+Atkins can't possibly be that ignorant. The liver can process fat to other
+things and fat cells take it up avidly.

James Admits: Maybe that isn't what he said...my memory isn't perfect.
However, "fat cells take it up avidly" is exactly what we don't want to
happen
and what I meant when I said depositing fat "God Knows Where!".
What are these other things fat is processed to in the liver without
ketosis?

+Plaque regression happens just fine
+w/o ketosis (c.f. work on Pritikin and Ornish diets)

James Wonders: Is there never any ketosis on the Priikin and Ornish diets?
How is fat used-up or lost when "glucosis" is never interupted? Serious
question as I am no expert on this by any means...just trying to explore
the issues without dilligent study of the field.
