...People (and even some ill-informed doctors) often confuse ketosis, which is a perfectly normal metabolic process, with ketoacidosis, which is a life-threatening condition. The latter is the consequence of insulin-deficient subjects having out-of-control blood sugar levels, a condition that can occur as well in alcoholics and people in a state of extreme starvation. Ketosis and ketoacidosis may sound vaguely alike, but the two conditions are virtually polar opposites and can always be distinguished from each other by the fact that the diabetic has been consuming excessive carbohydrates and has high blood sugar, in sharp contrast to the fortunate person who is doing Atkins.
Almost everyone enters ketosis almost every day. Yet we're not all kicking the bucket. Morning breath is pretty much "ketone breath". As you sleep, you have gone eight to twelve hours without food. Your body is no longer running on carbs, but on ketones: broken down fat. Add to that the fact that you cannot burn body fat without breaking that fat into ketones. That is just how it works. If you are losing weight and not producing ketones you are burning muscle!
