Lots of people have.
I’m not sure humans prior to agriculture revolution could have much avoided it.4 -
People say low carb is unhealthy,” because they believe all the propaganda we have been told about what makes up a “balanced” diet. Carbohydrates are NOT a necessary nutrient. We do not NEED grains. Humans are incredibly adaptable, and we manage to survive on the standard western diet that is very carb-centered; but one only needs to look at the increase in diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, etc. to see that we are not thriving. Sunny_Bunny_ is right! They way we eat now is a very recent development.
Look at the people who are telling you low-carb is not healthy and ask yourself if they are flourishing eating the way they say you “should.” Probably not. Thank them for their concern, and do what you think is right. Let your life be an example to them! As you gain vitality and feel better, they will see for themselves.5 -
I've been eating Keto for over a year now and I have perfect health where as prior to this I was 90 lbs overweight, was pre diabetic, had high blood pressure etc etc. I do blood and urine lab tests regularly. I am now gaining lean mass while still eating Keto every single day. I never go out of ketosis. I test my BLOOD ketones regularly. People all over the world eat keto full time every day of their lives even athletes whom have no fat to lose but just want to keep their lean mass on and regulated. Tons of information at your finger tips all over the internet regarding all of this. A lot of folks you will probably find would be happy to help you with information and mentoring if you seek that kind of help. This forum is mostly all about CICO and a lot of folks on the main forums like to shoot down any Keto/LC folks so you can rarely find good help and info in those areas of the MFP forum regarding this kind of info. First thing anyone should do though is see a doctor, and/or professional dietician. Get lab tests, and as you go along your journey get regular lab tests to see if what you are doing is improving your health markers. That is the only way you will truly know what is happening with your body/health.3

I have been Keto since Oct 2014 and health markers continue to improve annually but I was about dead before I started Keto at the age of 63.
By the way I did learn Keto was IMPOSSIBLE for me when I was a carb addict and did not know it.
Best of success. Kept my carbs just under 50 grams daily and over time learned to do Keto over the next year.4 -
Your All great thank you so much for the encouragement1
