Dietary fat, in the absence of carbs has a phenominal effect on the body - it causes the body to burn body fat.

I didn't make this up, Dr. A did. I believe he said "A wise dieter can turn this to their advantage".

Early on in low carbing, particularly if you have a lot to lose, eating fat in sufficient quantities will not cause any problems, in fact it is required in order for the loss to take place.

I found that by nearing my goal, I was more aware of fat intake - because I had to get my calories down - as you lose, you need less calories - every 10 pounds you have to recalculate.
