I have a small review paper on ketogenic diet in pdf form if anyone wants it
I can send it as an attachment -- finds no evidence that ketogenic diets lead
to loss of lean body mass. Also on the Atkins site there are summaries of
dozens of articles that address the issue of lean body mass directly.

Namaste, Liz
