First-world keto problems

Do you have any first-world keto problems? You know – annoying problems which, if you put them in perspective, make your eyes roll with their relative insignificance.

If you’re a member of the Diet Doctor Facebook group, you might have encountered this entertaining post about the minor but oh-so-inconvenient challenges you face on keto.

The post has gotten 104 comments so far, and here are some of the top responses:

People thinking you will die if you don’t eat carbs. I think the picture below pretty much captures the whole point…
Having to buy a new wardrobe. It’s so expensive!
“Did you really say extra butter/cream/mayo?” A higher-fat diet undoubtedly breaks some conventions, so having to repeat one’s order to a confused waiter is super common.
Constantly cleaning bacon/butter grease off of everywhere… Not just from your stove, but also from your newly-washed shirt.
“Come on – one piece of cake won’t kill you!” Although your pie-baking grandmother is well meaning, it is a situation that is hard to deal with for most keto eaters.

The worst offenders are Registered Dieticians, funded by Big Food and Big Pharma. "You are definitely going to die!" quite common phrase used by them, also " That is not sustainable!" without even trying it.

The worst i have personally heard: „People like you are destroying our climate because of all the meat you eat.“ (Methane)
But no one ever questiones from where all the legumes, the oranges, the tropical fruits, the cashews, the almonds for the almondmilk, the avocados or even the rice are coming from, at least here in Switzerland. Is it then better for our climate to fly in all that stuff from all over the world?!?! Better than buy beef from a local farmer? That annoys me. Nobody ever makes this to a topic to debate.
The sentence above came from a vegan, what do you think he eats? Not only potatoes and salads growing right here. But they feel and argue as they are better humans.
At the moment there are discussions in our government, green politicians demand for a law that should restrict the cattle by 25% so that people can not eat as much meat and dairy products as right now!
I am afraid, keto and meat and all the saturatet fat have changed my and my familys health and lifes.
Thank you Diet Doctor for all you do😘
