non american here, how do you read a food pyramid?

>>40159366
The same way you read a regular pyramid. The bottom is most important and it shrinks from there.

Dont stress about protein. Focus on removinf carbs and sugar. Protein will take care of itself as long as youre eating eggs and meat.

I think he's worrying about too much protein. Protein converting to glucose can take you out of ketosis.

I've heard too much protein kicks you out of ketosis!
You really should focus on fats on keto. Most of your calories should be healthy fats.

Yes and no it works if you can do it but the average normie who won't make it only attempts it because it is a meme.

58% of protein turns into glucose in the body so that's why I'm trying to limit it. Only 10% of fat turns into glucose. And obviously 100% of carbs turn into glucose.

Nah, there is no evidence that excess protein increases glucose production. Also you should experiment with yourself rather than pulling out random statistics. It depends on your metabolic demand, my needs are obviously different, but relying on arbitrary numbers from low sample size "research" is why people call keto a meme.

It's not excess protein, it's protein in general. That's why fat is considered more important to the diet than protein (or carbs obviously).
