If you carry on with this "sugar induced ketosis" shit, there is a good chance that you'll end up as one too. Trust me, the prospect of your eyeballs bleeding and getting your feet chopped off isn't fun.</p> <p>Deliberately overloading your endocrine system is always going to have a bad outcome, and is about as far from "Paleo" as you possibly can get.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/156231/good-ketosis-vs-bad-ketosis/156271#156271 Answer by meta for Good ketosis vs. bad ketosis? meta 2012-10-17T06:59:54Z 2012-10-17T06:59:54Z <p>ketosis =/= ketoacidosis</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_ketoacidosis" rel="nofollow">Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a <strong>potentially life-threatening complication</strong> in patients with diabetes mellitus. It happens predominantly in those with type 1 diabetes, but it can occur in those with type 2 diabetes under certain circumstances. DKA results from a shortage of insulin; in response the body switches to burning fatty acids and producing acidic ketone bodies that cause most of the symptoms and complications.</a></p>
