I am someone who sticks to a keto minimum low carb diet, my doc recently asked I start a low fat diet also for gallbladder and liver issues I am allergic to poultry so my main protein sources usually is red meat but she’d like me to avoid that if possible also. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated because as cleanly as I already eat I am not really sure how to add low fat on top of it all. Thank you in advance

    Maybe talk to a doctor that understands keto, clearly this one doesn't. I suspect the right advice would be to try a different dietary format where lower fat consumption makes more sense and where someone doesn't think red meat is the devil. Try a protein forward whole food diet and if lower fat is preferred then that can be effectively monitored imo.

    Get advice from a professional nutritionist. Best money I ever spent. One that will make a weekly meal plan for you out of a list of foods you like.

    If in the U.S. speak with a registered dietician. Certification for a nutritionist in the U.S. varies widely from state to state.

    Macronutrients of food are: protein, fat and carbohydrates.

    Keto is high fat and eliminates most carbs. But, your Dr. now wants you to eat low fat. This leaves you with a mostly protein diet. This is not healthy.

    It sounds to me like the doctor wants the OP to stop doing keto due to gallbladder issues. Not that the doctor doesn't understand keto. The OP seems to be under the mistaken idea that they can do keto and low fat at the same time, not the doctor.
