I think I first saw mention of keto on the hypothyroidism subreddit. I became curious first because my doctor had already told me I needed to restrict carbs and second because this hypo sufferer on reddit claimed keto allowed her to lose a ton of weight easily.

The Best (and Worst) Mayo For Keto: Store-Bought Brands, Keto Recipes, and What to Avoid
Mayonnaise is arguably the best condiment for the keto diet.
