As to the point of protein, generally the foods found in Keto diets are protein packed foods (meats). Even Bacon, which is the preferred food of every Keto'er i know, has an almost 1:1 ratio of fat  rotein.
Will say Keto Flu is real though. been ketoing since friday and not even close to feeling 100%. My gym experience yesterday made me feel like i was gonna die. |
The average might be 196lbs, but there's no way they have 18% of body fat. Just look around for a lean person and check their weight. Dunno what you guys are made of, but lean people I see around are 130-165lbs and still carrying about 20% body fat. 196lb/18% would make an average american look like a bodybuilder.
Yes it's typically meat, but all it takes is few spoons of fat on top of your veggies to get into the right macros, because it packs so many calories. I also wouldn't say bacon is preferred, since it's processed meat and lot less healthy than fresh meat with some added olive or coconut oil.
