This article doesn't seem very well written. For instance, under the drawbacks, it lists "triggers fatigue and brain fog". That'd be an interesting thing to know, if it were true, and I suppose for some people it is, but I had more energy and a sharper brain. So this is like a potential side effect. The glib writing makes it sound like everyone experiences this.
It lists "saggy skin", an effect of not working out, as if it had something to do with the diet, when it just explained that athletes sometimes use this diet to lose fat while not working out, or something along those lines. So they've sort of lumped in a side-effect of weight loss without working out and portrayed it as if it had something to do with the diet.
An altered blood lipid profile happen any time you adjust your diet. This would be true of a Mediterranean diet as well. Additionally, it mentions that it increases your cholesterol level, without mentioning that HDL goes up more than LDL cholesterol, which most measures use as a divisor for cholesterol risk, since LDL tends to inhibit blood flow, and HDL, on the other hand, tends to promote it. So that overall rise tends to be an improvement.
Trigger ketoacidosis... if you're diabetic. Okay, diabetics need to be careful with diets and medications. check.
The article makes some legitimate points, but frames them so badly with so much fluff and half-truth that I think it's worth a downvote.
