Hmm. Well, I haven't voted because I can't make up my mind. My first reaction is YES! Keto is more for men. But in my own marriage, I'm much more of a meat eater than my husband. He's the one who feels he needs a side of veggies or some salad to feel healthy. Our bio kids are like me, but my daughter forces herself to eat veggies. Meanwhile, our 14 year old adopted son loves salads and actually orders them in restaurants. I do think there's a genetic component to food choices and preferences, but I'm not sure it's sex related.
Having said that, my husband can have an occasional sweet thing and not be affected, happily going right back on plan. If I were to have a taste for sweets, I'd be three giant Cadbury's in before I even knew what happened. I'm more of an addict than my husband. Whether that's estrogen related or some other thing, I can't say. Interestingly, I'll bet before going on low carb, I went weeks, even months without sweets, but I darn near lived on bread, chips, and pretzels. I never had chocolate or sweet cravings when I was eating lots of carbs. Mostly just salt.
