[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 299763, member: 33342"] So on the one hand we have Dr. Eric Kossoff and Dr Stephen Phinney and Dr Jeff Volek saying that ketogenic diets are safe, and on the other hand we have a charity website saying that "ketosis can lead to death". I presume, quite rightly, that the aim of that website is to discourage parents from putting their children on a ketogenic diet without medical advice. Carbs <50g Protein < 18% Does that count as mathematically calculated? The only maths involved is limiting your intake of these two macronutrients. If you get the maths wrong you won't be in ketosis. Let's get this straight. The risks of an unsupervised ketogenic diet is [i]death[/i]? Since when has anyone died of ketosis? You can't die of ketosis... it's a defence against starvation. I've no idea what a "chemical imbalance is".It hardly seems scientific does it? [/QUOTE]
