Do a search for "Atkins", we've discussed it many times, but this is my favorite argument. If you low-carb during the week, then carb load on the weekend, you will throw yourself out of ketosis, and it takes approximately 24-72 hours to get back into ketosis after reinducting. So you would only experience a few days of actual ketosis, and limited if any weight loss. I've lost 58 lbs. in 10 months by staying at <30 grams per day. I don't consider that a shortcut, and it has made me able to control my diabetes w/o oral meds. along with improving every other aspect of my blood work - cholesterols, triglycerides, etc.

DANDR, page 63 - "Research shows that chronic ketosis without caloric restriction poses no danger to your heart, kidneys, blood or bone health". I can quote the actual references for that statement, if you're interested.
