Since I haven't seen any loss on the scales yet, I can only conjecture,
but...
I don't think it has ever been shown that ketosis causes weight loss --
at least not invariably. Some people lose weight for a while in
ketosis, then stop; some people don't lose at all; some people gain. It
is possible that when ketosis is accompanied by weight loss, the actual
mechanism is DIT. It would be nice if we had a simple way to measure DIT...
