Beats me.  By the same toke, at 2600 calories a day I should be losing
weight at a rapid clip, but it's not happening.  My weight appears to be
*stable* on a diet of 11 cal/lb.  Maybe you and I are simply "outliers"
on the curve -- or off the curve completely.

I really do think that this DIT business has something to do with it.
 The fact that I ended up gaining weight on a very low-protein, high-fat
diet suggests that DIT is simply not happening in my body.  Maybe those
of us for whom that is true are simply calorie-adders, whereas other,
such as yourself, are not.  At any rate, I'm running out of other theories.
