The overarching goal of sustained ketogenic eating is to build a health reserve deep enough that occasional deviations create no meaningful setback. Once a robust health reserve is in place, a cheat meal becomes metabolically insignificant. In early adaptation, every cheat meal directly undermines foundational metabolic work because the body has no reserve to buffer against disruption. Starting keto imperfectly is acceptable, but staying imperfect is not the goal.
