I've been thinking about getting on a Ketogenic diet lately and getting my body into a state of Ketosis.  Have you ever tried it?
Is that similar to Atkins ? If so, yes i have 
It's another kind of diet that's different than Atkins.
Oh ok, well i am familiar with ketosis which forces the body to burn its own fat for fuel and i did get good results when i did that
Right, whereas the Atkins diet works in phases.  The Ketogenic diet is a high-fat, moderate protein, low-carb diet.
I am definitely interested. I have only ever thought of ketone diets as either Atkins or Southbeach etc, so i would like to learn some more. Sounds good to me
It's a great diet.  Basically it's well known for being a low carb diet where the body produces ketones in the liver to be used as energy.
i just hear so much bad things regarding low carb diets now a days about high fat etc that i would be concerned about high cholestoral. Is that common?
As long as you're getting your cholesterol from healthy sources such as eggs.
i am going to research more into it, i am obese and i very much want to begin a healthy diet
Along with your healthy diet, try getting some exercise each day.  Start with just a few minutes and work your way up to 30 minutes or an hour.  Even if it takes a long time.
Could you tell me if the ketone diet is recommended if you are diabetic and follow a diabetic diet?
Indeed.  A Ketogenic Diet can have a positive effect on glucose levels, while reducing the need for insulin!  It's a diet that is becoming known for easing the symptoms of diabetes.
