The fact that I bothered to re-post expressing concern about how my previous post might be taken should be proof enough of my intentions but take it however you wish.

Please read the entire post rather than taking one sentence - that refers back to a previous paragraph - out of context. Or if you prefer take it as a statement of proven bio-chemistry.. the fact is that without carbs and insulin we cannot store fat... as in "fat cells", not "overweight".

What really surprises me is that we have been told for 30+ years that "fat will clog our arteries" or that "ketones are unhealthy" or that "protein is bad for our kidneys"... so why is it taking so long to find some proof of these facts..?
