These kind of scary warnings apply to almost no one, basically olympic atheletes in ketosis, and can be treated with a glass of orange juice. For the other 99% of us, ultimate performance is not the goal, and keto is a great way to stabilze blood sugar.

What scary warnings? This is basic exercise science. It applies regardless if your VO2max is 88 or 30, and indeed John Doe is more at risk of hypoglycemia as higher utilization of fatty acid oxidation at lower exercise intensity is one of the primary adaptations gained through training.
