Weak prediction: He won’t enter ketosis this time either, and will instead get weaker and/or faint. I assume he’s done the standard genetic tests that are available, but I’d be concerned he isn’t capable of ketosis.
I’ve done the test on 23andMe, but I didn’t find anything related on ketosis resistance. If you know where to look, please point it out because I’m interested as well.
Figuring out what genetic markers might or might not help seems like the kind of thing Metamed might be helpful for, but it’s pretty expensive. A cursory literature search turned up one or two things, but as I’m neither expending a lot of time on it nor an expert in the area, I don’t think it would be useful to pass on.
A lack of actual ketosis, in a ketosis-inducing situation, is a pretty strong indicator of that something is going on—figuring out what is potentially valuable, if you could find a friendly geneticist. Pointing that out is the most I can do.
Well, this seems like a major hint.

Are you thinking of any in particular?
The one that comes to mind is 23AndMe, but I know there are others.
It may or may not be useful. I’d expect him to have checked that, though.

Sorry, I don’t.
