Ketosis can really mess your health though. My dad had serious problems after trying it, so be really wary if you want to try it.



Ketosis is not going to mess with a healthy person. Obviously if you have something like kidney problems then it could put a real strain on your kidneys if they are not healthy. If you have preexisting conditions obviously _any_ diet should be carefully monitored by your physician.


I've done ketosis for 5 years, and now on and off for 2 years later. I had a full blood lipid panel done and it went well.

Volek and Phinney have good literature for learning more. What problems did your dad encounter?


Issues with kidneys.
