For anyone who uses Twitter, this account caught my attention. https://x.com/exfatloss
He also has a blog: https://www.exfatloss.com/
Basically, he is eating a high fat, low carb, low protein keto diet with heavy cream as a staple and claims to have a very high metabolism - feeling very warm, high temps, high Testosterone (over 1000) and very low TSH. (0.198)
He claims that Peat is wrong in the saying that Keto can't be a pro-metabolic diet.
Thoughts?
Perhaps protein being anti-metabolic matters the most, and not whether you eat carbs or not.

Some of his tweets:
Ray Peat was clearly bonkers-level wrong about keto, and Peatists just can't accept the truth.
Just like ketards who can't accept infinity protein isn't the only solution, or that seed oils might be more important than carbs.
Yea, I think Peat is right on many things - he was anti-PUFA and wary of high BCAAs, and probably many others issues I haven't read about yet (I've only read a bit of his writing).
Modern "internet keto" is, in a sense, a death trap for many - it's "bacon bacon bacon!" all the time, it implicitly encourages many people to consume e.g. salad dressings with soybean oil and high-PUFA chicken/pork, and way too much muscle meat.
But keto can also be done low-PUFA and low/moderate/adequate BCAA.
The idea that nobody, anywhere, could possibly be healthy on keto long-term is what I'm taking issue with.
