Not sure how many variables are there to providing a source of information. ISBN and page number would do.

keto diets done on occasion, no problem. For life, yes you will eventually develop problems due to it.


This is absolutely false. Can you point to any clinical study showing this?

The ketogenic diet is the longest time-tested plan ever. Also known as the hunter-gatherer plan. It's amazing how people can make such a claim, yet their own plans have never been tested in the long-term. If eating low-carb is dangerous, our human race would have died a looooong time ago.

So far, the increasing problems of obesity, heart disease, and diabetese in North America, provide a testimony to the success of government sponsored plans of high-carb, low-fat diets, and the growing industry of processed foods and sugar laden products.

I appreciate your support of ketogenic plans as a "short-term" solution, but if you have no scientific bases for the "long-term" problems, it would be wise to at least look for some.
