[Rant] My friend keeps insisting that me being on a ketogenic diet is going to give me an eating disorder

My friend is vegan and also has an eating disorder and keeps telling me that I'm going to have an eating disorder if I keep doing keto because "restricting a major food group is the first step in an eating disorder". She also shouts at me that I'm a murderer for eating meat and I'm just really frustrated. I told her I've lost 16 pounds and she just yelled at me, telling me that I'm dropping weight too quickly, that it's unhealthy, and that I need to eat some fruit and vegetables.

Honestly I feel like she's projecting onto me or something, because I feel better than ever on keto, mental health wise and just.. overall happiness. I eat much more vegetables on keto than I did on the SAD and I'm just bummed out that she's discouraging me so much. This entire thing is very very frustrating because before I started keto, she encouraged me to be a vegetarian and eat 800 calories of vegetables a day to lose weight. She was literally encouraging me to have an eating disorder at times when I was feeling bad about my body image and told me that we could both lose weight by not eating.

Anyways, kind of tired of my friend's criticism and toxicity towards me and just needed to rant.
