FDA’s Saturated Fat Reversal: A Triumph for LCHF/Keto Longevity

Dr. Marty Makary Announces Game-Changing Policy Shift, Validating High-Fat Diets for Health and Vitality

FDA’s Saturated Fat Revision: A Win for LCHF/Keto and Longevity

At Everyday Longevity, we’ve long advocated for the Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) and ketogenic lifestyles as powerful tools for health and vitality. A recent video featuring FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary.

Delivers groundbreaking news: The FDA is revising its decades-old guidelines on saturated fats, acknowledging that they were based on flawed science. This shift, echoed by figures like RFK Jr., is a monumental validation of the LCHF/Keto approach and its role in promoting longevity.

Why This News Matters

Dr. Makary highlights that the vilification of saturated fats, rooted in Ancel Keys’ 1960s Seven Countries Study, relied on incomplete and methodologically flawed data. The FDA’s decision to revisit these guidelines aligns with emerging evidence that natural saturated fats—found in foods like butter, coconut oil, and fatty meats—are not the dietary villains they were made out to be. This is a game-changer for LCHF/Keto adherents who rely on these fats for energy, satiety, and metabolic health.

• Metabolic Health Boost: LCHF/Keto emphasizes fats as a primary fuel source, which stabilizes blood sugar, reduces inflammation, and supports ketosis. The FDA’s shift validates this approach, recognizing that saturated fats can be part of a healthy diet, not a driver of heart disease.

• Cognitive and Longevity Benefits: By prioritizing fats over carbs, LCHF/Keto supports brain health through ketone production, which is linked to improved mental clarity and reduced neurodegenerative risk—key for living longer and better.

• Cultural Shift: This revision challenges the low-fat dogma that has dominated dietary advice for decades, empowering our community to embrace nutrient-dense, high-fat foods without guilt.

What This Means for Our Community

The FDA’s move is a call to action for anyone following or considering LCHF/Keto. Here’s how to leverage this news:

• Embrace Healthy Fats: Incorporate foods like avocados, grass-fed butter, and fatty cuts of meat into your meals, knowing they’re backed by evolving science.

• Stay Educated: Follow updates from trusted sources like our Everyday Longevity Podcast to understand how policy changes impact your health choices.

• Advocate for Change: Share this news with friends and family to spread awareness that LCHF/Keto is not just a diet but a science-supported path to longevity.
