I think that whether keto or not, the secret to good health is eating when you need to.

I only get hungry maybe twice a day. I think that people shouldn't eat when they're not hungry.

When you're not hungry, you have lower stomach acid, stuff gets less digested, and bacteria in your gut have more to feed on. This is bad because bacteria are bad, and the "good" bacteria are only good insofar as they stave off the even worse bacteria.

This is very bad with animal protein, because it feeds very dangerous (putrefactive) forms of bacteria. You can sort of get away with it with sugars and carbs, which feed only mildly harmful bacteria (fermentative).

If you only eat when hungry, you fully digest everything, and the only bacteria that thrive are benign cellulose-eating ones.
