I heard on TV the other night that it is dangerous to stay in ketosis for 3 months. Does anyone know how long you can stay in ketosis safely, or is there a limit at all? My ketostix have been the darkest purple since day 3. Thanks.

Re: Extended ketosis
I'm new at this, too, but I suspect that's just a rumor. Dr. Atkins probably saw people stay in ketosis for a year or longer. He would have mentioned that in his book. Remember from the book that ketosis is just fat burning and how can that possibly be dangerous? It's what our bodies are meant to do!

Re: Extended ketosis
that is so bogus if they are using Dr Atkins definition of ketosis everybody on earth would be dead now from unhealthily being in ketosis every night of their lives! Dr Atkins defined ketosis as burning fats for fuel period nothing else to it. Every human burns fats for fuel during the night while they are sleeping cause the foods they ate for dinner are gone after several hrs and the body naturally switches to fats as the fuel source till morning.
Dr Atkins said you could do induction eating as long as you feel healthy and have weight to lose.
If youare worried about your health discuss it with your doctor and ask for some blood tests to back it up should they tell you you need to stop.by the book atkinseer
