I broke a long stall with DIT.  I dropped six pounds quickly!  I went back
to paleo and I will see if I continue for another six pounds more slowly.  I
had no appetite with the low protein high fat.  It was difficult to eat 80%
fat and keep protein low.  I loved the extra energy tho and I woke up hungry
every morning.  If you kept getting hungry I think saturated fat raises your
insulin levels....
Too, how is your thyroid?  Oliva

 I don't accept the
premise that if carbs are sufficiently restricted calories become
irrelevant to weight loss.  Even at zero carbs, or as close as one can
practically get to it, it is possible to either fail to lose weight or
to gain weight.  My gain of two pounds while eating about 90% fat is
proof of that.  What was interesting about that experiment was the way
my appetite kept increasing.  I have done near-zero carb before, and
also noticed a gradual increase in appetite, and eventual weight gain.
 I guess a reasonable hypothesis is that in addition to the absence of
DIT, my rate of gluconeogenesis is inadequate.  I could test this by
checking blood glucose during zero carb dieting; maybe I should do so.
