This is from an Atkins devotee:

"The core of the Atkins program is converting the body from glycolysis  
(burning glucose as fuel) to ketosis (burning fat as fuel).  Dietary  
fat levels need to be >65% of calories.  If not, the body will still  
remain in glycolysis by converting 58% of excess protein into glucose  
(via gluconeogenesis)."

Elsewhere she says, "Everyone will go through a plateau at the six  
week mark...."

I read this to say that everyone will plateau at the six week mark  
when the body figures out how to convert protein to glucose.  I wonder  
if one will still plateau if they stick to the fat as 65% of calories  
or more restriction.

Happy New Year everyone!
