[QUOTE="Trinkwasser, post: 30492, member: 11875"] Low carb diets tend to generate ketones. Especially losing weight (fat loss) generates ketones. In that case it is beneficial, Atkinsites try to maintain a low level of ketosis initially. There's a lot of confusion between ketosis which is benign and ketoacidosis which is not. If I drink red wine with my evening meal, no problem. If I drink wine at night my morning pee niffs of ketones. This is not necessarily a bad thing, ketones can be used as fuel to replace glucose quite happily. Evolutionarily we were probably designed to pack on extra fat when food was plentiful and burn it when food was scarce, or when we needed to migrate: ketosis is part of that adaptation. [/QUOTE]
