Respecting religious practice while applying keto principles requires collaborative, individualized planning that honors both health goals and faith commitments.

A social media keto coach uses stock photos of a fit person's body claiming it is their own transformation. This conduct is:

Using someone else's body as a claimed personal transformation is fraudulent misrepresentation that deceives consumers into purchasing based on false evidence.
