It really is a sad fact that some experts add more to the confusion surrounding health and nutrition then they do to clear things up.
One such area is that of ketosis vs ketoacidosis.
While you may be unfamiliar with these terms, you will most certainly know about low carb and very low carb diets, and it is likely you’ve heard health professionals warning against the dangerous side-efffects of low-carbing.

What if you could accomplish something really great in the next 30 days?
Can you imagine that that is possible?
When I talk to people about the problems they face, one of the things they frequently mention is the difficulty of establishing a consistent exercise routine.
It is difficult, no doubt about it.
So, I’m trowing down the gauntlet, so to speak, and setting you a challenge.
It won’t be easy, but who knows, the benefits may be even greater than we both imagine!
There’s no doubt eating a higher protein diet has become much more in-vogue in recent years.
You only have to take a look at your supermarket shelves to see that.
Food manufacturers have caught on to the idea that protein sells. So, you’ll find the word splattered on everything from drinks to breakfast cereals to ‘health’ bars.
But, according to some, having a few too many chicken wings could end you in the dialysis ward.
If you’ve ever hit a weight loss plateau, no doubt someone has tried to ‘diagnose’ your plight as the result of the mystery ‘starvation mode.’
But, is this a true phenomenon, or simply another misinformed dieting myth?
Well, starvation mode is really the non-scientific term used to describe the metabolic, hormonal, psychological, and behavioral responses which happen with an extreme or prolonged calorie deficit.
The evidence is actually pretty convincing that starvation mode does exist, but there have certainly been some misunderstandings in the finer details.
For years we have been fed lies and/or inaccurate information about what constitutes a healthy diet.
One of the biggest pieces of misinformation we’ve been told is to avoid unhealthy fats, specifically saturated fat.
As a result, the general public have been terrified into thinking if they eat too much saturated fat it will clog the arteries.
This has led to the mass avoidance of saturated fat. But, has that resulted in a subsequent reduction in heart disease? Absolutely not! In fact, we’re in a worse position now that ever before.
Clearly, something isn’t right!
