Any fervent supporter of the "ketogenic diet" who, upon observation can be seen to rarely make progress in regard to either their overall fitness, if at all. This is in stark contrast to their dedicated following of the diet for months or even years. These individuals can be seen in the wider fitness industry and on social media platforms pushing their no-carb, high-fat, and high-protein diets. They will often cite early hominids, claiming that early humans and their diets of almost solely animal meat are what our current, 21st century diets should be identical to. They will often purposefully ignore the nutritional evidence from modern athletes who are themselves living proof that modern humans who make an effort to include healthy sources of carbohydrates in conjunction with a balanced macronutrient split, well-tailored caloric intake, and exercise regimen are able to perform well in all areas of life. This includes not only sports, but also labor-intensive, and mental-intensive occupations as well as within academia. Ketolards will often accuse anybody who denies or expresses concern about their beliefs as being a vegan, who they tend to treat as their mortal enemies, while remaining willfully ignorant to the fact that vegans are simply the other side of the same extreme. Both groups often promote harmful dieting practices, which are not rooted in medical or nutritional fact. The documented anecdotal and scientific evidence suggests that this is indeed the case.
