I am suspicious of deliberately causing one's body to make ketones. I am
diabetic and have some damage to my retinas and am developing cataracts(My
vision is still fine, but will deteriorate)These are common complications 
of
diabetes, which when poorly controlled causes ketosis. I have read someone
trying to say that ketosis caused by a ketogenic diet is quite different
from Ketoacidosis caused by diabetes, but I am unconvinced.I now control 
my
diabetes very well to reduce the damage being caused. Most must have
happened before I was diagnosed. Then I was losing weight. The loss stopped
after I got in control and now I have to work harder at it. I do write 
down
what I eat and I have to check blood sugar daily for control.
