Jonathan,

Is this site a demo for your web-design and PHP skills? It's a pleasant-looking site with nice, low bandwidth requirements. I like it. iCab will give you an 'HTML 4.0 Strict' smilie if you add the '!DOCTYPE' tag and not use the 'CENTER' and 'U' tags.

If it's meant as a cybersquat, you need far more outrageous content. Dr Ornish might have some good material, but searching the web for "Anti-Atkins" would also be a good start.

If it's a sincere attempt to discredit ultra-low-carb diet plans, then perhaps we should wait until the paste dries. Some minor points, though :

In "What is Ketogenic?" you will have trouble equating Ketogenic with Zero Carbs. Yes, Zero Carbs would technically be Ketogenic but the reverse is not necessarily true. Starting with this definition as the foundation of your site is risky, as everything else depends on people not noticing that what you are condemning does not actually exist.

Under "Side Effects of Ketones", you've done a good job asserting that the mere presence of ketones leads to all these symptoms. If, however, ketones are the by-product of any lipolysis then this section gets pretty shaky.

Under "The Main Reason for Weight Loss" you should probably use another word for glycogen. Any reader who does a search will find that the body can only hold about 200 grams of glycogen. That would place the limit of ketogenic weight loss, acc. to your calculations, at 800 grams. Not much of a diet, eh?

The last two sections, "The Weight Loss Doesn't Stick", and "To Make Matters Worse" simply aren't serious writing.

Might I suggest turning "What is Ketogenic?" into a personal study of the low-carb regimen? You have come to the right place...
