That's fine, but I repeat, how do you know other dieters aren't dumping ketones in their urine, too? Is this something you've read somewhere, or are you just pulling that data out of your ass, along with excess ketones? Other diets cause weight loss, too, and that fat has to go somewhere. Unless it's removed by liposuction, it has to be turned into ketone bodies and turned into energy, just like in Atkins dieters.



It's also available on my bookshelf -- two copies, in fact (I loaned one copy to a friend and needed to refer to the book before she was ready to give it back). If you had checked my profile, you could have seen that I HAVE read DANDR. Unlike you, however, I regard it as a useful tool and not as the "revealed truth" of the One True Orthodox Diet Religion. I think you maybe need to read less and think more.

By the way, in DANDR Dr. Atkins notes that some people on the diet lose weight without having the keto strips change, which contradicts your first pronunciamento.
