In response to a pp who rightly said fat does not have to come from animals, so therefore “high fat” doesn’t have to mean more meat an animal produce.
Most LCHFers that I know eat a lot of animal produce. I know some don’t and good for them, but I do think the WOE encourages overconsumption of meat and animal produce.
If people did what I think they’re meant to with that WOE; up their healthy fats, (not including animal fats), and greens, without upping the meat and dairy etc, then I wouldn’t have any issue with it.
But, based on people I know who do this WOE, it’s a lot of bacon sprinkled here and there, bulletproof coffees with a lot of butter every morning, (and butter requires a lot of milk to make it; it’s not like drinking a bit of milk in your tea), veggies in butter and covered with cheese etc. Whole packs of ham / salami for lunch instead of a sandwich. Going out for a meal, instead of pizza or pasta with a bit of meat in it, it’s a large hunk of meat with salad.
Plant fats, like nuts and avocados aren’t freely available on LCHF diets ime, because too much of them would tip a low carber into moderate carb territory. Whereas fatty beef is allowed in limitless quantities. That’s not to say every low carber would eat a lot of meat, but it does encourage someone who maybe is a bit greedy and likes to feel stuffed after a meal to go nuts on the meat. And I don’t think it’s good at all. It might be fine for their waistline, but not for the planet.
