There are downsides to any diet. Keto has the huge upside of cutting out nutrient-poor highly processed foods that many people do not even realize are unhealthy.

Also, the idea of “unhealthy fats” is debatable [0], but that is besides the point: the largest downside to Keto is restricting a moderate amount of carbs from healthy choices, from your citation:

Leaning in on old data and recommending people eat copious amounts of saturated fats is just as poor a diet choice as highly processed foods. [0]
