlated).
Low GI food doesn't need to be meat-heavy btw, quite the opposite, but it does seem like catnip to the knuckleheads out there.

Thé only truth in "calories in = calories out" is that over time you can't expend more energy than you consume. That's it. There are complex biochemical pathways that may or may not convert excess energy to fat, and it requires enough insulin (which is released when you consume carbohydrates). There's no magical 100% efficient process that converts every excess calorie to fat.

Although I agree that you need to maintain muscle with enough protein. As an aside, high protein without either carbs or fats is dangerous for the heart. -

The problem isn't just calories, it's increased insulin resistance over time with a high carb diet, meaning that for the same effect getting rid of blood sugar, you're piling on more fat due to the increased insulin. If this were merely a calorie problem, we'd see far more obesity without high insulin resistance (pre-diabetes and diabetes), and at a younger age. But this doesn't happen, as they both go hand in hand with chronic high glycaemic index diets.
