First: to the list, sorry about forgetting to turn off my signature.  and
accidentally positn private messages to the list.  I is dumb sometimes.

Now, for Ketosis:

I've learned that drugs like zocor can inhibit your entry.  But if you are
having difficulty:

        1.  No carbs - period

        2.  Fat to Protein ratio:       70% fat, 30% protein (by calorie)

        3.  Try calories at 12 x your bodyweight in pounds

With this you will enter ketosis.  Unsurprisingly, saturated fat works
better to drive you into ketosis.
