I agree, I just wish I’d known it was safe and potentially effective to increase protein intake before now. Not saying it’s right or wrong but the general vibe I’ve gotten from almost all my sources of keto information is that too much protein is “wrong” or “not a ketogenic ratio”. For every suggestion to increase protein there are 300 suggestions to reduce it. I think even the concept of “moderate protein” has people cautious thinking too much is bad. Moderation implies the possibility of excess, without defining what is safe or moderate I’m inclined to err on the side of less is better. In reality the upper limit for many people is far higher than generally accepted on even this forum for example.
If anything I think it’s time to more widely acknowledge that keto for weight loss is a very different thing than keto for maintenance or keto for the therapeutic effects of ketones. They all seem to get lumped together. Sure they are all ketogenic but the difference between 20% of calories from protein and 50% is huge in my assessment.
