I dont see anywhere in the SB Diet where it talks about trying to intentionally achieve ketosis. That is part of the mainstay of the Atkins diet, at least during the induction period.

This diet seems like a good, moderate version of LowCarb dieting. I myself have done something similar, back when I was working out alot. If this guys book can bring more people into the low-carb way of eating, and if this help those people become healthier individuals, then more power to him!

Of course it is. Atkins preached ketosis for the first twenty-five years of his diet program, though he did back off in the last few years.

Achieving ketosis is not necessary to lose weight on Atkins or any other low-carb diet.
