I think for most Western men high protein, lowish fat and lowish carbs is the way to go. Keto? It can be done sensibly but there is a huge population of "Ketotards" who think protein turns into chocolate cake and massive "fat bombs" are healthy eating. Jesus.
Historically, some populations did fall into ketosis from time to time, or even seasonally, naturally, but it wasn't a chronic condition and I suspect for humans, chronic ketosis isn't beneficial.
The only defence I have for 'fat bombs' is they're incredibly satiating.
2 eggs fried with half a teaspoon of butter for breakfast and I won't think about food until 2pm.
Just like all food trends, you have your cult like followers....hello vegans!
But like you said, high protein low carbs with good fat is best for white guys.
Btw, diabetes in SE Asia is increasing very fast. A diet of white rice, low protein, cheap beer and soft drinks and lots of smoking and no exercise does the trick.
