>I've never really seen this, but you're probably on the right track. In the US, the whole basis of our food system is centered around grains, especially corn. There are a lot of vested interests that want us to keep consuming as much of their product as possible.
I guess even before the keto crotch thing that died quickly. The source of the keto craze was from Australia. Known for the various meat exports, their recommended diet coming from the government literally said dont eat meat because it's cancer. The government was like WTF and investigated. Found that the dieticians of australia were receiving millions of $ from the cereal companies. Clear and obvious conflict of interest. Yet the dieticians said nope they didnt have conflict of interest because this was widely known science.
So the government did a bunch of studies and went further basically testing if they were right. They found the complete opposite was true. That not only were the cereal companies responsible for the mess, they were clearly fabricating science. Thats when they initiated diabetes studies. They selected some smaller towns and targetted people on heavy diabetes meds and put them on high fat keto. They were supposed to go for a year but after like 6 months they practically cured these people's type 2 diabetes. The news of them pushed a huge amount of people follow suit.
The ironic thing, you can still see the manipulation. They will go about mentioning carbs but American Diabetes Association is still reocmmending heavy carb eaying. Australia diabetes doesnt even have it on their website anymore: https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/low-...
The reality is that we know the fix, but there's a ton of interest in killing keto.
>But honestly, you have to be able to let yourself 'cheat' sometimes. You're not going out to eat to be healthy, it's to be social and have fun. So sometimes you gotta just enjoy yourself. A couple cheat meals a week isn't going to derail the whole diet, and if you are too hard on yourself it can become exhausting.
For me, I'll do the occasional pizza or some noodle meal. My main thing was that I always more or less wanted to eat this way but I took the advice of experts who pushed ultra carbs as healthy. Then I learnt oh wait apparently the food guide has nothing at all to do with healthy eating.
