Hello all...

OK, so on Atkins we're supposed foods with low low carbs and tons of protein and fat. In the absence of carbs, our body will begin burning its fat stores for energy. OK, great.

BUT what in the world happens to all that fat we're eating? It just doesn't make sense. Back in the carb world, when we ate fatty foods, they made us fat. Even the fatty steaks and eggs, which don't have carbs. But now, on a diet without carbs, the fatty foods actually make us LOSE weight. It doesn't make sense! Does the fat we eat on Atkins go right through? Or does it go to the butt, the tummy, the thighs, like normal fat on a normal diet? And then have to be burned off?

I hope I'm making sense. I can't understand this!!
Thanks!
