Yes, it is fine. DO NOT make lemonade even if it is with stevia or splenda or truvia or purevia or any "ok" sweetener.
The lemon is good is small amounts and has a nice pH balancing effect, detoxing element, and is good for digestion and elimination.
HOWEVER, it larger quantities, it is still juice with sugars and can be disturbing to ketosis if you ingest too much.
It is fine to use in marinade,cooking, salad dressing, or to brighten the flavor of water in reasonable/small portions.
If you can tolerate a weak lemonade like water drink you could try to use just a small amount of water, splenda, and a very small amount of lemon juice (you should stay around 1 1/2 fluid ounce a day which is 4.5g of sugar based carbs).
