Oliva Well it's just a way to express, how I understood Elizabeths description how DIT worked. increasing body heat, because protein intake was somewhat low, so that more must be eaten to get enough protein, so that energy is to much to use. Therefore body temperature can (or even must) be elevated. This of course would only occur if the body isn't starving (equally low protein and energy). Therefore ther must be a che ck against starving or not. (abundance check). My idea is that ketosis (basically a form of carbohydrate starving) could prevent DIT. Cheers Amadeus
