> wheat, coconut oil, potatoes, and heme

Replacing meat for carbs is not a great idea.

Edit: I was wrong. 200cal only have 6g of carbs which is pretty good IMO.

I suspect by wheat they mean the gluten part.

this seems like it conflicts heavily with a large portion of their target demographic... Is the carbs also a double negative?

What if animal fats are too heavy for your personal digestive system and you aren't obsessed with your BMI?

You could get vegetable fats from avocados, olive oil, etc. Fats are essential to life.

It's a myth that eating fats will increase your BMI. It's eating too many calories that causes that.

I agree, those and coconut are my preferred sources of fat.

This is the opposite of my intended meaning. I was referring to GP's blanket statement that replacing meat with carbs is bad. The "BMI obsession" snark is a response to people advocating extreme low carb diets as if they are inherently healthier (rarely are the components of that diet discussed) than a diverse diet of unrefined foods (including the occasional carbohydrate). Keto is great for showing off your six pack. I don't think that means that it is by default healthy.

You can't "be obsessed with your BMI". If something makes you fatter, you should not eat it.
