Also keep in mind that saturated fat reduces insulin sensitivity, i.e., carbs you eat in that state are more likely to go into fat. On straight Atkins it's probably not a big issue since you're not eating any carbs, but on CKD is might be because the carbup is as, if not more, important as the ketogenic phase. This thought shows up in Duchaine's BodyOpus and Lyle's journals. How long this reduced insulin sensitivity lasts - don't know, but I've been avoiding saturated fat altogether and it seemed to have helped. That kind of sucks because it knocks convenient things like cheese off the menu, but... that's how it is, I guess!
