The plain-English version

Everything on KetoForum — guides, recipes, protocols, the diagnostic, community content — is education. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. We are not your doctors. We don't know your labs, your medications, or your history.

Ketogenic diets and fasting are meaningful physiological interventions. They change how your body handles glucose, insulin, sodium, and fluid. That is why they work — and why they deserve respect:

• If you take medication — especially insulin, sulfonylureas, blood pressure medication, or lithium — talk to your prescriber before changing how you eat. Doses that were right before keto can become wrong on it.
• If you are pregnant or nursing, this is not the time for carb restriction experiments or fasting protocols.
• If you have a history of disordered eating, fasting in particular can do more harm than good. Please work with a professional.
• If you have type 1 diabetes, kidney disease, or any chronic condition, these tools may still be available to you — but only with medical supervision.

If something feels wrong — chest pain, fainting, heart palpitations, symptoms that persist past the first two weeks — stop reading websites and see a clinician.
