Is Ketosis Dangerous?
Many people have got really confused about ketosis and Ketoacidosis. Unfortunately even dieticians and nutritionists find the two states confusing. Ketosis simply refers to a metabolic state where the concentration of ketones in the blood builds to higher than normal levels. This occurs when people consume a low carbohydrate diet and are breaking down their body fat for fuel. Unlike Ketosis which is perfectly natural and harmless, Ketoacidosis is a condition which arises when there is a build up of glucose in the blood due to a lack of insulin. In other words you need to be an insulin dependant diabetic who is eating a diet rich in carbs and not managing your insulin intake properly.
