Ray Peat says in one of the Diet Doctor interviews that, regarding ketosis, "...the problem occurs over a few years of exposure to that increased breakdown of protein..."
I think that as long as the fat content emphasised saturated fats such as coconut oil and butter, and discarded nuts, pork and chicken, a short-term curative ketogenic diet could achieve weight-loss without overly stressing the system with cortisol. I also think that anyone worried about a too-rapid breakdown of PUFA-containing fats and muscles could supplement vitamin E to counteract any potential negative effects. Once the dieter was sufficiently thin, they could switch to a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet without any significant increase in body fat.
So, hypothetically, if one wished to lose body fat quickly, do you think that a ketogenic diet would be a realistic "fix" that could be discontinued after, say, six months to a year of a low-carb way of eating?
