WRT to your request for citation, I can point you toward this[1] (not sure about the protein/ muscle claim) wikipedia post, and quote a portion:
"Ketosis is deliberately induced by use of a ketogenic diet as a medical intervention in cases of non-responsive epilepsy.[6] Other uses of low-carbohydrate diets remain controversial."
What I find interesting is the assumption that everyone operates with an intentional diet. I forget to eat all the time.
EDIT: Maybe I should elaborate to say that I had unintentionally adopted a "ketogenic diet" by accident, and it took me 4 years to figure that out.

- pyre 15y agoKetosis talks about converting fatty acids to energy (when your body runs out of glucose/glycogen). It says nothing about creating vitamins and minerals out fat+sugar+salt. If your body could get all the essential nutrients out of nothing but carbs and/or fats, then malnutrition would be a fictitious condition, as would be scurvy (Vitamin C deficiency).
