I'm not going to downvote you (even though I disagree. ;P) - because I think you are right in exactly one aspect - weigh the risks before you start. Go out and read a few books, studies, what have you and decide for yourself what makes sense. There is a whole list of books on the sidebar over there, and you can watch Gary Taubs on Youtube, I hear.

My favorite go-to book for scientific reasons why Keto works - written in an easily understood style - is Jonny Bowden's Living Low Carb - he's not even really a proponent of keto per se, more of eating less processed foods, but his writing is great. http://www.amazon.com/Living-Low-Carb-Controlled-Carbohydrate-Long-Term/dp/1402768257/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1346341940&sr=1-1&keywords=living+low+carb

Obviously, there are tons more sources, but you should read /something/ before you eat a ton of bacon. Because friends and family will be all over you to eat healthier - and you'll have to back up your choices. (probably, just based on personal experience)
