I need to provide a link to show you that if you eat a high-fat, low-calorie diet, your body will produce ketone bodies as it burns fat and that this can trigger metabolic acidosis? If you'd ever studied biochemistry, specifically the Krebs Cycle, you would know this to be a fact.
The ketogenic diet first became popular 100 years ago and was used mostly to treat patients with childhood epilepsy. They found that it reduced the number of seizures experienced in some patients. This diet was high in fat and low in carbohydrates and protein, and one of the potential side effects was metabolic acidosis. This has been a possible adverse effect of the ketogenic diet for a century. People who promote the diet to others should be aware of this.
No studies, no links.
I’m done feeding the TROLL here. Not worth our time.
A lot of us USING a low-carb, high fat diet are getting very good results.
Ketones? “The ketone level in diabetic ketoacidosis typically exceeds 200mg/dl, compared with the 5 mg/dl ketone levels that are typically experienced after an overnight fast....and the 5-20 mg/dl ketone levels of a severely carbohydrate-restricted diet with only 5-10% carbohydrates.” - The Diet Delusion by Gary Taubes

“Nutritional ketosis occurs when there is not enough carbohydrate in the diet to meet the body’s energy requirements. In this situation, the body switches over from burning sugar to burning fat as its main fuel.
Fat, whether from the diet or the body’s stores, is broken down into ketones in the liver. These ketones are an efficient energy source for many organs, particularly the brain.
Everyone has ketones in their blood at very low levels, under normal conditions. When the body enters ketosis, and so switches to burning mostly fat, levels of ketones in the blood increase.
Groups at greater risk of ketoacidosis
Some people are at risk of ketoacidosis.
Groups at risk of ketoacidosis include, but is not limited to, people with:
Type 1 diabetes
Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes
Pancreatectomy
Type 2 diabetes with very little pancreatic function
It is possible, and can be beneficial, for people in these groups to follow a ketogenic lifestyle. However, it is important that your doctor is aware of your intention before you start.”

“For most people, the ketones that form as a normal product of fat burning and weight loss are nothing to be concerned about because they are simply burned for energy by the body, and any excess are passed out of the body in the urine. In fact, while the brain normally uses glucose for energy, during exercise — and particularly during long-distance events like marathons, when glucose reserves may drop very low — the brain can use ketones for energy. Your liver makes extra ketones when glucose reserves are low so that your brain has enough energy.
For people with Type 1 diabetes, however, having measurable amounts of ketones in the urine or blood is cause for concern. Ketones in a person with Type 1 diabetes may be a sign that his diabetes is out of control, he is ill or has an infection or he is under extreme stress. Because above-normal levels of ketones in the blood can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, a life-threatening condition, people with Type 1 diabetes who have measurable ketones in their blood or urine should speak with their diabetes educator or doctor promptly.”
