• ”The diet involves cutting way back on carbohydrates, to 50 grams a
day or less, to help the body achieve a state of ketosis, in which it has
to burn fat (rather than sugar) for energy.”
• “Some people report that when they start ketosis, they just feel sick,”
• “There can sometimes be vomit, gastrointestinal distress, a lot of
fatigue, and lethargy.”
