Default OK, Now I'm confused

I was under the impression that one could be in ketosis ad infinitum ; however, after reading through DANDR he states it's safe for 6 months - up to one year if you have excessive amounts of fat to lose. He makes the point that if you're not in 'glucosis' (his made up word for burning glucose) you're in lipolysis (another made up word?) and both are prefectly safe. Why put the limit then? (Raz I am going to go check out that link you posted - if the answer is listed there, sorry for the question )

One you reach goal you don't need to burn body fat to lose fat; but the idea that you're either in one state or the other contradicts what I have read - even when you are in ketosis you are ingesting carbs to a certain degree and they are being converted to glucose and consequently being burned.
