If you've spent any time in the health and wellness world, you've almost certainly come across both keto and paleo. On the surface, they look remarkably similar — both cut out processed food, both emphasise whole foods, both avoid grains and refined sugar. So what's actually the difference?
It's Friday night. Your friends are ordering pizza. You've been strict on keto all week and you're feeling good — but also really, really want a slice.
So the question forms: 'Can I just have a cheat day? Would one day really undo everything?'
It's one of the most common questions in the keto community — and the answer is more nuanced than a simple yes or no. What actually happens when you eat carbs on keto depends on several factors: how long you've been keto, how much you eat, what you eat, how fat-adapted you are, and what your goals are.
It's the question that stops a lot of people before they even start keto.
'All that fat — isn't it terrible for your heart?'
It's a fair concern. For decades, dietary fat was considered the primary driver of heart disease. And the idea that a diet built on fat — butter, meat, eggs, oils, cheese — could possibly be heart-healthy seems to contradict everything we were taught.
If there's one food most people genuinely miss when they go keto or low carb, it's chips.
Not just the crunch — although that matters enormously — but the whole experience. The ritual of opening a bag. The satisfying snap. The salty, flavour-packed hit that works as a standalone snack, a party food, a movie companion, or a 3pm fix.
