Hi Janey,

Well from what I can see it must be true that the fat can't be stored unless eaten with a carb (to some extent anyway) because isn't that what happens on Atkins - you don't eat many carbs at all and lots of fat - the first two weeks you are allowed 20 carbs but they are all low on the GI so basically it is the same rule just to a stricter degree. After the first 2 weeks more carbs are gradually introduced but basically according to the GI scale he (Atkins) just dosent say that much about it - probably just to keep it as simple as possible and not confuse people.
