So I dont watch the news that much, but apparently Jillian Micheals has been going around on a media blitz trying to criticize the "Keto Diet Trend"
https://www.today.com/health/jillia...-keto-diet-you-re-starving-yourselves-t146530
She recommends a balanced diet which is fine, for normal people who dont have weight, blood sugar or energy issues.
But ignores the benefits and reasons people use the diet.
1) Helps regulate your blood insulin sensitivity
2) Helps reduce your appetite so overeaters can curb their cravings
3) Weight Loss
4) Clearer mental health more focused thinking
5) Increases your energy and helps stress.
If you are a healthy individual, there's no reason for you to be doing any sort of special diet besides eating healthy non processed foods and proper sized portions. However the benefits for those that have issues like the above are not something to be avoided because a celebrity fitness trainer says so.
She's giving a bunch of misinformation that seems to primarily focus on promoting herself really.

Jillian Michaels has no love for the popular ketogenic diet.
The celebrity trainer didn't hold back when asked about the high-fat, low-carbohydrate regimen in a video for Women's Health magazine when asked about the trendy diet touted by many on Instagram.

"I don't understand,'' she said. "Like, why would anyone think this is a good idea?"
The ratio of fat to carbs and protein is 4:1 in the keto diet, with a goal of burning fat for energy rather than carbohydrates in order to lose weight. Michaels, 44, is not buying it.
"You know what we need to do? All fat and animal protein!''' she said. "No! Bad plan. For a million reasons."
In the view of the former "Biggest Loser" trainer, the keto diet doesn't provide proper nutritional balance.
"Your cells, your macro molecules, are literally made up of protein, fat, carbohydrates, nucleic acids,'' she said. "When you do not eat one of the three macro nutrients — those three things I just mentioned — you're starving yourselves.
"Those macro nutrients serve a very important purpose for your overall health and wellbeing. Each and every one of them."
She recommends a balanced diet which is fine, for normal people who dont have weight, blood sugar or energy issues.
But ignores the benefits and reasons people use the diet.
