Once ketones go much above 2.0mM, tissues become resistant to their utilization and the body will actually release insulin to bring ketones down?

I am not sure if Robb Wolf is correct here after I review his posted pic.

“Chasing ketones, other than for some very specific medical conditions, almost always leads folks into behavior that is counter productive. Cutting protein too low, loading up on fat bombs. Once ketones go much above 2.0mM, tissues become resistant to their utilization and the body will actually release insulin to bring ketones down. Ketogenic diets almost certainly offer a host of advantages for the right situations, but much of the information on this topic is leading folks astray. Chase results, not ketones!”

Are there any studies supporting this? The only studies I’ve seen of fasting show insulin quite low and not increasing while ketones stay high.

Hang around here a bit, and you’ll see ample evidence to support Robb’s assertion.
