As for everything else you've claimed, sources please.
As with most dietary topics, good research is hard to find, basically because you can't depend on accurate reporting for trial subjects. So most of the studies surrounding the impacts of Ketones on health is related to type 1 diabetes.

Basically there is a good body of evidence that high enough ketone levels in your blood is a critically dangerous condition. And a growing body of evidence that long term exposure to high levels generally just wears on your organs that control for this.

These fad diets needing to be based around a simple catch phrase that can sell a book doesn't seem all that provable to me, but it also doesn't seem like an extraordinary claim.


My last claim was that you could not find a well controlled study that would show a substantial enough benefit to offset the risks of a diet like this.
