What is an unhealthy fat? Also, by definition, if you are eating more than very minimal carbs, you aren't on a ketogenic diet.

Honestly, and with no sarcasm intended, I think your advice would be similarly correct for anyone considering eating bread, or white noodles/rice - get your blood work done on a regular basis, and heart scans done once a year, your triglycerides and cholesterol could shoot up and put you in shit street.

I'm willing to wager that significantly more people have cholesterol problems with rice/bread, than they do with eating meat and fat.

> What is an unhealthy fat?

Fat consumed with high levels of sugar.

Not everyone has the capacity to be strict with their diet, habits, or health in general. These people might still attempt the Keto diet.

The Ketogenic diet gets approached by lots of people with mental health issues (bipolar for one), and people who have issues being strict with their diet.

Advising them to get their blood work done, and heart checked is normal, and sensible. Getting your blood and heart checked regularly is a healthy habit, and provides vital feedback to understand exactly how your diet is impacting your health.
