happen simultaneously. And with no distinction about who exactly this would happen to (as we’ve already noted, mostly type 1 diabetics who have no insulin production), this kind of statement can only cause fear and panic about getting into a state of ketosis. In fact, in their definition of ketosis , the ADA describes it as “a ketone buildup in the body that may lead to diabetic ketoacidosis,” with warning signs of “nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain.”
Worse, the ADA’s recommended treatment for diabetes is to eat carbs and just cover up their effects with insulin. There’s nothing wrong with taking insulin if it’s truly needed, of course, but even diabetics will experience all the problems that come from eating carbs that everyone else does (with far worse effects than those experienced by nondiabetics). And the ADA makes no mention of the therapeutic use of ketogenic diets in controlling blood sugar and improving health—including for the millions of people with type 2 diabetes who stand to benefit from a ketogenic diet (we’ll tell you more about that in chapter 16). It’s all just gloom and doom.
Given that their audience is composed of the people most at risk for ketoacidosis, the ADA’s concern is understandable. But as long as their blood sugar stays low, diabetics have nothing to fear from ketosis—and since research shows that it can be hugely beneficial in controlling diabetes (again, more on that in chapter 16), they may actually have a lot to gain.

Our studies suggest that the major protective effect of ketosis is a significant reduction in glucose metabolism. This is the opposite of diabetes.

Just as all these highly regarded organizations—each considered a major authority on health—have formed a united front on cholesterol as the cause of heart disease, (as we shared in Cholesterol Clarity ), so too have they ganged up on ketosis, describing it as something that is both undesirable and dangerous. These messages from doctors, dietitians, and know-it-all gurus are totally bogus. That’s why we decided to write this book: to present the arguments for ketosis that are nearly the exact opposite of what all these health groups are saying.
A ketogenic diet has been shown to produce certain therapeutic effects that have led many doctors and other health professionals to recognize it as even more beneficial than the most advanced medications on the market today. In the next chapter, we’ll learn more about medical practitioners whose patients are following low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diets, with some rather stunning results.
Key Keto Clarity Concepts
Mainstream health organizations often use hyperbolic rhetoric to describe ketosis.
Most information we hear about ketosis is incorrect.
Confusion about the difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis is a major issue.
Major health authorities are united in their opposition to ketosis.

Humans went into ketosis every winter for thousands of generations. Being in a low level of ketosis is the more natural state for our metabolism. We do have metabolic flexibility and can operate on amino acids, glucose, or fat.
– Dr. Terry Wahls

When you hear the leading health authorities say all those negative things about ketosis that we shared in the last chapter, it may lead you to the conclusion that no physician would ever want a patient to be put on a ketogenic diet. But the truth is that plenty of doctors are prescribing a low-carb, high-fat nutritional approach for patients who are dealing with a wide variety of chronic health problems, and they are seeing dramatic improvements on the diet. (I created a resource at LowCarbDoctors.blogspot.com to help connect patients to people in the medical profession who are willing to think outside the box to make them healthier.) In this chapter, we’ll highlight a few of them and show how the low-carb, high-fat diet is working for
