The keto diet is the worst diet for both your body and the earth, researchers say
Researchers ranked six popular diets according to their environmental impact and nutritional value.
The keto diet had the biggest average carbon footprint and the lowest nutritional ranking.

The keto diet, a low-carb and high-fat eating plan despised by nutritionists, is not only bad for your body, according to recent research findings — it's also bad for the environment. Researchers at Tulane University ranked six popular ways of eating, including the keto diet, according to their average nutritional value and environmental impact. Their findings, published March 1 in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, showed a correlation between healthy eating and low carbon emissions. While the study didn't touch on every diet trend, the researchers considered the daily diets of more than 16,000 adults surveyed between 2005 and 2010. Then, they split the individual data into six diet groups: keto, paleo, vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian, and omnivore. They found that the average keto eater generates almost 3 kg of carbon dioxide for every 1,000 calories consumed — that's four times the carbon footprint of a similarly-sized vegan plate.

Carbon footprint...
That's not what I based my diets on chief.

Typical Tulane! Hey, but how much carbon emissions were saved my eating animals and them being removed from the planet?

Keto may be a shitty diet and bad for your body but IDGAF about their BS carbon foot print data

What makes it bad for your body?

The same people saying this want you to eat impossible meat that is extremely unhealthy and full of chemicals and preservatives etc.
These people don’t live in reality.

The study was absolute bullshite. They ranked vegan and vegetarian diets as the two best in terms of nutritional value which is just blatantly false.

Yaaaaawwwwwnnnnnnn

These folks think a bowl of lucky charms is ‘healthier’ for you than a ribeye steak or grass fed beef. It’s lunacy.
Posted on 3/4/23 at 4:16 pm to ronricks
Well a bowl of cereal is half the calories of a ribeye..

Why is a calorie bad?

And loaded with sugar, preservatives, Modified Corn Starch, Trisodium Phosphate, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, and other ultra processed stuff that is fricking terrible for you. ‘Calories’ doesn’t tell us anything when comparing the two. A ribeye steak isn’t going to spike your insulin either.

It's not inherently bad, in the sense that inducing ketosis isn't some detrimental hack on your body.
It's a skeleton of principles that recommend high fat, high protein, low carbs.
What you fill in that skeleton with will determine if it's bad for your body. Using stupidly fat processed meats and cracklins? Yeah, probably bad. Stick with whole foods? Definitely not bad.

Raising cattle is better for the environment than farming.

Not a big keto fan. Hit my protein macro and frick the rest of it.

Dumb question, is this just a protein goal in grams per day or more complex, like a ratio of protein and other things? I'm a nutrition simpleton, I just eat meat and fruit. And maybe some cookies. I do like chips. But I don't eat things unless I earn them first by sweating. I mean my waist and weight have been the same for 20 years so I'm either doing it decently or have a tapeworm.

Indeed. Vegan, and even vegetarian, is incredibly destructive.
This idiotic ranking was created by someone who has never been to a farm of any kind. They think cows live their entire lives on feedlots, when in fact, the opposite happens.

The ability for “science” to distill environmental impact to just carbon dioxide is a scam on the world.
Monocrop agriculture essentially requires a cocktail of herbicides/pesticides, strips soil to a sterile dust, destroys habitats, and kills thousands of animals in the process. Monocrop agriculture is 100% unsustainable, though some elements are certainly needed in the overall matrix.
Pastured animals can build soil, and often in areas unfit for crops.

The keto diet is defined by its lack of carbs - not by it's protein/fat content. It's possible to be in ketosis on very high protein (which is what I would recommend for anyone trying it). Protein is higher satiety and nutrient density, which almost by definition means less calories ingested.
