According to the Arnold Schwarzenegger Encyclopedia on Modern Bodybuilding, ketosis is a bad thing.
It says that ketosis eventually end up burning muscle and water alongside the fat when one loses weight.
I've also heard that if you have a low-carb diet it suppresses insulin, isn't this bad if insulin is an anabolic hormone?

What is this
What exactly does it mean to be in or fall out of ketosis? And how do you know either way?

When there's not enough available glucose, due to low carb consumption, the body reverts to fatty acids and ketones for fuel (particularly ketones to fuel the brain). Around a 65/25/5 fat: protein: carb ratio will get you into ketosis usually. Eating any substantial carbs that is not during exercise will for surely knock you out.
