Uh oh..... That doesn't sound good.

Does this mean that the Atkins Fat Fast can kill you ...

Unsupervised ketosis is counterindicated for anyone diagnosed with
diabetes. It's too hard to tell the beginning of ketoacidosis from just
burning fat for fuel. What for others is a guarantee that it's benign
for diabetics requires careful supervision. And the more extreme the
ketotic plan the worse it is. Supervised diabetic low carbers tend to
do more mild plans.

Think about the goal of the Fat Fast - It is to force the hormone levels
so the body withdraws more fat from storage than it can burn for fuel
and you end up losing more on the Fat Fast than you could by eating zero
calories.

Think about the events of starting ketoacidosis - The body starts
withdrawing more fat from storage than it can burn as fuel. Then the
process goes out of control.

The Fat Fast is a deliberate attempt to force what happens in
ketoacidosis. An extremely bad idea for a diabetic. Yet it's just some
random unpleasant extremist diet for others.

... even tho' it's the
fastest way to dump weight and force the body to burn fat as fuel?

No it's not. Induction is a two week plan to get into ketosis and it's
at 20 carb grams (net or total depending on how old the edition of your
book is). The Fat Fast starts with the two weeks of Induction to make
it less painful and then starts the plan of 1000 calories 90% of which
is fat. You're not supposed to start on the Fat Fast.
