[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1021378, member: 211504"] Not offensive, but what is your rationale behind your opinion? Are you basing your opinion solely on your own personal experiences? What risks are you concern you? The conditions for nutritional ketosis and the conditions for DKA are polar opposites and assuming you understand the basic concept behind each state, common sense would dictate whether or not you should be worried. Nutritional ketosis is characterized by "starving" your body of carbohydrates to a point where it begins to seek an alternative energy source. DKA is characterized by "starving" your body of INSULIN. Your body cannot deliver glucose from your blood to be used as energy. Your body seeks an alternative energy source, but begins to RAPIDLY breakdown body fat. MASSIVE ketone levels develop (10-20x that of nutritional ketosis) which are slightly acidic. However,in these massive quantities, the pH of your blood is lowered which is what can lead to a coma.
