I looooove this!
It sounds very well reasoned to me, and I've been saying since I started that the whole "calorie is a calore" thing is bogus, because my mother tripled her calories on Atkins and started losing weight. You've explained why!

I'm going to be saving this explanation because I find it so intriguing. And why extra fat can be very helpful to people in a stall.

Thanks for the use of your brain...

and keep us posted on your progress!
