In case anyone reads this and wants to investigate Ketosis further: under 50g/day of carbs you start to risk kidney stones, inflammation, developmental delays,

  That is so much bullshit. 1. Cite real studies, not paleomom 2. Cite studies that are based on the high-fat, moderate protein people who live a keto lifestyle eat, not the high protein diet used for epileptics #1 is key because if you cite real studies we can talk specifics, all your sources are is paleomom's version of broscience. #2 is important because almost all the low-carb studies that show negative biomarkers are not the LCHF diets recommended by places like /r/keto and other mainstream keto sources.

    She is an MD and PhD in Bio. Her sources are cited in the bottom of the post. Where are your sources? Here are the sources: http://www.thepaleomom.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Ketogenic-Diet-Literature-Review.pdf http://www.thepaleomom.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Ketoge...

      If you look at the studies she cites many (most that I spot checked) of them are using the formulation of ketogenic diet used to treat epileptics, and not the form that many people advocate as a life-style. Theis is esp. true of the ones that show negative health effects. These diets are low-carb, low-fiber, moderate fat and high protein. The ketogenic diets that are proposed for use by normal people are low-carb, high-fiber, high-fat and moderate protein. So they have a fundamentally different macro-nutrient ratio and include a high volume of low-carb veggies. This formulations also minimize Omega-6 polyunsaturted fat, and many studies listed use that a primary calorie source (there is a depreciated view that this was a healthy fat source).
