Asprey said the main problem with the modern keto diet (and its precursor, the Atkins diet) is that it focuses too much on fat versus carbs.
That means low-carb diets can rely on plenty of foods that we know aren t healthy, included highly-processed meats, cheeses, and snacks, and even some fast food. In this school of thought, known as dirty keto, any food is allowed as long as it s low in carbs. Asprey said that while it can work for weight loss in the short-term, it s risky for long-term health. The idea becomes that it s if its not sugar or carbs, it s OK to eat and that s not true. Don t be keto with pork rinds and cream cheese, Asprey said.
