Any dietitians here or medical guys here?

I've been on this low-carb diet and my sister in-law is telling me I'll turn yellow and really damage my liver with this meme ketogenic diet.

I'm finding incomplete and contradictory information on the internet, otherwise I've been feeling pretty good after 1 month on the diet.

If you're planning on avoiding fruits and veggies, then yeah, it's dumb. You will just make your health worse (there are pretty good published correlations on this). You gotta look at it more holistically. First, drop all the shit tier processed foods, so your only choices are things that came right out of the ground or right off of an animal (no brainer, but again there are studies on processed foods). After you've sorted that, then figure out if you're still getting too many carbs for your liking. I don't doubt that people do keto on shit food and then wonder why they end up feeling 200% shittier. But if you're not feeling bad effects, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

so you don't think there's any truth to what she said? I understand the liver ends up processing a lot of fat for energy, does that not damage the liver over time?

Read this: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/the-ketogenic-diet

It's easy to find a torrent of it online.

This is the book that popularized Keto. It's a fine diet, just do it right. /fit/ jerks off about it daily, but unless you're already at a lowish bf% there isn't much benefit.
