Fried foods and keto

I was just talking to a coworker about keto and I said that I had bought a deep fryer and made keto cheese sticks with Parmesan cheese as breading. She said how it's most definitely not good for a diet but I was thinking it was fine for keto because of the high fat content. Any opinions? I'm not like...eating 100 of these things, I had 4 or 5 of them, they were made from string cheese sticks cut in half.

That sounds like a great idea to me, especially if you are frying in a good oil like coconut. Does your coworker understand keto diets? Maybe her comment was based on conventional diet wisdom?0

Caveman Keto has a recent series on deep fat frying. You may want to check him out.
Also, Mark's Daily Apple had an article on this. The health concern that was raised was concerning the oxidation that can occur in the frying process.
