Sorry guys, One more question about Ketosis

I've been all around the q&a boards and the library and I still have questions regarding ketosis. Some say it is a good state to be in others say it is dangerous.I am in ketosis all the time(I'm 4 wks post-op)ranging from small to large amounts on the Ketostix. I do consume carbs although probably most of what I eat is protein(I do eat alot of beans, yogurt, fish, cheese and crackers)so what I don't understand is as long as you are losing weight are you in a state of ketosis regardless if you are eating all carbs or protein, does it just mean you are burning fat, or is it muscle? Why do some people say it's a very unhealthy state to be in and why do some people say it is our goal. Will it damage my kidneys and liver? Because I'd rather have my health in 10 years than a couple extra pounds lost a month. I drink 50-64oz of water a day. And if you eat all protein does your body still absorb some fat because I also want to maintain the health of my skin hair and nails? ThankYou
